Spigen Rugged Armor Pro Designed for Steam Deck Hard Shell Travel Carrying Case with Pockets for Accessories and Original Charger Storage Bag Carry Case - Black

First off, this thing is CHONKY. When I first opened the box, I was surprised at the sheer size of it. I debated returning based on size alone since I purchased this to be my travel setup. But after looking it over and inspecting the design and materials, I had no option but to keep it. Shell looks and feels fantastic. The top does have a little give due to the cavernous storage space on the inside. One dislike, though: the central strap does hold the SD in place, but tilting it side to side does cause the SD to shift and bump into the molding of the case - you can hear and feel it when it does this. My guess is they over approximated the handheld molding to accommodate grip cases, which is something a LOT of case manufacturers fail to do. I needed a push to buy a grip case anyway. Storage space above the Deck as mentioned before is pretty cavernous. I initially had reservations about it being directly above the Deck, but the netting is doubled up, leaving only a little give from a heavy load. I put my external battery,(Insignia 80W 26,800 mah) some cables, and polish cloth in there with tons of room to spare. The netting also had little give with the battery in there. Since Ill be traveling with this stored on its side, I dont see much issue with it. The storage space under the Deck is also a nice touch. It wont quite fit the standard charger, but I ordered the 45W Samsung travel charger, which should fit just fine. Another weird upside: due to its more forgiving molding design, its pretty easy to rotate the SD in the case and charge it while zipped up. The strap is also a point of contention for the case. The strap itself is rigid with little give - which is good - and lined in a nice microfiber fabric. The lash point on the case is a nice Spigen branded metal buckle that feels incredibly secure in use. I dont really use the strap on my original case, so this wasnt a selling point for me. However, I could see it being pretty reliable for someone on the fence about it being anchored on the corner of the case. Overall, I really like this chonky boi. Im a sucker for little details and even down to the little YKK zips are Spigen branded. Comparing this to the Valve case is a night and day difference. This has that premium look that really compliments the SD. If you can look beyond the size, its an absolutely fantastic case.

While the shell withstands punishment, the interior zipper pouch tears and decays almost immediately when anything but wires are put inside. The strap has snapped within weeks of use, and the loop holster attached to the bag is ripping off. Extreme decay after barely a month’s use, extremely disappointed. Buyer beware.

If you have a Steam Deck with the revised D brand project Killswitch case and travel cover this carrying case will work for you. The kickstand must be removed for storage but it stows away nicely in the upper mesh zipper pocket or the pocket underneath the Deck. Its tight with the travel cover on but the velcro still latches to secure the steam deck tightly. Its worth mentioning that the extra bulk provided by the project Killswitch travel coverwill limit what you can put in the mesh pocket without distorting the case upon zipping I initially tried putting my wall outlet charger in there but it made the case bulge so I moved it to the pocket underneath the deck.

This case is fantastic. Steam Deck’s offical case is nice, but doesn’t give you any real storage for anything other than the deck itself. With this case you can store everything from chargers, battery packs, microSD cases, cords/cables, and anything else really you can fit in there. There is a secret pocket inside of it as well that I put an apple AirTag in in case it’s miss placed! Can’t recommend enough and for the price it’s a fantastic upgrade from the OEM case.

The size is just too big, do not expect you can just toss it in your small backpack and travel around, you will probably will be carrying it in your hand. Having said that, it offers enough space to store all the things that you would be throwing in your backpack separately in one convenient, secure and sturdy case; in my case when I go visit on the weekends instead of bringing my backpack I can just carry this case with everything I need and know it will be secure and handy. For the price and quality I recommend buying it but again let me reiterate that this is bigger than you expect it to be.

I use it to hold a charging adaptor along with headphones & usb C cord. It’s perfect for travel. It’s a big case but considering how important the item your carrying is…it’s worth it.

I really like this case and it fits my steam deck the the unicorn nettle pro case pretty good but it came with a very bad smell. It smelled like a used book in a bad way

A little bulky

Is somewhat bigger than the original case the steam deck came with but it’s well worth the size! It works great with the kill switch case I have on my steam deck. I like how it also has the zip pocket to keep the cords or car charger handy.

Fits my steam deck with a hard case on. Has a cool Magnetic pocket that fits the bulky charger. Great quality and all around I have no complaints.
