I’m just curious to see how many times it can fall before breaking, or how did you get your Steam Deck to fall

    Once. A small drop from my lap to the carpeted floor when our six month old puppy jumped up on me when he got home from an outing with my wife.

    The hardware took no damage and everything works perfectly, but one of the plastic clips holding the shell together broke off. The first time I opened it was to find out what the rattling sound was.

    Now the right hand side of the casing doesn’t snap all the way together. There’s no visible gap or anything, but it does make a very gentle plastic creaky noise if I squeeze firmly enough and sometimes the right trackpad makes a physical click noise when pressed (as opposed to the haptic feedback of a normal click).

    If anyone has any advice for reattaching or replacing the plastic clip (without replacing the entire shell) I’m all ears, but it doesn’t really bother me.
