Tomtoc makes a shoulder bag that’s big enough to easily fit most types of gaming handhelds, whether you have a Nintendo Switch, a Steam Deck, or one of the bulkier handheld gaming PCs. And yet, it’s impressively compact and it looks good, too, slightly cribbing the style of pricier Peak Design bags while selling at a fraction of the cost. Well, that bag is even cheaper than usual at Amazon, where it costs $39.99 (normally $49.99).
You can use this bag with or without its supportive W-shaped pad, shown in the image above. Remove it if you want to stuff in everything in your tech repertoire, or leave it in if you want extra support for your handheld console’s screen, buttons, and analog sticks. Even with the pad inserted, it can carry plenty of gear, including a Steam Deck, its charger, plus a mouse and fold-up keyboard.
