The cover is a bit overpriced and definitely better to buy with the controller itself. The construction is solid and can take a lot of abuse. I especially like the slots for the USB cable, extra batteries, and USB receiver. All round a great article for those with a Steam controller. I don't like mine floating, especially as I often carry it in my backpack (and I have a curious 9 month old). This is a must have for anyone with a Steam controller!
