A $169 Handmade Case Finally Gives Steam Frame a Home
SAN FRANCISCO – October 29, 2026 -- WaterField Designs has launched the Shield Case for Steam Frame, a $169 handcrafted carrying case for Valve's VR headset, which ships without a dedicated case. The case holds the headset, both controllers and the included wireless adapter in a foam-reinforced, fleece-lined interior.
A separate compartment keeps controllers apart from the headset
Inside the main case sits a Padded Accessory Case, placed between the goggles and the headband. Its main compartment holds both controllers, and it cushions and helps stabilize the headset. An Ultrasuede pocket holds the wireless adapter, with room for an Arcturus Vision Camera next to it.
"The tricky part was fitting the controllers without making the case larger than it needed to be," said founder Gary Waterfield.
