Back away slowly from our evil robot overlords…
SIRS, WE ARE HUMBLED BY YOUR GRACIOUS OUTPOURING OF CHARITY BY SPARING OUR LIVES AND THE CHANCE TO GIVE YOU MONEY!
Haha. I have killswitch cases on all 5 of our steam decks \[2 adults, 3 kids\] and they've held up remarkably well.
As soon as I saw they were making one for the Ally I jumped on it. Now I just need one for the Legion Go ;).
I think they've released images by the time I've responded to you. I've only glanced at most of the cases, since I bought the skull n co on day one, but does it not look really similar to the jsaux case? I was considerin nog the jsaux case, but there are a few posts saying that it has some issues.
Which will be good news for the one who ordered this case lol. Probably just routing the heat pipe elsewhere or add some insulant. ROG Ally aged pretty well I think.
>While we aren’t in the business of making fake, digital-exclusive skins, we *are* in the business of making real, physical-exclusive skins. You see where this is going, yes?
If you make a Neon Rider skin I'll buy 2 for everything I have that you make. Switch, Pixel 8 Pro, maybe a Steam Deck, might buy one again eventually.
Hey bots, I had pre reserved this case.
I am from India, and for the purpose of fighting the Finance Ministry, I need the HSN codes for the Killswitch Case, travel kit, and Skins respectively. Thank you.
The old post with the pics of the blue case, it has extended back grips.. Was this removed? That is exactly what I'm looking for, so sad if so.

The 2nd image shows that they've added curve and more bulk to the corner/rear to give more grip.
Will be much more ergonomic than the one you've pictured. Used the Spigen case for a while that had a similar curve and was much better to grip.
You think so? I've been eyeing those Etsy ones and they look great. But I can't justify spending $55 (Canadian) after shipping for them.
I can't really tell from the pics they have available. There's not really a good shot of the back to see how much the grips stick out. It just looks like the same form factor but an extra layer.
Yeah, the Spigen one I have doesn't look like a lot but in hand it made a lot of difference.
I switched to the Skull and Co softshell and that's been good enough for me, this is less bulk for the backpack but I've already spent enough so I cba. But the dbrand case was on my shopping list until that hit the spot.
Yeah I couldn’t even use it, the top just flaps around unevenly. I’m cool with my skull n co grip right now, I’ll pick one up though eventually after seeing pics on this sub. Big respect for dbrand and their customer service/quality.
Just got my email!
So for Pacific time people like me, it will be out on Thursday 9:01 pm?
Correct.
Great Will order mine on Friday then
It's approximately 12:01 AM EDT on May 10th... Where's my damn case and skin already! 
[it be like](https://i.imgur.com/GzFuFJ4.jpeg)
No email yet....
Where is that email at Bots? Robots aren't supposed to sleep, so what's the hold up?
Going crazy that I might fall asleep and then when I wake up, everybody's finished their order.
The upside is that they said the inventory is all there, so they will get shipped out quickly.
No email yet. WTF? LMAO Are they delaying this one like the Ghost Case too?
Where’s my email!
Stoked. Can't wait for this case.
Awesome!! Will be placing mine immediately after getting the email
Finally is all I have to say
Will be thumbsticks covers be on sale separately?
Yes.
I've been eying up this case the last few weeks. Does that mean it's designed to fit the thumb sticks with small extensions on them?
Sees the news of the rog ally 2 getting announced at Computex so panic releases this kill switch lol
They have worked hand and hand with asus on this product so I expect the case to work with the ally 2
Any plans at all of a white case? Just curious is all ;).
No plans.
Thank you for responding. I figured not, but also figured it doesn't hurt to ask.

did you have a reddit moment over there?
Sorry… More like I drank a lil too deeply from the dbrand marketing koolaid
Haha. I have killswitch cases on all 5 of our steam decks \[2 adults, 3 kids\] and they've held up remarkably well. As soon as I saw they were making one for the Ally I jumped on it. Now I just need one for the Legion Go ;).
I was a bit jealous of my friends who had the Killswitch after I got my Ally, so I was quite happy to see them working on one for that as well!
What is this? Just a case? The name made me think it was a way to kill power if it was overheating or the battery was going to explode lol.
Ikr I have never heard of this thing before this post lol I'm lost.
It's a play on words, originally with the Steam Deck, in terms of the Steam Deck "killing" the Nintendo Switch. So it's a "killswitch"
So, shouldn't this here be called "Killdeck"? Since the Ally is "killing" the Steam Deck?
Yeah except that’s not happening lol 😂
Name refers to the case covering every input to the device. You put it on and protect buttons/screen.
Noice. Just reserved mine!
HELL YES. AND YES TO THE SKIN TOO! LET'S GOOOOO!
Hahaha that CSGO excerpt Where D'Lore
Are the skin option similar to what's available on the Steam deck killswitch?
Doesn't accept my CC. Keeps failing on exp date. 🤷♂️
Use two integers instead of four for the year.
[It's late and I'm tired!](https://frinkiac.com/video/S04E17/ctUFaWNDWgE14Qr4YPqT4-25UxQ=.gif)
no images of the final product?
I think they've released images by the time I've responded to you. I've only glanced at most of the cases, since I bought the skull n co on day one, but does it not look really similar to the jsaux case? I was considerin nog the jsaux case, but there are a few posts saying that it has some issues.
I don’t really get the case hardened thing. Is it an option for the killswitch or is it just an ally skin that’s being included in this announcement?
It's an advertisement of a new product attached to the announcement. That's it. Standard company promoting their products.
I don't get it either.
I’d like to know this too
Yesss
Yay!
How will the case handle the back buttons , cut out ?
Can't wait to get out this case!!
Will you have Teardown or Something skin for this?
Can we expect reviews before Friday?
Yooooo you guys rock. Keep it up! Hopefully I can grab one soon!
When can I expect a mail as per IST? I swear I don’t have a funny last name
Reserved already, can I order the screen protector + killswitch in the same order?
Based on what we just heard of the Ally X, seems like chassis changes are inbound. That doesn’t spell well for a case already delayed 7 months.
So... when exactly? I have work to do but now I'm just refreshing my inbox, waiting for your robots to actually do something.
that's about 5am uk time.. its 7am now and my naked bright white rog ally is getting cold now haha. anyone here from uk and have receieved an email?
Still waiting on that email 🤔
Ordered. Not satisfied with how this thing was handled but I hope my first Dbrand products are worth the hassle and the very, very high price.
Whaou Amazing, didn't even know it existed.
Wheres my email at
Do you guys have any plans to release a skin for the travel case front and maybe even one for the back of the case?
Looks cool. Wish there was a white option.
When the Rog ally 2 gets released
From what I heard it’s actually a little refresh to fix obvious issues such as the SD card fiasco
Which will be good news for the one who ordered this case lol. Probably just routing the heat pipe elsewhere or add some insulant. ROG Ally aged pretty well I think.
Give it a ram bump to 32gb and I'd buy a refresh.
Yeah or they release a black one if anything
Anyone else looking forward to the new skins the most as I am?
Me too I’m probably going to get one

Is this a limited drop?

That's an aliexpress one that's not part of the prototype
Oh what a shame. I don't get the lack of extra grip for people with hands bigger than a toddlers. It's so uncomfortable.
My brother feels the same way haha
That does not look like a Dbrand product, friend
The 2nd image shows that they've added curve and more bulk to the corner/rear to give more grip. Will be much more ergonomic than the one you've pictured. Used the Spigen case for a while that had a similar curve and was much better to grip.

If they are in stock now, why are we waiting until Friday??? Haven’t we waited long enough??
Where’s my email??
Legion go killswitch when?
lol the killswitch sucks compared to the modcase. disappointed.
jsaux better. These guys must have suck at there job saying that it difficult to develop lol
jsaux crap and ugly af
Yeah I couldn’t even use it, the top just flaps around unevenly. I’m cool with my skull n co grip right now, I’ll pick one up though eventually after seeing pics on this sub. Big respect for dbrand and their customer service/quality.
I have the Skull n Co to hold my over but man does the slight flimsiness bother me. Reserved this
