WaterField Designs Boasts the Versus Gaming Sling
WaterField Designs has introduced the Versus Gaming Sling — a compact bag handcrafted in San Francisco. This design features two distinct compartments specifically intended to carry a pair of handheld gaming devices such as the Valve Steam Deck, Nintendo Switch 2, or ASUS ROG Ally. The bag can also accommodate accessories or everyday items.
The Versus Gaming Sling's rear compartment is padded on all sides with closed-cell foam reinforcement and interior soft linings that sandwich the primary console to protect its screen, with additional flat pockets for game cards. The front compartment, which is lined in gold for better visibility of contents, contains three stretch-mesh pockets and two open pockets for chargers, cables, controllers, wallet, keys, or earbuds, and it can hold a second handheld device depending on its size. An external zippered pocket keeps a phone or other frequently accessed items within easy reach, while the adjustable strap uses a Fidlock magnetic buckle for quick removal.
