I'm interested in hearing both about if you still use the default carrying case that comes with the deck, and if you use any kind of protective clip-on case such as the Killswitch, JSAUX Modcase, or other.

I know it doesn't help you at the moment, but at some point between June last year and last week they've updated the kickstand to include an extra little crossbar up at the top of the metal u shaped piece of metal that makes up the stand so that you need to lose both pins for it to fall off now. (I ordered one last year and ordered a replacement kit for a 2nd steam deck that I've gifted to my wife) And I'm liking the look of the new design.

I'll see if I can take a photo later on and share it to explain as I suspect my words aren't doing a great job.

Edit: here's a quick photo I've taken to try to show the new crossbar thing in action.

Good to know!

I can't really complain to much though, mine is around 1 1/2 years old and still works.
