I’m interested in hearing both about if you still use the default carrying case that comes with the deck, and if you use any kind of protective clip-on case such as the Killswitch, JSAUX Modcase, or other.
I just use the default case for the most part. I have a third party case from Amazon with a larger internal storage compartment I use when traveling as I can fit a battery bank, bluetooth earbuds, and extra cables in it.
I bought and love the Tomtoc carrying pack which has enough space for earbuds, charger, and cable but isn’t onerous in size. Highly recommend it.
Edit to add that the pack is soft so if not stuffed full it takes up less space than some of the marketing photos suggest. Also it’s nice because it has a stiff, padded baffle inside that is made to fit over the screen and controls to protect them from getting smushed despite the soft pack.
I recently swapped out the spiggen protective case for a JSAUX modcase after getting to try-out the feel of someone else’s modcase. I had always been envious of the clip on front cover, and the hands on experience showed me that it was a lot more comfortable in the hands than the Spigen case.
I’m still using the original travel case that came with my deck as well, although for the modcase deck to fit inside it I have to remove the front cover and kickstand from the back.

I wanted something slim and light, so I got the Waterfield Magnetic Case (in all waxed canvas). Keep my Steam Deck in there any time I’m not using it.
I use this hard case (black version). No regrets.
