The case is very nice and securely holds the Steam Deck inside with no anxiety about it getting damaged. The space beneath the deck is perfect for holding power supply and cables with the hinged flap storing 5 cards. This case also includes an accessory pack that has a sleeve and thumb pads options. Both of these are not simply useless pieces tossed in for some imagined value. The sleeve is much better than what Steam offers and offers a superb slip-free grip. The thumb pad options are also welcome and can help keep your reactions smooth and accurate. For the price this is a no-brainer. It's got Steam beat at their own offerings and is a worthy upgrade.

Let's start with the things I like. The case fits the steam deck very well, even with the included wrap. The outer shell feels durable and is not much larger the OEM case. It actually sits flat compared to the OEM as it stores the charger inside the case. The charger fits perfectly under the flap with plenty of extra room for other items and will fit some steam docks.

Some things I would change. Some of the seams are unrefined and stick up, which is more a cosmetic thing than an actual problem.
The top cover doesn't seem to support the screen and the joysticks by the most optimal points, and I can't totally trust it based on that. Without the included plastic mold, there's a lot of room for the deck to shift around. To fix this, I would just add some extra pliable insulation so that it can mold to the deck and support it from every spot. Also, the SD card slots are facing down, which is really annoying. When you open the flap to get to the storage compartment they fall out and are hard to get to when they don't. I also really wish they had put a pull tab like on the OEM case so you can lift the deck out without grabbing it by the edge.

Overall, it's a great buy, but it needs a lot of quality-of-life fixes and refinement.

Firstly, thos case for the steam deck is slightly bigger with more room for accessories. In my pic I was able to get a 6ft usb-c cable, a 65watt Gan charger, and some Bluetooth earbuds and still have a little more room to spare, possibly a wired pair of earbuds. The material inside the case is very soft and my SD fit nicely in there and this did not hit the analog sticks. Also, the case is sturdy with a good handle and is semi hard and firm on the top which is a plus. The size comparing to the SD case is very similar with this one nit being much bigger at all. For this is a 5 star product, but the included accessories are very average.

The accessories as shown in the pics are stickers for the track pad and back L4, L5, R4, and R5 buttons. I did try these and the TouchPad stickers are ok but very slick, which I did remove. The back should button stickers are also very slick but usable and I did leave this on here. The screen protector looks to be the same as any other and I did not use this as I already have one applied. The included case I did try, but it adds discomfort near the grips, so this is not something I can recommend. Overall, this is a good case with niche accessories included that are average. If you need all accessories and aren't picky about the negatives, then it's a good value purchase.

This case blew away my expectations for the pride. The clear tpu case it comes with is sturdy and comfortable. The case itself has a nice soft fabric inside. Almost the same footprint as the stock case BUT room for charger, sd cards, any other accessories in the bottom hatch!

If you're considering this case, buy it now!

I've been looking for a decent Steam Deck case that holds the system and its charger on the INSIDE. Novel concept I know, wanting things you're carrying in your case to be on the inside but Valve got a little to cavalier in their unique design and decided that a better way to keep your charger secure would be the equivalent of tucking it into the band of some sweatpants, but I digress.

The case itself isn't super strong relative to Valve's own offering, being about half as resistant to flexing both inside and out, Valve's is simply far sturdier, though, they're both still more or less reinforced soft cases and if you sit on the thing it's going to get broken no matter which case it's in.

The external texture is very similar to the stock case but with a finer wave to the material. The interior has a soft, velvety sorta flocked material that's quite pleasant to the touch and there's no way it's going to scratch anything.

I was able to just take the drawstring bag with charger and cleaning cloth from my original case's equivalent to an FTX wallet and stick it in the gap under the Deck's space in the new one without any finicking at all, it just went right in, then the flap covered it, in went the deck in its TPU cover and it zipped up fine, very pleased on that front.

Pressing on the top of this or the original Deck case with the system inside results in the joysticks clicking with exactly the same amount of force, that's just a problem without one of those sets of wrap around joystick protectors for traveling I guess. This case flexes a fair bit more in the middle though.

The handle is comfortable enough, could be better. It has a rubbery grippy pad across most of it that lets you keep a good hold on it, and I gave the strap holding it in several good yanks on both sides without any sound of threads popping or the like, so that's a thumbs up.

As for the extras, I have no use for them. The touch pad covers feel VERY thin and papery and I'm sure that if you used them you'd end up with ugly white splotchy sticker paper left on the touchpads within a few weeks, they should skip on that. The joystick covers, never saw the point there either. The transparent cover though? That's mostly fine, it fits okay, it's pretty easy to get on and off compared to some TPU cases and you have access to all the controls as well as airflow being open BUT the thing is completely smooth. You can get an okay grip on it, it's not a slippery slidey plastic but I'm going to keep my current cover on with its nice ridged grips. If you don't have a cover though this one's totally adequate.

The SD card slots seem secure enough on the underside of the flap. It does require you put your micro SD's in a standard SD adapter for them to stay in place obviously, but flopping it all around I didn't experience any escapees. That said, I don't really like the design, I'm for things being fully secured and I'd take a velcro cover or zipper mesh pouch for them to go in over little elastic slots any day. Honestly, they basically have the same problem as the default case's charger slot but they went the extra quarter mile and put a bottom in these.

So, overall? A pretty decent case in the price range. I'm going to be using this as my main case for the time being as I really dislike how valve handled the storage space under the system. I'm sure their main goal was to keep the Steam Deck itself safe from any extra loose bits or bobs that might have escaped it, but I still just think it's awkward and not very useable. The solution offered here, a similar sized space with a cover is just grand.
