Protective case or not? (www.spigen.com)
submitted 10 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?

I received a transparent silicone case with a third party carrying bag I purchased and first wanted to throw it away but gave it a try.

I quite like it as it gives a much better grip and now it's on my SD 3+ months now. It doesn't feel bulkier at all(I have normal sized hands).

I used the SD without a protective case for 2 years before and it was also ok.

Unless the case makes the deck hot I think its only a personal preference
