I’ve tried a couple sleeves/cases, some thumb caps, the stick on pads for L/R 4/5, and I always end up removing them because I actually prefer the feel of the plain Steam Deck. Anyone else have this happen where whatever they slide or stick onto their Deck makes it feel “wrong”?

      I find it’s necessary to run a hot shower for a few minutes, get the bathroom steamy, and apply it there. I’ve applied two screen protectors in my life that way and both times they’ve worked near flawlessly.

      Every time I do it without the help of steam, it’s a bubble fest.

        A small spray bottle with distilled water can also be used, a light misting of the screen and then a CC or plastic scraper and the water will push the air bubbles out. Less is more when it comes to spraying your screen with anything.

        I like the hot shower solution too.

        This is a good way to do it, it makes sure you don’t get lots of dust floating in the air.

          Distilled water is safer on most screens and it won’t harm anything. IPA can damage some screen coatings.
