Quick answer
The Steam Deck Magnetic Case is a compact, water-resistant solution for travel and storage. Use it to keep your device and charging cord safe, organized, and easy to access.
Why the magnetic closure matters for travel
The magnetic closure lets you squeeze open the case for quick access, which is handy during security checks or when you need to stash the Deck quickly. However, the magnets are strong enough to keep the case closed in a bag, so you don't have to worry about accidental openings.
Water resistance for everyday carry
The case is water-resistant, not waterproof. This means it can handle light rain or a splash from a water bottle, but it shouldn't be submerged. For daily commutes or flights, this level of protection is usually sufficient.
Step-by-step tips for using your Steam Deck Magnetic Case
- 1. Pack the charging cord first: Wrap the charging cord loosely and place it at the bottom of the case, under the plush padding. This keeps it from pressing against the screen or sticks. Common mistake: stuffing the cord on top can scratch the screen.
- 2. Insert the Steam Deck screen-side down: Place the Deck with the screen facing into the padded interior. The magnetic closure will hold it securely once the case is closed. Checkpoint: ensure the sticks aren't pressed against the padding.
- 3. Close the case and test the magnet: Press the two halves together until you feel the magnet engage. Give it a gentle shake to confirm it's secure before putting it in your bag. Common mistake: not fully engaging the magnet can lead to the case opening in transit.
- 4. Store in a dry, cool place when not in use: Avoid leaving the case in direct sunlight or a hot car for extended periods. The water-resistant shell can handle some heat, but prolonged exposure may affect the padding. Checkpoint: if the case feels warm to the touch, move it to a cooler spot.
- 5. Clean the case with a damp cloth: Wipe down the exterior with a slightly damp cloth to remove dust or dirt. Avoid submerging or using harsh cleaners. Common mistake: using abrasive cleaners can damage the water-resistant coating.
