Valve's Steam Deck comes as the OLED model with a 7.4-inch screen and as the older LCD model with a 7-inch screen. A charger is in the box, a screen protector isn't, and many people want a case with more room or a grip case they can stand up. Here's what matters and five products that fit, available on Amazon.de.
Transparency: We have not tested these products ourselves. All data comes from Valve, the manufacturers and the Amazon.de product pages we checked (as of November 2026). We don't list prices because they change constantly.
Steam Deck OLED in numbers
These are the Valve specs you need when picking accessories:
| Spec | Steam Deck OLED (per Valve) |
|---|---|
| Screen | 7.4-inch HDR OLED, 1280 × 800, up to 90 Hz, touch |
| Brightness | up to 1,000 nits (HDR), 600 nits (SDR) |
| Battery | 50 Wh |
| Charger | 45 W, USB-C PD 3.0, 2.5 m cable |
| Ports | 1× USB-C (DisplayPort, USB 3.2 Gen 2), 3.5 mm, microSD (UHS-I) |
| Wireless | Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3 |
| Dimensions | 298 × 117 × 49 mm |
| Weight | approx. 640 g |
According to Valve, the LCD model has a 7-inch screen, a 40 Wh battery and is about 30 g heavier. The outer dimensions are the same, which is why many cases fit both models.
Fit: OLED or LCD?
- Cases and grip cases: Most are listed for "Steam Deck / Steam Deck OLED". Still check the product description.
- Screen protectors: The OLED screen is larger (7.4 instead of 7 inches). Many protectors are cut to fit both. If only one model is listed, buy exactly that one.
- Other handhelds: Accessories for the ROG Ally, Legion Go or Switch don't automatically fit. The Ally has its own accessories buying guide.
What's already in the box?
Valve includes a 45 W USB-C charger. For the 1 TB models, Valve lists a case with a removable liner, so the Deck can go into a backpack without the hard shell. Check the retailer's list of contents for your exact model.
A screen protector isn't included. If you play on the go a lot, you'll often want a case with room for the charger, cables and a power bank too.
Charging: which charger fits?
Valve specifies 45 W with USB-C Power Delivery 3.0. Valve also says the OLED battery charges from 20 to 80 percent in about 45 minutes.
- Spare or second charger: Get a USB-C charger with PD and at least 45 W. A more powerful one does no harm, the Deck only draws what it needs.
- Cable: A standard 3 A USB-C cable is enough for 45 W.
- Phone charger: At 20 W the Deck charges much more slowly, and the battery may still drain while you play.
Suitable chargers are in the USB-C charger buying guide, and for the road see the power bank buying guide.
What to look for in glass, cases and grip cases
- Clear or matte glass: Clear glass keeps the OLED picture unchanged but reflects more. Matte glass cuts reflections but can make the image slightly softer.
- Alignment frame: A frame makes it much easier to apply the glass straight.
- Case or grip case? A carrying case protects the Deck in transit and comes off to play. A grip case stays on, protects corners and back and adds grip.
- Room for extras: If you bring a charger, dock or power bank, you need a second layer. Slim cases usually only hold the Deck.
- Pressure on the sticks: Raised areas or a groove over the sticks stop them being pressed inside the case.

Our pick in one sentence
For most people a screen protector plus a case is enough: matte if you often play in daylight, clear if the OLED picture matters more. If you bring the charger or dock, go for the two-layer JSAUX case.
The Deck gets more storage through its microSD slot, see the handheld microSD buying guide. For the TV you need a dock, see the Steam Deck dock buying guide.
FAQ
Do Steam Deck LCD accessories fit the OLED?
Cases and grip cases usually do, because Valve lists the same outer dimensions. Screen protectors only if both models are listed, because the OLED screen is larger.
Does the Steam Deck come with a case?
For the 1 TB models, Valve lists a case with a removable liner. Check the contents of your model with the retailer.
Which charger do I need?
Valve specifies 45 W with USB-C PD 3.0. Any USB-C PD charger with at least 45 W works.
Do I even need a screen protector?
Not necessarily. But glass is cheaper to replace than the screen and protects against scratches, for example from sand or keys in your bag.
Is matte glass on the OLED a good idea?
Yes, if reflections bother you. If maximum sharpness matters more, choose clear glass.
Do Bluetooth headphones work with the Steam Deck?
Yes. According to Valve, the OLED model has Bluetooth 5.3 and a 3.5 mm jack.
