With the initial global release of the handheld gaming PC incoming, companies are offering loads of accessories – and one bullet-proof Steam Deck case got our attention.
The new bullet-proof Steam Deck case is made by San Francisco-based company Waterfield, and as mentioned, it includes the same ballistic protection that police regularly use. It’s worth mentioning the case is actually more of a messenger bag, and comes with a regular handle and a sling strap.
While the outside of the case has full-grain leather and comes in a variety of colors and feel, the inside of the hilariously named “Cityslicker” case has ballistic-grade protection nylon lining.
For our international readers, American cities (particularly the west coast ones) have become more dangerous than some warzones, so it makes sense to protect your expensive electronics with bulletproof bags, while also wearing a bulletproof vest yourself.
The Cityslicker comes in a variety of colors as mentioned like black, chocolate brown, white, crimson, and even a “grizzly leather”, just in case you want to bring the great outdoors feel to your local urban hellscape. The inside of the bag also sports slots for microSD cards, and cable storage.
A price for the Cityslicker bullet-proof Steam Deck case wasn’t announced, but their Nintendo Switch bullet-proof case retails for $107 so it will likely be similarly priced when pre-orders go up on February 17th. You can check out the Cityslicker bullet-proof Steam Deck case over on Waterfield’s online store.
Valve’s Steam Deck is available for pre-order in three flavors: $399 (64GB), $529 (256GB), and $649 (512GB), over on the Steam store, and is set to launch on February 25th.
