How to hide the SD Card slot?

[officialtk7158]

I recently reserved a Steam Deck. I know the sd card won’t fall out, but I’m too paranoid to accidentally popping out with my hands, and part of me wishes it were a bit harder to take it out kinda like the Nintendo Switch. Any ways to cover the slot, with preferably a hard case.

All the cases I've seen have a cutout so as to NOT cover the slot...
Maybe some black tape is what you need(do not do this)

Ive yet to ever accidentally eject to sd card though...

That's a strange request because I don't think I've ever heard of this actually being an issue.
As far as I'm aware, once the SD card is in place, you have to give it a good push to actually release it from it's holder bay, which is next to impossible to do while gaming, unless of course you just happen to be the most cack-handed person in the world?

If you're that paranoid about it, just slap a bit of electrical tape over the slot but having said that, if you are that monumentally clumsy, even that could cause you problems by the sounds of it.

sdcard is flush with the body. you have to intentionally press it to take it out. i doubt this will be done accidentally. put some electrical tape over it as suggested if your randomly digging at your device.

You'd have to be really clumsy to make it fall from there by accident. I just tried how easily I could get it from there by purposefully pressing on it with my thumb. It did not come out. I have to aim at the microSD card with a fingernail to be able to push it with enough force to get it out of there. To accidentally popping it out sounds nearly impossible.

FWIW I just tried and was unable to pop mine out with my fingers. I need some kind of thin device to release it. Maybe you could 3d print something to slide around and kind of wedge around the card, though on mine at it looks like the front edge of the sdcard is flush with the side and you wouldn't be able to get anything around it. Not much modding potential here I think.

It is almost impossible for sdcard to fall out
