MODERATORS
Do you really need a protective case? I don't ever use my Steam Deck outside. The most dangerous place I used it was with hard flooring at an airport. If I were to drop it, it'd get scuffed at most and already has a screen protector.
I would like to be able to carry my Deck in a backpack full of other things, including on long journeys, hikes, flights and such, without it taking up too much space (as in the factory case) or the risk of it being scratched/damaged by impact from other objects. It may well be robust enough to withstand being jarred against other objects, though it’s better to be safe than sorry.
