I have both the Modcase and the Killswitch. I agree that in terms of raw materials, the Killswitch is more premium feeling and the cover is a more secure fit, but for me that’s where it stops. As a person with bigger hands, the Modcase grips still feel better to hold, the stand on the Modcase is way better, the Modcase has more functionality, and the clear back makes good for a rear skin or backplate
@@OC.TINYYY I share some of your thoughts, but imo, the Modcase is the better of the two especially when you start to consider value. The Killswitch isn’t perfect either. The cover is more secure, but it’s like setting a mouse trap to get it on and off. The kickstand is just ok, with no other practical uses like attaching a battery bank that you get with the Modcase. And not to mention you get all of this at more than twice the cost. For some it’s still worth it, but not for me.
No you’re spot on with the Jsaux case not fitting correctly. I reached out to customer support received a replacement and it had the same issue. They just fumbled with this one unfortunately but I love my Steamdeck case. It would have been nice if Dbrand made the stand modular though.
I’m very happy with my mod case purchase. But 128kb channel just released first review of the skull and co ally x case. He seems to think it is the best and only $18 but no cover like on mod case. I think you get the most from the mod case and I haven’t held the killswitch but the mod case feels snug and grippy to me. It impresses me because the whole device feels even more compact. Plus kickstand is better, and I use the battery pack attachment a lot especially at airports, airplanes, or in the backseat on vacation… etc. I don’t see how the killswitch could be worth it at like 45-50 dollars more and some things are still a little worse than the mod case. Also, Jsaux is releasing their hdmi 2.1 dock with Ethernet later this month and I think I’m getting one of those too. Would love to see a review.
I have Jsaux and skull & co case. I use if for different condition. If I stay at home, then I prefer to use skull & co case. Because it is lightweight and grip so nice. If I go traveling, I would prefer to take the Jsaux because it is more secure.
What is with the obsession with "premium" garbage? Who cares what the box is like, you're throwing it away 2 seconds later. Make a cheaper box and charge less.
I tend to keep all of my nicer items boxes. That way if I decide to upgrade within 5 or 6 months I can sell the item in the box and it usually gets 25% higher sale price.
Im not gonna get the killswitch because i need the strap of the mod case to hold the external drive for my modded Oculink Ally x, the top part of the mod case definitely dont fit well at all, i tried to use a hair dryer to heat it and then blast with 16c air con whie holding it tightly untill completely cooled down, didn't work at all.... However quality is quite good so its fine
I have the killswitch and the skull and co grip case. The killswitch is .uch much better its actually premium it really hugs the device keeping it secure. The skull and co feels nice to hold but flaps all over the top lip and sides. Killswitch is the best case.
Ppl had comlains about both mod ase and kill switch of defective tops or cases and in both cases got replacement free of charge will suggest you do the same on mod case you have nothing to lose
@@ChillyDawg-KP nothing has replaced the Kun as my favorite yet. The only thing I see beating it is a "Kun 2" that has all the same features but adds OLED 120HZ, and the new AMD processor. Ally X is no where near as comfortable to hold and only gets 9min more battery life.
@@ChillyDawg-KP when I play on the Ally X I have to give up a much larger screen, much better ergonomics, 2 track pads, an extra USB port, downgrade one of my USB 4.0 ports, and no built in LTE just to say I'm playing at 120hz when 95% of the games I play never get close to 120hz 🤷🏽♂️
@@BarelyAverageDude awesome thank you. I finally found one for purchase and it’s on the way. Where did you find the grip tape for it and any other accessories you would recommend?
Nothing wrong with the mod case fitting! I have one and it fits perfectly. I think you must have a dud. My top plate snapped right on and fits snugly. 70 for a case is not a deal. 30 is more reasonable. The fitting of the case is excellent as well. Don’t know why yours isn’t fitting. Killswitch paying you 🤣
@@BarelyAverageDude yeah i seen a guy made one that looks pretty sick on etsy it like wraps around the controllers to keep the front protector on n in place im thinking about getting one i want a front case that i can throw on when i put it in my tomtoc bag i kinda sketch just throwing the go in there with no real protectoion kinda thing
Stickers are junk....they got the buttons stuck on my ally. Also the skin kinda rips off when you push the case on. Dbrand case is a YES .....stickers are junk.
@@liviup6660 You should contact them if it was wrong. Mine were a perfect cut. The problem with perfect cuts however is that you have to put them on perfectly, so I still think you just did it wrong, but if not, contact them. Their customer service is actually dope.

Mod case fit is terrible. The top lip is just plain bad & the travel cover isn't flush. Poor QC.

My travel case fits perfectly fine.

Skull & Co. case for $16 can’t beat it
@@BigPaco213 I love the grip case, but I need that travel cover. With skull & Co you still need another case for your case 😅🤷🏽♂️
It’s actually 32 with the actual case.
Absolutely. For the money. Andz it still fits in a travel pouch! (RL Soco)
@@BarelyAverageDudewell, whats wrong sith that? You really gonna roam with JUST a dbrand case? Bruh...
@@BlueshellGamer yeah. (Or the mod case for the Steam deck)
What are those thumb grips? That's what I need!!
@@nyghtemxre amzn.to/3OuPy
Skull n Co convex stick grips.
Is the Killswitch case kickstand removable? I have the Killswitch case for the Steamdeck and I am able to remove the kickstand.
No, it is not removable.
Ppl had comlains about both mod ase and kill switch of defective tops or cases and in both cases got replacement free of charge will suggest you do the same on mod case you have nothing to lose
Which one has a bigger palm swell for big hands?
I think Mod case is slightly more comfortable for larger hands
@BarelyAverageDude Thank you for the quick response
If you had the choice now would you pick the ROG Ally X over the Ayaneo Kun?
No.

Do you have the link?
Skull & Co.
I haven't gotten mine yet, I'm really looking forward to it though.
@@7MBoostedfits like shit sent mine back
@mindless9965 mine arrived yesterday, so far I haven't had any issues. Sorry yours didn't fit well.
@@mindless9965 you must be confusing the JSAUX's case with the Skull& Co. No way the Skull & Co fits bad. I'm calling bull💩
@@VeegovonDOOM top of it is way to lose when you put it on you will see
You spending 800 on a handheld you better get premium protection IMO.

Sounds like user error, and a skill issue. I have skin on mine with none of those issues.
@@munamahmed291 whatever dude. How is it user error when cutouts are too tight??? Go on explain hotshot!🤠🤠🤠
@munamahmed291 Yeah I was gonna say the same. The skins I had were awesome, but I also know how to put them on.
