We gave this Xbox Ally case a perfect score, and we adore it even more with a Black Friday price tag — the Killswitch is flawless

Gaming handhelds like the Xbox Ally or Steam Deck are built with stern shells to safeguard their inner workings from many hours of usage or accidental abuse, but they're not invincible.

Hence, it's important to get your gaming handheld an outer shell casing to give it extra protection and additional comfort, like dBrand's Killswitch Ultra Kit, which is now on sale for $64.80 thanks to this early 60% Black Friday discount.

Why is this gaming handheld case worth buying?

Our own gaming handheld enthusiast, Rebecca Spear, gave the Travel edition of dBrand's Killswitch Kit for Xbox Ally and the Xbox Ally X a perfect 5/5 review for being an amazing, form-fitting protective case that is a must-have for portable Xbox gaming fans.

The good news is that the Ultra edition of the Killswitch Kit that's on sale is completely identical to the regular edition in terms of build design and quality.

The only difference is that the Ultra edition comes with two glass screen protectors, and it's currently cheaper thanks to dBrand's early Black Friday deal, making the Ultra Edition cost $64.80 as opposed to the Travel Edition, which is currently on sale for $79.85.

As for what makes the Killswitch Ultra Kit so good, it has a form-fitting case that provides all the required openings for USB ports, buttons, and vents without feeling loose, it's got a kickstand for hands-free usage, and its removable screen cover makes it the slimmest case on the market.

Additionally, its textured rubber grips help prevent a gaming handheld from falling out of your hands, and its bundled, durable screen protectors are easy to install.

The Killswitch Ultra only has a few minor flaws to be aware of. Its kickstand can break if you press it back hard enough, the rubber casing can be difficult to remove once installed, and its thick design may prevent your handheld from fitting onto docking stations (though your mileage may vary).

Aside from that, this is a near-flawless gaming handheld case, and now that it's $64.80 cheaper, it's an absolute steal for gaming handheld fanatics.
