The fact that DBrand didn't make similar cut out for USB port is mind boggling. None of their engineers looked at their solution with USB extender for original dock and said "this is a monstrocity, we can't ship it like this"...

This is the reason why the steam deck will continue to be the best handheld for the foreseeable future, even though it may be beaten in power, the support from different brands and the community will NEVER happen for other handhelds and make the steam deck a very good choice for most people

I understand that 'nervous' feeling as I just took the dive to acquire a Retroid Pocket 3+ knowing that in a few months, a manufacturer is possibly going to supersede that device. I know personally that the device will satisfy the need that I wanted. I have been waiting for 'that device' for approximately a year.

Recently received my 256GB model steam deck, and honestly, even though it isn’t nearly as powerful as my main rig, it has pretty much replaced it. It feels good to the hands and is a blast to use. I think the steam deck will be supported by valve for at least the next 5 years, and even when valve decides to abandon it as they do with nearly everything, the community will do the work for them, so if support or use for it is a concern for you, don’t worry, the community will handle it once valve doesn’t.

It seems that they don't have any plans to replace it in the immediate future, as they've said that keeping a large group of gamers locked at a certain performance threshold is really useful for game development, etc. They might pull a Nintendo and have an OLED refresh, but the guts will likely stay largely the same: i think you're safe 🙂

I thought the same for a while and waited. I have had my steamdeck now for a month and use it daily. I am really surprised at what it can run and the amounts of unristrickted tinkering you can do with it. Even as a project for a techlover, it's worth it. Saying that, maybe in a year a better one will come out. But even then, the value it brings is huge! I always wanted to play games but it's a hassle to sit behind my rig because it reminds me of work. So now I can easily grab it, play games, take it to a friends house, chill behind the TV and so on. It changed how I see the coming future. Normally I would not take the train and grap the car but now I do. Playing your favourite game while going to work made my day so much better. Any how, that is how I think about it, there is not really a losing situation here. Waiting and get (probably) thinner divice or going for it since it's a great hobby and tool for a tech lover. I even lost my laptop charger on eday and used the steamdeck to work in the cloud, that was a golden moment for me.

However I jumped on a 512gb Steam Deck and don't regret doing so and I doubt it will be replaced/updated by valve in any significant way in the next 2 years or so. They had to put a lot of time, R&D and built relationships with partners/vendors to source what they've put together at the price point they have. Any major update to that will take time. I could only see small things like perhaps an OLED screen and/or battery life upgrade in any sort of near term.

Thought I'd throw in my 2 cents - been using my killswitch since it came out, and the protection it offers in a bag is great. It's rock solid and saves on space a full case would take up. I wouldn't worry too much about throwing that in a bag

To top it off the deck isn't even that expensive, the whole reason it's so popular is that it's a pretty cheap product for what you get. Most phones nowadays are easily over 2-3 times the price a deck and yet no one is putting a case inside a case for their phones, and everyone seems to be getting by just fine I've had no issues with just the case and cover in my bag, and gives me much more space for other things like a controller or headphones

Regardless, it looks like the travel cover is kind of a useless concept. I was interested in it because I wanted something I can slip in and out of my bag on the subway. However, unless you have some sort of tight pouch you can slip the deck into. It's pointless.

Pretty decent case, if I didn't already have a TPU sleeve with a kickstand I added to it, I'd consider this instead. One thing I wish they would include in these is storage slots for micro SD cards. I'm sure they could mold those in fairly easily. I ended up just using 3M tape to stick a micro SD to full-sized SD card adapter to the back of my sleeve so I can stick my Windows 11 boot SD in it.

Thanks for the video… I don’t really want all of the attachments, just something to protect it from a fall and a kickstand. The fact that this is $30 compared to dbrand’s $80 (with adapter for dock), made it an easy choice.

I don’t think many people say thanks to you for being honest to your community and aren’t swayed by the money the company gives for a fake review or try’s to intimidate you when you say the products flaws or saying what you don’t like. Company’s hate you but remember we as the community respect you for doing all this. Have a great day and also make a emulation video man! I’ve been waiting for a month

I like that cut out for the charger. With the killswitch I can't use the official dock

This was very cute and you rock as a father

The tiny hands of your son were too adorable XD

The only reason I don't like the transparent plastic backs, for the same reason I hate transparent phone cases, is that they turn yellow over time and require cleaning more often. This is probably by design to work with their other transparent shells, which is fine. I have their original case and it's still in good condition. Besides being modular, my favorite addition is the top having button covers vs the old model being too concave to press. Can't wait to see what 3D printed add-ons people come up with.

i wish theyd make a case that had an optional fan attachment for the metal plate, wont help much for heat but itll do something better than the other ones you can buy

YO THAT HAND FREAKED ME OUT!!! lol😂

Velcro is cheaper but long play times can weaken the adhesive and well looks better then a strap (though mine dos have a thick landing strip now)

Very wholesome 🥺

😂 I use my SD case with the front cover fine. It does zip slightly hard but not enough to pop the zipper or mess anything up. Great protection 👍

I just ordered this case for the M.2 attachment. I plan on buying a 2TB M.2 and now I can save some money and buy a full size instead of buying a 2230! Hopefully it works well for my 64GB Steam Deck

I think the end user considering this over the killswitch includes the emulator scene trying to overclock and push the thermal throttle, for example switch exclusives that have issues getting more than 15 fps. SO, we do wish you actually locked the fan and tested the thermals w/ the cooling unit under stress testing. 😂

How well does it fit into the official case? I see that you can close it but does it take some pressure? If so then it's not that safe

Would you recommend the modcase or the killswitch then, bearing in mind that I have intentions of using the travel cover as intended! I love the modular features and cheaper price, but the travel cover on the jsaux seems like a letdown.

That last video from ETA prime would be much more effective if used on that clear case back case with metal plate and theremal strip between that plate and EMI shield and that TEC element on that metal plate... It's probably ALU, should be good enough? Idea for the next video?

Great video. Just don't count how many times you hear "this thing" 😉 For that SSD, a much shorter cable with right angled connectors would work much more nicely.

I like this back mechanism more than killswitch

How heavy is it? I had a case where it was too heavy, switched it with another one that is lighter and it made all the difference. I was hoping the weight is something more compareable to a light one (this is only without attachments ofcourse)

It would depend how he had it during the pause. Before it was at 40 at 99% CPU. The after showed it at 60 fps at 70% cpu. If he didn't change any fps settings that can be huge for demanding games. It would increase ur battery life and u could pull more from the system without it getting sluggish due to temps

Why'd he go through changing the powerbank display orientation, when he could've simply rotated\flipped the battery?

I'm curious, where did you buy the steam deck pcb skin?

I have the killswitch case and I always throw in my bag the way it is, without any extra cases or bags. It does the job really well and I have no complaints besides being a little difficult to put it in and take it out, but after a while you get the hang of it.
