[Discussion] What kind of protective and carrying cases do you use for your Deck?

I'm interested in hearing both about if you still use the default carrying case that comes with the deck, and if you use any kind of protective clip-on case such as the Killswitch, JSAUX Modcase, or other.

default packin case and a glass screen protector has seen me through the last year and a bit now.

Have you had any use for the screen protector? I got the 512gb model with anti-glare and it stopped working with a glass protector on top so I decided to just skip it. Still no scratches anywhere on my deck. I just keep it in the original case when I am not using it

I have. I have a couple hairline scratches on my protector, despite babying it and only using microfiber cloths. I don't have anti-glare, so the reflective surface is the same with or without the protector.

The main reason I have it is for those hairline scratches and for drop protection. On phones, the screen protector will actually absorb a drop-force that would otherwise crack the screen, cracking the protector instead (usually). It's cheap to replace a piece of glass, and much more expensive to replace the digitizer and LCD, so it's a worthwhile investment for me.

i bought the 64gb model and did an ssd swap so i never had antiglare to begin with, and it's more a precaution than anything, shit happens and all that.
