Steam Deck bag: Hole or backwards print to allow CHARGING while it is inside.
Suggestion: Reverse, or allow a hole to CHARGE the Steam Deck inside the case. Now it is possible, but NOT INSERTED inside, and turned UPWARDS, to be able to plug the USB-C.

You should post in the Steam Deck area where people who work on the Steam deck might actually see your suggestion, there is a feature request section on the right.

You absolutely DO NOT want this lol. Charging produces heat, which youve trapped in the case. This is how you overheat and destroy the device. Do not charge the device in the case.

Worse, a cause of laptop failure is being left powered on while in the case.

Being on a charge significantly increases the likelihood that the Steam Deck will be powered on, such as when power saving is disabled for Docked mode.

Charging while in a Carrying Case is absolutely against best practices, and as such I cannot see Valve offer such a product as the first party vendor.

Id be happy if they removed that weird indentation on the outside of the case and moved it to the inside.
European wallplugs dont fit in there anyways. Well they kinda do, but not secureley.

It doesn’t hold the American charger very well either. I am not sure what it’s meant for
