Types and differences of genuine Steam Deck carrying cases

Steam Deck comes standard with a genuine carrying case.

The Steam Deck comes with a genuine carrying case, which is optimized for the size of the Steam Deck and has a high quality feel that has been well received by users.

Since the carrying case comes standard, there is little advantage to purchasing a third-party case, but since the genuine carrying case is not sold individually, it would be a good idea to have one as a replacement.

There are two types of genuine Steam Deck carrying cases

There are two types of genuine Steam Deck carrying cases: a carrying case for the 64GB and 256GB models, and a "limited carrying case" for the 512GB model. The difference is in the surface finish, etc., but there is no functional difference.

Carrying case exclusive to Steam Deck 512GB model

A genuine carrying case is awaited.

We do not know how many users carry their Steam Deck outside, but the carrying case is meant to protect the Steam Deck itself, and there is a possibility that it may get dirty or torn.

It would be convenient to have a replacement in such cases, so it would be great if the company would consider selling the official carrying case as a stand-alone item.
