So I definitely want to get a silicon skin for my steamdeck, and the dbrand skin didn’t seem too spectacular when compared to other, generic skins from amazon. Had anyone tried the dbrand skin, and perhaps other skins, and noticed any particular difference? Apparently putting the dbrand skin requires an adapter if you want to mount the steam deck to a dock, which sucks… but will installing any skin cause the steam deck to be unmountable? Thanks for your insight!

    If your talking about the killswitch case I’d say it depends. Personally I went with the jsaux modcase and have been really enjoying it. It was only $30 and I got it in two days from Amazon. The killswitch I couldn’t justify because it would have been $100 to get the front travel cover. Jsaux case also included a dock cover for the official dock so the deck fits into it nicely. Stock cable for the dock also works without any adapters which is nice.

    are you talking about a skin or a shell? becuase a skin would never block it from going into tbe dock but a shell can.

    I have the killswitch , it’s great and has nice grip but is a bit bulky. And you need the adapter for the official dock so it fits. I would say it’s worth it if you don’t mind those two things.

    I also ordered a clear soft tpu case from amazon that’s thinner and lighter so I can see the deck design. Not as high quality as dbrands but fits good and does its job.

    The Killswitch is top quality, but the best part is the travel cover, as you won’t even need a case anymore. Also as mentioned, it comes with an adapter for the dock. Not sure if other cases would include that. So definitely reccomend!

    Can confirm, Killswitch is worth the money and possibly my favorite accessory I’ve bought for an electronic. I really hope they add some more functionality for it!
