Valve Steam Deck (LCD) Screen Protectors
A Valve Steam Deck (LCD) lives in a bag next to chargers and keys, and gets held for hours at a stretch with both thumbs on the glass. Anti-glare and a decent oleophobic coating will change how the thing feels to use far more than a hardness rating will.

For the Valve Steam Deck (LCD) the shortlist is matte / anti-glare and tempered glass. Multipacks make sense here: these screens are large, and a botched first attempt is common.
What to check before you buy for the Valve Steam Deck (LCD)
Touched constantly
Prioritise a good oleophobic coating. Budget glass often skips it, and the surface turns smeary within weeks.
Valve Steam Deck (LCD) screen protectors — your questions
What size is the Valve Steam Deck (LCD) screen?
The Valve Steam Deck (LCD) has a 7-inch display. That figure is the diagonal measurement, so it doesn't on its own tell you a protector will fit, two devices with the same diagonal can have different corner radii and cutouts. Always buy one listed for the Valve Steam Deck (LCD) by name.
Which type of screen protector is best for the Valve Steam Deck (LCD)?
Matte / anti-glare is the default choice for the Valve Steam Deck (LCD). An etched surface scatters reflections and hides fingerprints.
Worth knowing before you buy: slight sparkle or graininess over fine text; marginally lower perceived sharpness.
How much should I spend on a Valve Steam Deck (LCD) screen protector?
Somewhere between £8 and £25 covers almost everyone. Under about £8 you're usually buying glass with no oleophobic coating, which looks fine for a week and then smears permanently.
Above £25 you're paying for a warranty, a better applicator, or a speciality finish like privacy or paper-feel. Those are real benefits, but they're refinements. The jump in protection from nothing to a £10 protector is far larger than the jump from £10 to £30.
Will a screen protector fit the Valve Steam Deck (LCD) with a case on?
Usually, if you buy one described as case-friendly. Those stop fractionally short of the screen edge so a case lip can sit over the top without catching and peeling it.
Full-coverage and edge-to-edge designs look better but can foul thicker cases. If you already own the case, fit the protector first, then check the case clips down flush before you commit to a second one.
