UYIYE Kickstand Case for Steam Deck - Protective and Reliable Accessory with Stand Function

Absolutely fantastic, the kickstand isn’t perfect but if you’re just using to prop it up to charge it or use with a Bluetooth keyboard like me then it’s fine. My only complaint is how do you take it off? There’s no indication of how and I’m actually afraid of damaging the Deck trying to get this damn thing off, other than that solid case, 8/10

White/Red model.This obviously looks amazing. The stand is obviously useful. But that's where things stop going right.The main issue is that the xyab buttons and dpad are too recessed now. They now take more intention and more accuracy to hit properly, especially when it comes to sidecrolling titles that rely heavily on accurate button and dpad presses. You can no longer tap the corner of a dpad direction and expect input response. I honestly had to take the case off. It's sad but what we need are just custom replacement shells. Or, someone (this company maybe) needs to create extended buttons and dpad that stick out further. They claim .8mm thick, but I think that's per layer and there are two layers in some places, and thicker areas all over. I'd estimate the thickness of this case is well over 1mm in most areas. Hated to have to remove it, but without taller buttons and dpad, this thing is a flop for me, other than the aesthetic. The plastic has a cheap untextured appearance.I haven't played with it enough to know if the PU leather would die your hands red after a long session, but that's something I'd look out for if I played with it longer.The stand seems to work well enough, but seems like it could easily break or loosen up and fall over. It's a little hard to open it but not terrible.Easy to put on. Tough to get off. I wouldn't trust these plastic snaps repeatedly, but after 2 installations, they are still holding.I'd give it a 2.5 star rating. Because on one hand, it looks cool. But on the other hand, I can't use it.

Feels robust and protective of the Deck. Buttons are a bit recessed though, which is going to make you lose the "feel" of them and you'll be less subtle when playing. This does not bother me much, but the design blocks the cable and does not allow for the USB-C cable from the official Steam Docking Station to be plugged. That's annoying. Someone overlooked big time with that.

Fits really well and would have kept it but once you put it on, it does not want to come off very easily.

Product fits firmly over my steamdeck and protects my device from any scratches and falls. It does not protect the screen. Plus it looks cool and the grips provide a firm grasp. Which helps cause I am not good at gaming so I have a tendency to have sweaty palms from fear of loosing.
