If you had a grip case installed like Skull & Co would the analog still be safe inside the bag? My gripe is that the case is too small for the Deck if it has a grip installed.

I bought one of those. I know the brand has a good rep. But I returned it almost immediately. It just didn't have enough room for my accessories (the only reason I want to buy a different case than the stock one.) Mouse + Charger + Dock + Controller + Battery + HDMI and a couple USBs. It was too much to stuff in there.

If there's one major point about the provided steam case that I feel like folks overlook, it is; it survived *fedex* shipping. Like outside of the shipping box, the only protection the Steam Deck comes in is the case. And I (so far) haven't heard of a steam deck coming to a person damaged. So that's a high bar for any other manufacturer to meet.

Great video! 3:07 on the website it shows that the steam deck can go facing away or towards that big pad. I chose the latter because I found the "W shape" padding can shift side to side and push on the sticks. This happened when I put some items in the pocket area that the "W shape" creates. Also, the "W shape" is not connected to the bottom of the bag allowing things to go under it and possibly scratching or pressing into the screen. So I just feel a little safer turning the Steam Deck screen backwards toward the thick padding. 10:01 Yes, you are correct when saying that is for luggage and it works great for that. 10:09 You are correct again when saying that is for clutching the bag. However, for me it is not that ideal for me because it does tie up one of my hands. This causes me to use the shoulder strap so I just use the shoulder strap at all times. 11:35 The deck is a better fit it you turn it backwards. The padding helps to keep the sticks free. 14:26 Put in the Vita and the two cartridge card holders which can fit Vita cartridges as well

Great video man! would you recommend using the SD bag for the Aokzoe A1 pro? I bought the new waterfield SD magnetic case, but its already just too tight of a fit when testing it out with my switch and my power bank together( dont have a1 pro yet). If i do decide to buy this case, ill have the a1 pro, power bank (about the size of a nintendo ds xl), a standard size usb hub, a baseus power brick, and some cables. Im thinking all of it would probably fit rather comfortably, but just wanna ask you because watched your a1 pro review and maybe you've slipped it in this particular case haha

I actually recently used this case on my wedding trip to Hawaii! Although I didn't use it for a steam deck, instead it was used to carry my Nintendo Switch but with the NYXI Athena joy-cons attached. One thing I found was that the protection was actually better if you flipped the device the opposite way from how you put your steam deck in. Even with the device facing the back the thumb sticks hardly touched the back of the case, the screen had more padding for extra protection, and the grips fit perfectly into the W of the case divider. With the switch in this way I found I could still fit a lot in the case namely; A switch pro controller, an official charging brick, a cartridge/SD card case, and a mini dock with HDMI cable. All in the main compartment. I also even had two of my prescription bottles in there for easy access when traveling. While having room to spare still! The reason for the Steam Deck case instead of the switch one was for the fact that the same made case "for switch" was actually SMALLER dimension wise than the steam deck one. I bought this specific Steam Deck one because I couldn't even find the large one for the switch that you showed in the video over a month ago when I was looking. They only had the small Switch one in the same style and the larger Steam Deck one. 11/10 I would recommend this case to use with a Switch if you have bigger joy-cons like the NYXI ones, or even the official Hori split pad ones. Thanks for the amazing content though Russ! Love your videos! :D

this is a good review of practical features, but you also need to talk about theft security. for this, you need to perform a destructive "razor test". with bags you carry out of your own view, thieves will open em with a razor. you will not feel it, you will not hear it. that's why such bags need to be made out of material that is hard to cut with a razor. and the only way to know is to try.

Disagree with you on the original case. The one from JSAUX is better. I'm surprised you never mentioned it because it's so close to the one that came with the Steam Deck but allows you to carry your charger and a couple other accessories (small case with other micro SD cards, etc.) Inside the case. That's what I use most of the time and also have a larger hard carry case with a handle and strap (from Amazon) that I keep two controllers controllers, a dock, and other accessories in for taking to a buddy's place or longer trips. Sorry, but not a fan of that purse....I mean bag. Keep up the great videos though dude.

Pairing with that case with that larger switch tomtoc bag might be a good option as well to protect the joysticks

Anyone have any suggestions for a case that fits appropriately for a RG353M? Anbernic's cases allow to much room for the device to slide around and I can't find anything that fits snugly and feels like it protects the device properly. As for this bag, I LOVE the price and I'll definitely be considering buying one. Right now, I just use the Steam deck case in side of a backpack so another dedicated bag just doesn't work for my use case. This would be the kind of thing where I would primarily want to transport my SteamDeck (and accessories) but not really need to worry about bringing along other resources for my day. I just don't have those kinds of trips when I leave the house. For instance, If I"m going to the mechanic to have my car fixed, I'll either bring the steam deck in its case or all bring the back pack with the Steamdeck (in its case) so I can bring along a snack, another device, a drink, a sweatshirt/hat,... You get the idea...

Russ, you gotta try it with the screen against that padding on the back. The photos show what you did but they have illustrations showing the grips pointing into the “W” and the joysticks pointing into the back. If I had to guess; the photos are influenced by people who worried about the joysticks being damaged. Which I don’t think is a concern. Can you show the switch bag with the steam deck with the screen pointing back? Please do a short!

The one thing I don't like about a standard bag coming with devices is that people can easily know that you are carrying that electronic, and thus become a target for theft. So a lot of the time I prefer some bag that isn't as standard or obvious to avoid people recognizing what I am carrying. Same reason I don't actually use a camera bag for my camera, I use a backpack with special inserts instead.
