Protective case or not? (www.spigen.com)
submitted 8 months ago by memo@feddit.it to c/steamdeck@sopuli.xyz

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?

That case doesn't look very protective. But I bet that kickstand would be useful. The only thing I put on my SD was a Deckmate (now Mechanism) system and their kickstand.

Didn't even put a screen protector on it which I do for everything. Mostly because I got the OG 512GB model with the etched glass and any protector is going to make the matte glass glossy.
