For the Gorixer product, if you can't find that specific brand, look for a product that has a blue and white box. At the bottom of the box will be a patent number that isn't a patent you can find in North America.
The standout feature is the stand and it sits on the lower left side (with the Steam deck screen facing you). It has 3 different viewing angles and attaches to the case magnetically. The full product name of the product I bought was "Protective Case for Steam Deck with Kickstand, GORIXER TPU Protector Cover Accessories with Stand & Screen Protector & Thumb Grips, Full Protection, Non-Slip, Anti-Collision for Steam Deck - Black"
For the Benazcap product, the case is grey with the company name in white on the top and bottom. The case has one large stand on the back and the stand sits flush along the back. The full product name of the case I bought was "Benazcap Case for Steam Deck 2021 Release, Full Body TPU+PC Protective Case Cover with Kickstand, Shockproof Non-Slip Anti-Collision Accessories Skin for Steam Deck - Black"

The Killswitch Case will fit inside the Original Steamdeck carry case if you remove the kickstand. I carry the detached kickstand in the charger case with the charger
the killswitch does fit in the steam deck case if you take off the stand. then you put it in the back pocket of the case. that’s what i do.

the stand also hold 4 microSD cards for those who don’t want extra cases for those.
Pro tip: using the gyro makes aiming in FPS wayyyy easier

@@trazyntheinfinite9895 You can raise the sensitivity so that the screen isn't moving around too much. You can also set it using Steam Input so that you only use the gyro for fine aiming when holding the left trigger to look down the sights. On my Switch I prefer to remove the joycons when gyro aiming so that the screen isn't moving, but it's still more than doable to use gyro aiming on the Deck. The improvement in aiming precision over just using the sticks makes it almost unfair to play against regular controller players.
I took his advice and when with the Gorixer, for the price it's absolutely great fitting in the case and good kickstand with multiple angles is very nice.
I've had the Benzacap case on my deck since it arrived last August and it's great. The kickstand is the perfect angle for gaming to give your hands and arms a rest. The grips are very comfortable and make the ergonomics so much better than without a case. And it's been durable and fits in my carrying case. I'm glad I bought it over the more expensive options (like dBrand).
The reviewer is a little aggressive about the Killswitch case not fitting in the Carrying case. I don't use my carrying case much because I just throw on the DBrand front cover on my Deck and throw it in my travel bag, but if you take the kickstand off and put it in the carrying case cubby the Killswitch absolutely fits the official case.
Great review. Thanks!
I agree with the Benzacap option. It's a really great case overall. It's nice and grippy, has a great simple stand and the price is great for the value you get.

What’s a good screen protector for steam deck tempered glass or film?
I have been thinking of using markers to draw on my steam deck's case but I am not sure if I should because it may damage it.
Couple things the dbrand case fits in the included case when you take of the stand OR you can buy their travel kit which has a front cover so that you don’t need the included case at all. Other thing is the jsaux mod case is a budget version of the killswitch that’s probably better than everything here
You forgot to mention dbrand’s cover so you don’t need to put it in the Steam Deck case

I’m more disappointed he didn’t mention that and his defense was not being able to use the original case
does the top pick sit well on the jsauz docking stations?
Love that message, buy what you can afford!
Hey, wondering if you can review the MagSafe in rhinoshield solid suit cases?
I was the 1000th like on this video!! Never had that happen before so I guess that means you earned my subscribe as well 😂. Great video.
I've read gorixer kickstand has a magnet that interferes with bluetooth. is that true?
Gorixir case no longer available on amazon?
The Killswitch case also has a travel top so you don't need the steam deck case you failed to mention that.

I think that's an add-on though. But I agree - if it's intended to replace the original case (which it is) then fitting into the original case really isn't an important factor.

But that means you need to ALWAYS play with 180g additional weight... Not sure about your use case but to me that is a massive drawback
Bro at 3:56 it literally looks like your dog is just painted on the wall behind you…😂I had to do a double take because I thought I was tripping for a sec😂
Try out the Jsaux mod case if you don’t use the top sell it fits in the steam deck case and comes with stand and strap for battery pack

do the analogs sit comfortable in there? like is a tight squeeze to close it?
Monty is so cute. He looks like he could be a brother of my dog. ❤
I don't know how they did it but Steam got Arkham Knight verified to run on Steam Deck 😱 Great video.
This vid is underated. I honestly really care about the deck fitting in its origional case.
Love this reviews!
Does the Steam deck with Spigen rugged armor case fit into the original Steam deck docker? I saw that the Spigen's steam deck "thin case" variant has a cut in the bottom probably to fit in the docker.
Comparing cases u should do the 3 premium ones, kill switch, satisfye, jsaux mod case.
Wish you would have done a list of screen protectors for the steam deck
i mean, its a lot of personal opinion, but im glad u reviewed the spigen as im very much interested in having a strap when im out and about
Which ones fits with the steam docking station?

You forgot the SIM card holder on the DBrand..
Best rewiew ever made
Awesome review as always. Not sure with the weird editing though. Too much unncessary stuff with the stock illustrations and flying thumbs ups
Bro you haven't try playing fps with trackpad? It's almost as accurate as mouse go to setting and change it to fit your preference bro🤛🏼

Sorry that this is a bit late, but I'm defense of the steam deck he didn't get the travel cover for it, with makes the deck extremely Portable.
i would call these shells or sleeves.. the word case makes me think of what you put it in to carry or store it.
I don't see why you would want to use the original case AND one of these. To me, it's either/or. Anything that bulks up the grips or actually adds much protection is simply not going to fit in the case that Valve designed to hold the bare product. And I don't think that can be considered a CON of the product. The fact that Killswitch doesn't fit isn't an issue, if you want to add weight to the console by having this style of case in the first place, then I'm not sure why you wouldn't go all the way and use something beefy that has a front cover you can pop on. If you want it to fit in the original case, maybe just use a skin.
In all reality there’s only 2 cases worth anything DBRAND OR JSAUX dbrand is expensive but you can get a sturdier case with a more protective( more of a pain to take off) front cover, along with a special anti glare screen protection JSAUX is cheaper depending on what bundle as there more of here’s a bunch of attachments compared to dbrand 2 attachments. JSAUX for ALL there stuff is 150$ but it comes with Mod case Adjustable strap for other accessories Cooling fan that works 11 in dock that can be used as your home dock as it has like 3 usb 1 hdmi and more SSD card thing ( you can add a bunch of storage) Portable charger ment for the Steam Deck It’s up to you dbrand is fancy and feels more protective but jsaux is such a great deal plus the kick stand can stay on all the time
Deck boizzzz
I don't see the point in a case. It sits in the.... "case" that it came in when I don't use it.
Guess it's not fitting in the original cases such a ridiculous thing to look for, aren't you looking for a replacement?
Dbrand Killswitch case with Travel cover. Wins
I thought this was a top 5??

"have", not "of".
dbrand case is ridiculously overpriced, but I can't hate on them, they do a great job of marketing and do make nice products.
Sorry what cases ? i was just looking at that adorable dog 🐶
FFS stop whining over it not fitting in the steam case and just buy another case, you know since your buying a cover thats not even needed then there is no issues with buying a case thats not needed.
you didn't try the JSAUX mod case? its my favorite case
I bought the Gorixer case ( Patent no 202230307828.7 if you are looking for it). It is very comfortable. Just take the case off when you want to dock your Steam Deck. update:The Spigen case is less comfortable but fits perfectly into a third party dock.
