Thanks for watching! 😃 -Eric

Thanks for checking it out 😃 -Eric

I used it while cycling around Detroit and had no issues with it! 😃 -Eric

Thanks for the suggestion, Tony! I’ll pass it along. -Eric

I've managed to fit a Canon M50 with 11-22 lens, a go pro, wallet, A Samsung S23 Ultra, coin purse, Samsung Buds, keys in this without issue. I did wish there's a back pocket or there's more organization pockets inside.

@@ytwatcher6020 thanks I just got it and is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for watching! Do you keep your Steam Deck in a case when you take it places? -Eric

@@PackHacker2 Yeah, I use the standard case right now but am looking for something slimmer - I really just need to protect it from the rest of the stuff in my bag, so a lightly padded pouch of some kind would be ideal but there's not a lot on the market yet. I might end up just sewing it myself tbh.

Thanks for that info 😀 We get many requests for Steam Deck content, so your insight was helpful! -Eric

@@PackHacker2 long post on the current state of Deck cases from a compact packer's perspective: There really isn't much on the market in terms of truly compact, dedicated cases. dbrand has the Killswitch (a bit heavy, relatively expensive at $75, but by far the most compact for protecting the Deck if you just toss it in your bag), but it's been delayed and isn't available for purchase at the moment. Waterfield has their Pouch (very compact, also expensive at $79) and CitySlicker (a bit larger and fancier, but at $129 I'd consider it more of a luxury item tbh). There's a cheap case with a flip cover on Amazon, but it's pretty much always out of stock and honestly idk if it's worth buying. But it's the only affordable, truly compact option - probably why it's always sold out. Tomtoc makes a dedicated Steam Deck bag, but it's quite large - people seem to like it, and Tomtoc does make quality gear, but it's not a compact option (I'm holding out hope they'll make a case similar to their slim Nintendo Switch cases - my Switch Lite in a slim Tomtoc case is hilariously small next to the Deck + standard case, definitely a better compact travel option if you don't mind the Nintendo tax on the games) If you're using the standard case, the charger will fit behind the elastic at the back and there are 3D printed inserts to hold the charger + a few SD cards that'll fit perfectly in that groove. There are other cases similar to the standard one, but with space for the charger inside - more or less the same bulky size though. And there's a 3D printed clip-on screen protector on Etsy, but that'll leave the sticks and buttons exposed (there are little protectors for the sticks too, but that feels like an impractical solution to me - too many small bits that are easily lost). The Deck is a bit of an odd size, all the "normal" bags and pouches I find tend to be either too short or much larger in at least one direction. The dbrand Killswitch is hands down the best compact option if you, like me, don't need a case that'll also fit accessories, but it'll probably be a good couple of months before it's available for purchase again.

Wow, thanks for such detailed information! We’ll definitely be looking into a few of your recommendations. It seems like more and more gear will come as time rolls onward, but sometimes it takes longer than we’d like. Again, thank you for your detailed insights on Steam Deck cases and bags; you’ve been a great help! -Eric

I just put a 40oz slim trail series hydro flask inside this. Granted if you put something that large inside, everything else would need to be soft or bendable but it very easily fits a 32oz or 24oz trail series hydro flask or equivalent bottles. Best part is. Zippers we’re not an issue at all, zipped without much effort.
