WaterField Designs Introduces Versus Gaming Sling, a Dual-Compartment Sling for Two Handheld Gaming Devices

Published

on

Handcrafted in San Francisco, the Versus Gaming Sling is designed to carry two handheld gaming devices, separating a primary console from a second device, accessories, or everyday essentials in two purpose-built compartments. The structured sling protects larger handhelds while enabling two-device carry in a compact, low-profile form suited to gaming and everyday use.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — WaterField Designs today introduced the Versus Gaming Sling, a compact sling bag designed to carry handheld gaming consoles such as the Valve Steam Deck, Nintendo Switch 2, and ASUS ROG Ally, along with accessories, everyday essentials, or a second device. Developed in response to customer requests for a gaming case that could carry two consoles, the sling features a dual-compartment layout: a padded rear compartment for a primary device and a front compartment for a second handheld, additional gear, and daily carry items. Handcrafted in small batches in WaterField’s San Francisco workshop, the new gaming sling combines structured protection, organized storage, and a refined, low-profile silhouette suited to both gaming and everyday wear.

“Customers told us they were carrying more than one device and trying to fit everything into cases that weren’t designed for two devices,” said Gary Waterfield, company founder. “The Versus gives the primary console a fully protected space, while the front compartment stays flexible for a second device, accessories, or everyday gear. The strap detaches so the body works as a standalone case, whether carrying one device or two.”

As handheld gaming expands across platforms, users increasingly carry multiple devices to access different game libraries. Valve’s Steam Deck helped establish a new category of portable PC gaming, followed by systems such as the ASUS ROG Ally and Lenovo Legion Go, while Nintendo Switch devices and dedicated retro handhelds continue to serve distinct ecosystems. Each platform supports different titles, prompting gamers to carry more than one device or travel with additional accessories. At the same time, hands-free carry has become more common across commuting and travel, with sling silhouettes gaining traction for their balance of accessibility, organization, and understated design. The Versus Gaming Sling reflects these shifts, combining dedicated device protection with flexible storage in a compact format.

Design and Materials

The rear compartment functions as a dedicated gaming device case, lined with soft padded material that cushions the console on all sides. Two interior padded panels sandwich the device to protect the screen while doubling as storage for game cards and other flat items. Closed-cell foam panels reinforce the front, back, and base, helping the sling maintain its structure while absorbing impact.

The front compartment is designed for flexible use and features WaterField’s gold lining for improved visibility. Three stretch-mesh pockets and two open pockets organize chargers, cables, and controllers, while also accommodating everyday items such as a wallet, keys, and earbuds. The compartment can hold a second handheld, with additional space for accessories or everyday essentials, depending on device size. An external zippered pocket on the front panel keeps frequently accessed items such as a phone within reach.

Material options include ballistic nylon or waxed canvas paired with full-grain leather accents. Custom metal hardware and water-repellent zippers add durability and weather resistance while maintaining a restrained aesthetic.

EcoMatcher Unveils Tree Personas

A New Nature Interface for Engaging with Your Trees, in Any Language

HONG KONG, April 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — EcoMatcher, a Certified B Corporation that enables companies to plant and track trees transparently, today announced Tree Personas, a new Nature Interface designed to make tree gifting and sustainability engagement more personal, interactive, and memorable.

With Tree Personas, companies can assign a distinct digital personality to each gifted tree, enabling recipients to virtually visit their tree in TreeTracker 3D, chat with it through TreeChat+ in their own language, and learn about its growth, local environment, and real-world impact.

Tree Personas build on EcoMatcher’s earlier TreeChat, which introduced chatbot-powered conversations with trees, only in English. While TreeChat enabled interaction, Tree Personas shape how a tree communicates in any language – from curious and playful to calm and reflective – while all environmental data, location, and impact metrics remain authentic and unchanged.

EcoMatcher describes Tree Personas as a Nature Interface — a new category of digital interface that allows people to interact with real ecosystems through digital companions connected to living trees. The company believes Nature Interfaces can help reconnect people with nature in an increasingly digital world.

Rather than passively receiving information about a planted tree, users can build an ongoing relationship with it — asking questions, learning about its ecosystem, and following its growth over time. Even when users are away, Tree Personas continue to evolve digitally, encouraging people to return and discover new reflections, observations, and updates.

“Trees are essential for life on Earth, yet most people rarely have a personal connection with them,” said Bas Fransen, CEO of EcoMatcher. “Tree Personas turn planted trees into interactive companions that help people learn about nature and build deeper connections with the ecosystems that support us.”

Meet the First Tree Personas

EcoMatcher introduces three Tree Personas available to companies gifting trees, all inspired by real ecological stages and behaviours of trees:

Twiggles: A young, curious tree highlighting small discoveries in nature.Oakly: A grounded, thoughtful tree sharing ecosystems insights.Seren: A calm, reflective tree encouraging deeper connections with nature.

Companies can also collaborate with EcoMatcher to create custom Tree Personas aligned with their brand values, sustainability goals, or storytelling needs.

EcoMatcher will share more about the background and opportunities of Tree Personas during its upcoming Demo Day on April 27. To sign up, visit www.ecomatcher.com/demo.

About EcoMatcher

EcoMatcher is a Certified B Corporation that enables companies to integrate transparent tree planting into their business. Through its technology platform, organizations can plant trees, track them digitally, and engage employees and customers in sustainability. EcoMatcher’s customers include Dubai Islamic Bank, Grab, Infosys, and Singlife.
