I’ve never really put a protective case on my handheld consoles (NDS, Vita, 3DS). However, the Steam Deck is more expensive and weighs much more, meaning that even a small height fall could more easily damage it.
I was thinking about the Spigen “Thin Fit Pro”, which seems to be a tad more premium than what is usually on the market. It seems to be cut out to fit in an official dock, but I have my doubts.
What’s your take on this?
The Steam Deck isn’t a device I would use while standing or walking around, so the risk of dropping is slim. Also, in case of a fall the risk of damage to triggers and joy sticks is large, which wouldn’t be protected by a case.
I did put a screen protector on, altough it was mainly because I want a matte display as I use the Deck in places with sun light.
