Spigen Rugged Armor Case Compatible with Steam Deck LCD (2022) / Steam Deck OLED (2023) - Matte Black

I wanted something which would attach a lanyard to my new Steam Deck OLED but I wanted a case that still fitted inside the original carry case. I had a choice between this one and the Spiegen thin fit case. I've used Spiegen cases on my phone before and they have always been great. I would describe the case as rigid with some give. It's not a snap-together hard case, but one you have to push the deck into. It fits very snugly and adds about 3mm to the thickness of the desk at each edge. This gives you a thicker grip to hold without it being unwieldy. The cut-outs are all exactly placed and were not rough or sharp on my case. The deck and case together fit inside the Valve case without issue. I could zip up the outer case and the sticks do not appear to push against the case lid. The lanyard fits through two very small holes on the right edge of the case. It's a bit fiddly to get through, but once in, the lanyard offers more protection from slips and drops. It's also slightly elastic so the deck would bounce rather than jolt if it was dropped. All buttons and sticks are still reachable and I've not detected any increase in fan noise caused by heat - the existing vents are well exposed so there should be no drop in airflow. Really pleased with this case.

Solid case that feels good to grip on, comfortable to hold and gives the impression of high quality. It’s not your cheap rubber plastic case, it’s rather hard. Note for others, it just about fits in the original steam deck travel case. However, when adding the strap, it won’t fit anymore.

The Spigen Rugged Armor Case is an excellent choice for protecting your Steam Deck. It is made of high-quality, shock-absorbing materials that provide excellent protection against drops and impacts. The case also has a slim design that does not add any unnecessary bulk to your device, making it easy to carry around. One of the standout features of the Spigen Rugged Armor Case is its precise cutouts, which allow easy access to all of the buttons, ports, and features of your Steam Deck. The case also has a raised bezel around the screen, which helps to protect it from scratches and cracks when placed face down. Overall, the Spigen Rugged Armor Case is a reliable and stylish choice for protecting your Steam Deck. Its durable materials and slim design make it a top pick for anyone looking to keep their device safe from damage

Easy to use and fits steam deck well. Looks good and helps protect deck well. Can make it difficult to use other accessories aswell.

An excellent case, fits easily and tightly. Doesn't interfere with buttons. cooling or thermals as it has appropriate gaps for all of these. The case is durable and grippy, you will not be scratching or damaging the plastic shell of your Steam Deck at least from the back once this is on. Comes with a wrist strap if you'd like to install that on the corner. Highly recommend!

Listen, if you're like me, you take your Steam Deck everywhere you go - to the park, the shops, your grandma's bingo night. And let's face it, accidents happen. That's why you need the Spigen Rugged Armor Case. This case is tougher than a cowboy at a rodeo, stronger than a linebacker in the Super Bowl, and more durable than your last relationship. The matte black finish gives your Steam Deck a sleek and stylish look, while the shock-absorbing technology protects it from even the most reckless falls. You could probably throw this thing off a building, and it would still be intact (though I wouldn't recommend testing that theory). But wait, there's more! The Spigen Rugged Armor Case also comes with a built-in coffee maker, a personal assistant, and a magical unicorn that grants wishes (okay, I made those last two up, but you get the point). This is the case for you if you want to keep your Steam Deck safe and sound. Don't blame me if you carry it around everywhere you go just because you love it so much.

This fits the steam deck perfectly. All the holes are cut in the right place. It doesn't add a lot of bulk to it at all, all the buttons are accessible, and it comes with a wrist strap which makes the steam deck feel safer in my hands. I'm very pleased with it.

This is easily my favourite case/shell for the steam deck. Fits both the OG model and Oled. Its strong and feels good to the touch. I wish they did more color variations however to truly customise the deck in Spiegen style.

Sehr gute Hülle, die perfekt passt und einen guten Schutz bietet. Nach einer gewissen Zeit habe ich vergessen, dass ich sie überhaupt dran habe. Ich finde das Handling des Steam Deck mit der Hülle besser, weil es etwas dicker wird und besser in der Hand liegt. Für mich war ein wichtiger Punkt, dass das Deck auch mit Hülle noch in die Original Tasche passt, was der Fall ist. So muss man keine neue Aufbewahrungstasche kaufen, wenn man nicht möchte. Ich habe die Hülle seit vielen Monaten in Gebrauch und sie wirkt immer noch wie am ersten Tag, keinerlei Verschleiß- oder Ermüdungserscheinungen. Klare Weiterempfehlung.

Es cómodo resistente y ligero.

Provengo da 2 cover "cinesate" simil low cost (che tanto low cost non sono, dato che costano qualche euro in meno) del quale lamentavo un pochino la qualità dei materiali, ed il feeling generale del dispositivo che "perdeva" la qualità che merita. Qui ci troviamo di fronte a un prodotto super, con un silicone soft touch che è una meraviglia da toccare, ha una finitura opaca meravigliosa, ed i tagli dei bordi sono pressochè perfetti. All'interno della confezione anche un laccetto, che ci permette di assicurare il dispositivo al polso quando siamo in giro, e cosa da non trascurare, il laccetto con un po' di accortezza si può montare anche senza rimuovere la cover. Anche i fori sul lato superiore sono perfetti, tra l'altro troviamo un ampio spazio vuoto attorno alla presa di alimentazione usb-c, che consente senza il minimo problema di installare un connettore a 90° senza che sforzi sulla cover. Attenzione al montaggio! leggere bene sul retro della confezione come fare a montarla. Nelle altre recensioni trovate persone che lamentano il fatto che sia estremamente stretta e che nel montaggio abbiano rotto i tasti posteriori (in particolare L1 R1 o rovinato i grilletti), ma queste persone di sicuro non hanno letto le istruzioni, in quanto secondo la procedura i tasti non vengono neanche sfiorati. Seguendo le istruzioni il montaggio è immediato e senza il minimo problema: inserite prima la parte superiore del deck dentro la custodia e poi "sforzate" sulla zona inferiore (dove appoggiamo i palmi) per mettere la cover in posizione. Per concludere, la cover che è bella spessa (molto più spessa delle altre cover che ho provato) e che quindi sicuramente assorbe meglio gli eventuali urti, sta perfettamente nella custodia, che si chiude senza sforzare da nessuna parte. Un altro ottimo prodotto da Spigen, da acquistare ad occhi chiusi.

Hey folks, I recently got my hands on the Spigen Rugged Armor Protective Case designed for the Steam Deck, and let me tell you, it’s a solid choice for keeping your Steam Deck safe and looking cool! First off, this case does a great job of protecting your Steam Deck from all the usual bumps and scratches it might encounter during everyday use. It’s made of tough TPU material with reinforced corners, so you can trust that your precious gaming device is well shielded. No need to worry about minor drops or accidental rough handling.

You can easily access everything you need, and the case doesn’t interfere with your gaming experience. Spigen really nailed the design here, making it super user-friendly.

It’s got a sleek and slim profile that doesn’t bulk up your device, so it feels comfortable to hold during those epic gaming marathons. The matte finish not only looks classy but also keeps fingerprints at bay, so your case stays looking fresh. Now, here’s a cool feature - the textured surface. It gives you a better grip, so you won’t have to worry about any accidental slips during intense gaming sessions. Plus, the raised edges around the display give some extra protection against scratches and scuffs when you lay your Steam Deck down. Installing this case is a breeze, my friends. It’s a simple snap-on affair that won’t have you tearing your hair out. You’ll have your Steam Deck all dressed up and ready to go in no time. It’s perfect for those of us who just want to get straight to the gaming action. I do want to mention that if you’re looking for the ultimate heavy-duty case that can handle extreme conditions or if you need something waterproof, this might not be the best fit for you. But for everyday protection with a touch of style, the Spigen Rugged Armor Case does the job well. In conclusion, the Spigen Rugged Armor Protective Case for the Steam Deck is a tough and stylish companion for your gaming adventures. It offers reliable protection, a sleek design, and a user-friendly experience. Keep your Steam Deck safe and rock that cool look with this case!

Sturdy, fits perfectly and feels great in your hands. Only downside is that you can't use the steam case anymore. It's a pain to take the Spigen case off whenever you want to put your deck away, so I just don't use the steam case. If you move around a lot it might not be perfect. The Spigen case is plenty protective, but I wouldn't put it in my bag like that (the controls!).
