USA-made hardwood hard case

This wooden Steam Deck travel case is a hard case cut from solid hard maple or American black walnut, 15 by 6 by 2.25 inches closed, with a felt-lined cavity shaped to the Steam Deck and a second cavity for the factory charging block and cable. A pass-through channel in the case wall lets the Deck charge with the lid shut, and the closed case lets air through, so the handheld keeps cooling itself as it charges. Solid brass hinges, a mechanical tension latch, and a hand-rubbed oil finish. Fits every Steam Deck model, LCD and OLED. Made in the USA in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

Cut to fit the Steam Deck

Seven hand-cut felt pieces hold the Steam Deck at its edges, so nothing touches the screen and the console sits still in the cavity. The pocket is cut to the Deck's own outline, with recesses at the lift points so it comes out without prying. LCD and OLED share the same body, so every model fits the same way. The factory charging block and cable have their own cavity beside it.

Charges with the lid shut

A channel through the case wall carries the charging cable in, so the Steam Deck charges inside the closed case on a desk or a nightstand. Air passes through the closed case too, so the handheld can keep cooling itself while it charges, and because this is a rigid hard case rather than a zipped pouch, nothing collapses against it. It can charge closed as long as it is not running games.

Charger on board, latch that holds

The factory charging block and cable ride in their own cavity, so the Deck comes out to play and the charger stays where you can find it. The cavity is designed for the 1.5-meter cable, and the 2.5-meter cable can also be accommodated with tighter winding. Two solid brass hinges carry the lid, and a mechanical tension latch made in America by our sister company, Kineo Mountain Engineering, holds it shut under load with no magnets to weaken.

Frequently asked questions

Does it fit the Steam Deck OLED and the LCD model?
Yes. Every Steam Deck model fits. The LCD and OLED versions share the same body, and the cavity is cut to it.
Does it fit a Steam Deck with a skin, a shell, or a screen protector on?
It fits with a skin on, but not with a protective shell, so take a shell off before the Deck goes in. Most standard screen protectors are fine.
Can the Steam Deck charge with the case closed?
Yes, as long as it is not running games. A pass-through channel in the case wall carries the charging cable to the console, so it charges with the lid shut.
Does the Steam Deck get airflow while charging in the closed case?
Yes. Air passes through the case with the lid shut, so the Steam Deck can keep cooling itself during a charge. Charge it closed only when it is not running games, because games make far more heat than charging does.
Will the charger fit inside?
Yes. The factory charging block and cable have their own cavity, designed for the 1.5-meter cable. The 2.5-meter cable can also be accommodated with tighter winding, and a third-party charger with a cable of 5 feet or less fits as well.
Is it a hard case or a skin?
A hard case. It is a hinged travel case made of solid hardwood, not a veneer skin or a replacement shell. The Steam Deck sits inside on seven hand-cut felt pieces that hold it at its edges and keep the screen untouched.
How is it different from a zippered EVA case?
This one is solid hardwood, not molded foam or fabric: a rigid hinged case with two solid brass hinges and a mechanical latch where a zipper would be. It carries the factory charger in its own cavity and lets the Steam Deck charge with the lid shut while air passes through.
How does the case stay closed?
The lid closes on a mechanical tension latch that engages positively and holds under load, made in America by Kineo Mountain Engineering. There are no magnets to weaken. Two solid brass hinges carry the lid.
Do you make this case for the Nintendo Switch 2?
Yes. The wooden Nintendo Switch 2 carrying case is a separate case with a cavity cut for the Switch 2, fifteen game card slots, and room for its charger.
Can I get it engraved?
Yes, on request. Contact us before you order and we will confirm the design and placement.
Which wood should I pick, maple or walnut?
The two cases are identical apart from the wood. Hard maple is pale with a fine, even grain. American black walnut is deep brown with darker streaks, and it is the higher-priced option.
Does it come with the Steam Deck or a charger?
No. This is the case only. The Steam Deck, charging block, and cable are not included.
How heavy is the Steam Deck case?
About 3 pounds, whether you choose maple or walnut.
How long until it ships?
It ships within 3 to 5 days of your order. The shipping policy covers rates and delivery.
How do I care for the wood?
Wipe it down with a soft cloth, dry or barely damp. Keep it away from standing water and direct heat, and skip soap or cleaners; they strip the oil finish.
Is this Steam Deck case made in the USA?
Yes. It is made in the USA: cut, lined, and finished in Colorado Springs, Colorado, from American hard maple or American black walnut, with a latch made in America by Kineo Mountain Engineering.
