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.

WaterField's New SteamPack Turns Your Steam Deck Into a Travel-Ready Console

San Francisco – September 17, 2026 -- WaterField Designs launched the SteamPack, a $179 structured case built to carry a full Steam Deck setup, including the dock, two Steam Controllers, power brick and cables, available starting 8 a.m. PDT Tuesday, Sept. 15, 2026 at SFBags.com.

The case solves a portability gap between the handheld and its accessories

While the Steam Deck itself travels easily, the dock, controllers and cords needed for big-screen play do not, according to the company. The SteamPack organizes all of these components so a user can bring a complete setup to a hotel, a friend's home or any other destination with a display.
