Love the case, and the design is second to none. Ended up returning it simply because the bulk of its physical size was far more than my slimmer case which I had purchased this to replace. I suppose that's the tradeoff for superior aesthetics. So my point reduced is not really to do with the quality of the product itself, but just a circumstance of it not being exactly what I needed. It's really a beautiful product in hand though.
If I can offer one critique of it though, I wish the buttons snapped easier. The magnets easily catch when you close the flap, but to securely snap the toggles closed, it often takes a second or two of hunting around for their perfect alignment. The case comes with a card that instructs you to move the leather around a bit so that it loosens up and says that in time the snaps will attach easier, but I do question why their placement couldn't have just been sewn exactly right to begin with. But what do I know about leather? Nothing. So take my opinion with a grain of salt. I only wish this one aspect was a little bit improved because it adds a bit of friction to the experience and reduces the overall satisfaction and tactile joy of using it.
Awesome product as usual. Beautiful craftsmanship and supurb quality of materials.
This is the ultimate carry case for the SteamDeck!
I have a smaller version of this case for my (Original) Nintendo Switch that I’ve had for years and love. I’m glad this version is available for the SteamDeck again. The system fits well inside even with a dbrand “Kill Switch” grip case attached. This might seem a little expensive, but the quality and craftsmanship is legitimately top tier and premium.

NATURAL FULL GRAIN LEATHER
No skimping here. The CitySlicker flap is made of two layers of premium full grain leather. It gets softer and better-looking with each use.
“I spend most times just smelling this case because of that rich leather right on the front. The quality and craftsmanship is unparalleled, especially in this cookie-cutter and mass-produced world we live in.”
- Matthew B., New York, USA
SUPER EASY ADJUSTABLE SLING STRAP
Personalize your CitySlicker with a matching Sling Strap. The leather tab on the strap comes in the same color as your CitySlicker flap to complement your case. The strap has an easy, one-hand adjustable cam lock so you can fit your CitySlicker without taking it off your shoulder.
THE PROFESSIONALS' TOP CHOICE
“As both a business professional and gaming enthusiast, it's often through gritted teeth that I pick out case accessories for my handheld consoles. Too often the only options available seem to be designed exclusively for the young teenage audience, with an over-emphasis on loud colors and tacky aesthetics.
Enter WaterField. These are easily the most professional and sleek-looking cases I have seen for gaming equipment, and I no longer have any hesitation to bring my Switch with me in a questionably designed case.
- Blake B.
