    I bought this bag a while back too. I'm in your same boat that the case the deck came with is fantastic but you can't do much else with it. This one allows me to carry everything I'll need. Love it.

      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 this bag and had to return it... thought it is nice, it is not great if you are a minimal traveler like me.
    The Killswitch front cover and compatible grip case is my preferred travel setup since I'm always bringing a backpack.

  • @MrDowntemp0

    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.

  • @Anonymous-ti8yw

    I have that bag for my switch and I love it. It’s the absolute best for an airport because you can toss your phone and battery bank in there. I’ll be buying this one, and using it for times where the main case isn’t enough space.

    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.

  • @MawkDugless

  • @AndrewMalovrh
    @AndrewMalovrh Год назад

    I've had this same bag for many months, and I 100% agree with the need for extra handles on top to easy grab and go.
    When the top is open, it tends to want to hang out more, making me want to either grab both ends of the open zipper or close it and move it.
    Not a big deal in a realistic sense, but would be a major quality of life improvement, moving the bag around the house since I keep all of my great for the SD in it.

  • @loganlin3792
    @loganlin3792 Год назад

    Have used this bag for around one month. Never used the official case since I bought this!
    The problem with the official case is that it's so big to fit in many backpacks. With this bag, at least you have a solution to carry the Deck with you elegantly.

  • @elvimine4745
    @elvimine4745 Год назад +7

    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

    Looks like a really nice bag minus those strap clips, they're sturdy enough, but I've had that kind of clip snag on things and open up on me.
    I'd like to see a work/play combo that tailored to fit a 14-15" laptop, a deck, and all the associated accessories. The factory case is a little thick to fit in a laptop bag.

  • @TheTekSone

    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

    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.

    I’ve had this case for several months and you can actually fit the steam deck with the killswitch case with travel cover in it perfectly (although it fits even better if you put it in facing backwards)
    Killswitch + tomtoc bag is for sure an endgame steam deck travel setup, tons of protection and room for accessories.
    Pairing with that case with that larger switch tomtoc bag might be a good option as well to protect the joysticks

  • @GraphicalRanger

    Got this case recently in the UK, ir was on a really good deal an had an eye on it for a while. Also have a tpu case with kickstand on the Steam Deck so it snug but fits well. Great case to keep all accessories together.
    May mod it with metal carabiners and possibly add a strap...

    WOW, I have one of those Tomtoc cases as well, that I bought for the Switch Lite that I never actually got because I opted for the Deck instead. But I loved the design and look of the case, so I guess I'll sell the Lite one I have, and get the slim version for the deck. It's out of stock currently, so hopefully it restocks at some point, as these cases are great.

  • @subiesojourner777
    @subiesojourner777 Год назад

    I purchased one of these cases shortly after getting my Steam Deck and It's a very well made protective case that holds just about everything you might have for your deck. The only downside is if you happen to have a silicon case on your SD, hopefully it's a thin one.

    That strap on the back is for grab and go, the actual shoulder strap loops are on the sides under the zippers. They’re really small, but all the recent RUclips reviews I’ve seen, people are using that back strap as the shoulder strap loops. I think the loops are there just to remove stress from pressing the analogue triggers inside the bag if that makes sense.

    • @RetroGameCorps
      @RetroGameCorps  Год назад

      Hi Giles, I thought the same thing at first, but the carabiners do not fit inside those small loops under the zippers. I believe those are for adding little accessories to the bag, like what is popular in Asia.

    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!

    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
