Photo by Protecting Your Portable Pal
I once witnessed a soy sauce bottle drop out of a kitchen cupboard and completely decimate my partner’s phone. Yet, despite being fully aware that horrible, unprecedented things can happen to portable devices, it took me until recently to consider using the Jsaux Steam Deck Screen Protector I’ve had lying around on the handheld. Yes, in hindsight that was foolish, but now that I’ve slapped the tempered glass cover on my portable pal, I can safely say I wish I did it months ago.
It’s needless to say that if you invest in the best gaming handheld, you should at least give a bit of thought to protecting its more fragile parts. Whether that means picking up Steam Deck accessories like a case, or wrapping your device in some sort of skin, could be perhaps considered going the extra mile. However, while my toxic trait seems to be not using a screen protector, I’d say picking one up is actually mandatory.
Design and Features
Made of tempered glass, Jsaux’s screen protectors are both pretty thin and feel surprisingly durable. The Steam Deck accessory maker also claims each protector boasts 99.99% light transmittance, ensuring a clear view of your handheld’s visuals without any weird tint or haziness.
In the box, you’ll get two screen protectors, alongside everything you need to successfully apply one to your Deck. That includes an alcohol wipe, a small microfiber cloth, a cardboard squeegee for getting air bubbles out, and even a guiding frame for easy application.
Easy Application and Impressive Performance
Even without the handy guide frame, applying a Jsaux screen protector to the Steam Deck was a breeze. The display’s recessed design made the process smooth, ensuring a bubble-free application. As for performance, the protector’s 9H hardness proved its worth when tested against sharp or hard objects, showing no scratches even under pressure.
Once satisfied with the protection, a visual examination of the Steam Deck revealed minimal impact on brightness and clarity, with only slightly higher reflections in bright daylight conditions.
Verdict
Accidents happen, and picking up a set of Jsaux screen protectors for your Steam Deck is more than worthwhile. Easy to fit and almost unnoticeable once applied, these protectors offer reliable durability and clarity. While cheaper alternatives may exist, this set passes personal tests with flying colors, making it a confident recommendation for gamers seeking to safeguard their beloved handheld.
So, if you’re looking to enhance your gaming experience and protect your investment, the Jsaux Screen Protector for the Steam Deck is a must-have accessory that offers peace of mind in the world of portable play.
