Can anyone recommend a good case for carrying a Steam Deck in a backpack or similar which is less bulky than the factory case and yet protects the device? (I’ve heard the Dbrand Killswitch and JSAUX Modcase recommended, though that was a while ago.)
Echoing the Jsaux mod case. I use it in my everyday carry bag and it can slip into the front small pouch with little issue. It does the few things I need it to do, which is;
Protects the screen
Protects the joysticks
Protects the triggers (although there is a small gap, but it is fine imo)
I took out the kickstand and use the deck mates kickstand with the 3M sticky slot on the back. The issue I have with the kickstand it comes with (the Jsaux mod case kickstand) is two-fold;
limited angle, which is kind of a pain if I’m using an airplane tray and I’m flying coach
loose hinge- it tends to flop around after some use, and the screws have to be pushed back in
