I've never really put a protective case on my handheld consoles (NDS, Vita, 3DS). However, the Steam Deck is more expensive and weighs much more, meaning that even a small height fall could more easily damage it.

I was thinking about the Spigen "Thin Fit Pro", which seems to be a tad more premium than what is usually on the market. It seems to be cut out to fit in an official dock, but I have my doubts.

What's your take on this?

I bought a thin case with a protective front panel that clips on magnetically. That is enough to protect it when thrown in a backpack without adding noticeably to bulk.

This is the best idea. Get yourself a little case of bag for transport like we already had for old handheld consoles <3
