Dbrand surprised us with a Cyber Monday deal on its excellent Project Killswitch case, then it just kept the deal running through December. You can still save on one of its Project Killswitch Essentials Kits, which are discounted to just $49.95 (was $67.90). The Killswitch case is a semi-flexible cover that fits snugly over your handheld PC, giving it a modest amount of protection from impacts, with handles that have a delightfully grippy texture. It’s a must-own accessory that we recommend for any Steam Deck or ROG Ally owner who wants some extra protection for their device.

Each Essentials Kit comes packaged with the Killswitch case, an attachable kickstand, and an adhesive skin to give your preferred handheld a little more personality with one of over 20 different patterns or colors. While the excellent travel cover, stick grips, and tempered glass screen protector are sold separately, they are also discounted if you’d like to opt for a more complete bundle.

If you like what Dbrand has to offer but don’t currently own a Steam Deck or ROG Ally, you can also find discounts on skins and accessories for other consoles, including the Xbox Series X, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and even the PlayStation Portal.
