Savage Raven by Skull & Co. HardShell Front Cover Bundle for Steam Deck/OLED StandGrip (GripCase） -Black

I was looking for a better option for storing my deck and after a bit of use, I've found this to be the best compared to the other 2 cases I've used (Ali 10$ case, jsaux modcase).The case lacks a kickstand and doesn't cover the rear part of the triggers, but I think it's a good tradeoff. The lack of a kickstand cuts down on weight and while it may not stand up on uneven surfaces like carpet, the fixed angle is great for using it on a table with an external controller or doing work with a keyboard. As for the front part of the case not blocking the triggers, it makes it so much easier compared to other options to take off and put on the front cover.The gripcase is stellar even without the front cover, and you can even use it with the stock carrying case. Even without having any covering around or near the triggers, it still feels surprisingly sturdy. Personally I prefer the deck with the case as it makes it far less awkward to hold and has an added texture for grip. I think the raised volume buttons are easier to access too. The included front cover I think is superior though when the device is carried in a bag - it allows you to charge and doesn't block the top vents either while in standby.Overall, it's a fantastic case and the community is lucky to have a well thought out, high quality case at a good price.

Amazing case. Fits the deck perfectly. Adds a nice grippy feel and the angle it stands on is convenient for charging or tabletop play. The front screen cover slips on easy and offers amazing protection. Paired with the joystick grips and the back buttons and it’s a perfect option for lightweight protection of the steam deck.

This case and faceplate combo was exactly what I was looking for to replace the Mepatem case I was using before. This case from Skull is significantly better imo and worth the additional price in comparison to the Mepatem. I would say this Skull&Co is not only softer but sports way better ergonomics in comparison as well. Plenty of room for back button extensions and joystick caps too.I much prefer this case style as I have a secure bag for work that stays free of most dust/dirt so storing the deck without needing another bag makes a huge difference to me. This is the one.

Easy on and off and has the “slimmest” fit in your carrying bag or backpack.
