I use the JSAUX one, very easy to take it off from the SD The kick stand kinda remind me of Nintendo switch V.1 but this one has wider angle so it's actually pretty solid supporting the SD.
Totally gettin ' the ProCase. The front cover is perfect for throwing in a bag with a playlist runnin'. Awesome for extensive bus rides. It even has the USB still open so I could still use my Nreal Air.
I can see the flap on the second case be useful to use at home. It could make it just a little bit easier to quickly pick it up from the nightstand and resume playing, instead of having to get it out of a larger case, while keeping some protection on the front. If the Deck still fits into it's regular case when the backside is on, you could still use that for traveling for better protection.
I own the third case with the kickstand, it's a very good choice. The back bumper pads were something I didn't think I needed but they feel awesome. I did dremel out the bottom for the SD card slot so I don't have to remove the case to swap them.
JSAUX: I've heard other reviewers saying "jay-so" as if it's French, but I like "jay-socks" much more, since the company was most likely thinking about the word "auxiliary".
I have a case that I managed to get in Singapore that I've not seen a video about, its really good and doesn't seem to sell in the USA. But its like the Jsaux with a better stand, more coverage at the shoulder buttons and prettier
I have the official steam deck dock and I'm pissed cause I feel I can't take advantage of all the nice cases because of the inconvenience of always having to take the case off to use the dock
It may sound like common sense but just take a razor blade and alter the cases for what you need. You need a bigger space for your dongle to fit in? Gently cut the space out a little bigger. I did it to mine it took 30 seconds and you would never know the difference.
I got the GUSSLM brand case, and I was so confused at first why all of the reviews were for The Beatles White Album and a Harry Potter book in what I assume is Portuguese, and it tuns out those two items are "alternate colors" *So be careful*
Do any of the hard case covers fit in the original case the deck came in? Because then you can never put away the console and its always exposed. If you have to choose between no cover and original case or cover but now it doesn’t fit in the original case then that really sucks.
@@Leon-pq6cw hmm that's weird, I use the Jsaux one too and it still fit in the original bag. A bit tight sure but I can still close the bag without any effort.
@@chariothe9013 I already bought v.1 of the jsux stand now they are releasing a v2 with sd card reader. Wish the stand was detachable like on the switch because it's going to snap 100%
Put the names of the cases into chapters or at least on screen. It's hard to tell which is which. Also, you don't need an extension cable, just get a tiny extension adapter. I've no idea why anyone would use wireless headphones for gaming due to sound delay, but you do you.
@@1UpNerdcore there's always a delay, it's just may be small to notice on some models. It's impossible for wireless headphones to not have any delay. You just must be playing sloggy games that don't require any skill, like horizon, witcher or God of War or something, where you press a button and the character leaps towards the target doing all the action on its own. Try playing a skill based game that requires precision for a change and see.
I'm fairly perplexed as to why you don't install these cases Top First, Bottom Second, but the other way around. I've had similar cases on the Nintendo Switch which I found was easier when you started with the Top of the device cause the IO often snags more
All of these are pretty poorly designed imo. The Jsaux seemed like it was close but it could definitely use some more time in the engineering department. I'm surprised they added a kickstand without a tensioned hinge. Phone cases have had them for years and that's the way to go if you're going to use a kickstand.
@@imstupidbut I checked my Amazon purchases and I paid $19.99. I wouldn't say that $25 is expensive though. Especially for something that's helping protect a $500ish PC.

Always put it in shoulder buttons first. Lol. You’re going to pop your buttons off
on god i said the same thing
I screamed at my screen how he puts on these cases...
Anxiety is real.
Not sure what to think of a guy who can't put cases on and appears to have done zero prep. Good luck to his subs!
A few of the cases I've tried you have to put the grip/ bottom part in first and then the top. I don't think it's necessarily a choice

1:36 Usually, you have to fit the triggers first on that type of cases so they won't get damage.
Tnx for this review. The usb c port thing, is actually what I wanted to know. What a shame for the Mizzkly. It's the nicest looking, for me.
That flight to Maui sucks and I flew out of Sacramento. Like 5 hrs but feels like 8. Wish I had a steam deck back then.
I have a Unicorn Beetle case. I love it.
For the price of all of those cases you could’ve gotten one dbrand killswitch. That’s the case I have and it’s the best SteamDeck case money can buy.
Thanks man! The best Deck Case review on youtube.
Glad you enjoyed it!

just get a c to c cable extender
I got the supcase with the kickstand but I’m returning it for the jsaux mod case. Whenever they ship that out.
Thanks got the kickstand one!
Awesome reviews man, thank you so much, as a new Steam Deck owner this is just what I was looking for!!!
🙏🏼
I've got the Benazcap hard case with kick stand (not the silicon case like yours) and I'm really hapopy with it.
Good review! Just be mindful not all usb type c cables connect the same since some have longer head than others. You might need an adapter

Get a case I dropped my brand new steam deck 512gb model day 2 and broke the buttons lol luckily steam repaired it.

6:30 Don’t magnets ruin screens? Can the magnet possibly damage the steam deck?
The screen is lcd not oled
Do any of the hard case covers fit in the original case the deck came in? Because then you can never put away the console and its always exposed.
If you have to choose between no cover and original case or cover but now it doesn’t fit in the original case then that really sucks.
Between GUSSLM and JSAUX, which one is lighter in weight?
Do the cases afects thermal performance?
The pro case was my favorite tbh but ofc the upgraded one doesn't ship to my country...
I bought a silicone case with kick stand it broke never again hate silicone cases
Can you still fit the deck in the official case with any of these still on?
You can with all of the cases it’s just a tight fit
@@1UpNerdcore I have bought the jsaux one and with that on my deck doesn't fit in her original bag/case anymore
@@Leon-pq6cw hmm that's weird, I use the Jsaux one too and it still fit in the original bag.
A bit tight sure but I can still close the bag without any effort.
I'm still looking for one with a micro sd holster.
I remember some case(Jsaux's or Killswitch i'm not sure)with kickstand has sd card storage in their kickstand
@@chariothe9013 I already bought v.1 of the jsux stand now they are releasing a v2 with sd card reader. Wish the stand was detachable like on the switch because it's going to snap 100%
Your wireless headphone dongle should have come with an little extender. Mine came with one. Steelcase
I’m using the Razer barracuda x
can't find a pro case anywhere mind helping me?
Hi.Can you tell us which case fit in to original valve steam deck case.For me it's most important thing.
I'm especially interested about third case from your film.Does it fit to original valve?
These all should fit 👍🏻
@@1UpNerdcore Ok.Thanks
can you setup and use the Steam Deck to work like/as an ELGATO Stream Deck?
Not to my knowledge but I’m sure some people have nodded it to do that
get something with a kick stand or you're just not doing it right!

There isn’t a delay on wireless headphone I’ve reviewed many of them and that’s never an issue. An adapter or extension cable would work.

It’s partly due to how I have to sit and orient my body to get this on camera.
How to destroy your deck this should be the caption😊

Do you really need a case?
If you don’t want it to break if you accidentally drop it 👍🏻
Spigen grip is best grip.
Jsaux Jsux.

@@iyeetpaste3797 is it worth it
or should i get one with a stand instead
@@imstupidbut One with a dock?
I think it's worth it. It's better than the number of others out there.
@@iyeetpaste3797 sorry, i meant should i get one with a stand instead?
my brother with a nintendo switch oled seems to use his stand a lot
