With a magnetic quick attach system that even fits in your original case if you want it to, the whole front is covered and protected including the analog sticks, buttons, touchpads……..everything. Includes the by now almost standard kickstand of course.
Even so the BlastShield is its “own” case it still fits in the original steam deck case that comes with every unit.
Things you need for this mod:
5x 3x6mm round neodymium magnets
3x 8x1mm round neodymium magnets
1-2mm thick sponge foam for the inside of the Blast shields front covering the display area
Glue.
4 magnets of the 6x3 you need do press and glue into the upper connection point of the clamp and Blast shields front, of course in a way so they attract each other. Test fit first so you don't glue them accidentally into the wrong holes who are needed for the two fixation thorns. ( Test fit before you press in the magnets and you will understand which cutout is used for what)
on the lower side of the Blastshield you have to glue another 6x3mm magnet and a 8x1mm to the lower part of the clamp.
The other two 8x1 magnets you use for the kickstand.
Clamp and the back part of the kickstand needs of course to be glued together.
The author marked this model as their own original creation.
