(Part 2) Best nintendo switch cases & storage products according to redditors

Hm, when I try to apply the coupon it says I am not eligible... Now I just refreshed and it's gone completely. I wonder if it was a flash sale or a mistake or what?

Now I've found the $42 version has a 50% off coupon that works..https://www.amazon.com/Smatree-Carrying-Compatible-Switch-Fit-Controller/dp/B0772MQ43V

And the $52 one has a 60% off coupon... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079NCBJ7G/

maybe one of those add ons to add more grip?

kind of bulky and don’t know how it affects the charging ports though.

There are also a few other colors/variations. They are actually really cool! If I didn't get the BotW SE, I would get this.

Tomtoc Hard Storage Case is the bomb. It's thicker than most slim cases, which means I have the option to fit 2 extra joycons, or a pro controller, or a power bank, as well as other extras. Fits 18 game carts, and turns into a stand so I don't have to pack one. Bought it in red, looks great, comes in slim or whole console versions too. https://www.amazon.com/Compatible-tomtoc-Protective-Hardshell-Accessories/dp/B07HCZ6BN5/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?keywords=tomtoc+switch&qid=1558618107&s=gateway&sr=8-3

It's the basic stock "official" Nintendo switch case and it is very nice.

​

I ended up preferring the Amazon Basics version as it was slightly smaller and the handle on the official one annoyed me.

I ended up buying this one that's shaped like a giant Switch game! It holds 30 games and doesn't put the game cards in little slots that you have to pull them out of to identify.

Pretty happy with it.

Get one of those transparent plastic cases for the switch. The ones with that are hard/semi-hard plastic.

You'll get to see the signatures and protect them + your switch at the same time. WIN-WIN

Get a screen protector immediately, the dock scratches the screen. Until you have one, leave it docked as much as you can (the scratches come from being slid into the dock / taken out, not from standard use).

I got this one, it's great: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N3ASPNV/

I also got this for it, but it won't fit in the dock anymore with it, which is fine for me as I don't use the dock: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0716KM5BB/

I have a spare charger for the switch, for trips and playing Disgaea 5 while in bed, which is just a Google Pixel charger: https://store.google.com/product/usb_c_18w_power_adapter_2?srp=/product/usb_type_c_18w_power_adapter

I got the AmazonBasics Switch vault case as an add-on for $6 last year and couldn't be happier. This thing is built like a tank. Can throw it in my bag without fear of damage and even survived a pretty nasty fall when I slipped on ice last winter. Would def recommend!
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07348551R/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_IiL5CbQ6FZAEM

If you just want to carry games and the Switch I got this one. For the price it is a great deal has a hard plastic shell and a nice foam fitted lining (think like those fancy camera or gun cases). I have dropped the case a bunch and it protects the switch in it perfectly (Once in a shallow puddle. I would not recommend swimming with it though.).

That's why I always leave my joycons on the thing, and place my switch in my travel case every night if I'm taking it to work or on a trip.

https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Switch-Traveler-Deluxe-Travel-Breath/dp/B01N6S888E/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1501849416&sr=8-6&keywords=switch+travel+case has been worth every penny.

The 3ds is absolutely worth if you want to play some its games. Last year at Black friday I topped off my 3DS library and I think my final count is 20 cartridges + another 10 or 15 digital titles. Having an active Virtual console probably helps too.

For the 3DS I would suggest getting a snap on case. They make metal ones like this, and clear plastic ones too if its a special edition system.

Similarly for your current switch, or if you do get the Pokemon one, get a protective case. While making docking a pain, it will at least offer some protection if you accidentally drop it in the future.

Had my Switch in one of these while traveling up to Orlando.

https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Vault-Case-Nintendo-Switch-Black/dp/B07348551R

3.5 hour drive. At some point, my Switch turned on mid trip and just idled for the rest of the drive. It was set to never sleep for some reason. Got to my destination, Switch was still on. At that point, it had ~30% battery and was running pretty hot. The fans were on overdrive trying to keep it cool. The game holder flap was starting to get mushy, but wasn't at its melting point. It surprised me that it overheat and die in there.

I have this, it's kind of a pain to put on and off but I mainly play portable and charge via cable, but its very comfortable to hold.

Most minimalist game cases have cart slots built into the screen cover.


Here are the most minimalist cases I have seen besides just straight up sleeves.

And this case but it’s very basic and I don’t take my switch out of the house often and the price here is marked up as it was only 19.99 when I got it. Plus it only hold 8 games but I like the flap that covers the screen when it’s in it.

Hope this helps

I got this one along with my switch last June and I’ve taken my switch cross country and I’ve had no problems with it the cartridge containers hold 8 games in total which is more than enough for me and should accommodate you unless you have everything physical

A few disclaimers:

I know I'm late to the punch, and I apologize. I also know I'm going to look like a crazy person for throwing so many items at you, so I apologize for that as well. I may also seem vaguely arrogant by the end of this, so please accept a third apology. I just like to take care of my electronics is all. My only credentials are anecdotal evidence that despite my rather rough job I've never even so much as cracked the screen on my cell phone so I like to think I'm pretty good at the "how do I prevent breakages" question.

Okay. So, I'm gonna rattle off a few items that I've bought for my own Switch, and my reasoning behind them. You DO NOT have to buy all of these items, but they are all useful on some level for the console.

The Joy-Con Controller If you're looking to get a second controller, start here. I'm sure you've figured out by now that one Joy-Con (JC) can be reconfigured to work as two controllers, so simply by buying a second JC you're now able to hit the 4-player local maximum for many of the Switch's games (including Mario Kart!). You can get the spouse, another kid, or even some friends playing during a party.

The Switch Pro Controller A more traditional-style controller. It's slightly cheaper and it's much more comfortable on large hands, but it CANNOT be split into two separate controllers like the Joy-Con can. Well, unless you get a saw or something but then it won't work at all anymore. Besides that it does function exactly the same as the standard JC controllers. There is also a wired version available that is even cheaper, but I personally have become spoiled in this wireless age and don't like cables dangling across my living room anymore.

Fitian Charging Dock for Joy-Cons Pretty self explanatory. Normally you charge your Joy-Cons by plugging them into the Switch, but if you have a second (or more) JC, it becomes a slight hassle to keep them all charged up. A charging dock can be a godsend. This is the one I use, simply plug it straight into your Switch Dock via USB.

FastSnail Joy-Con Grips There's a gazillion different versions of these things floating around, but these are the ones I personally use. I like them cause the shoulder L/R buttons are massive, and the grippy parts are really comfortable for extended use. Simply stick your Joy-Con halves into the plastic holders for a more comfortable grip. Holds them securely but they're still easy to pop back out as needed, no latches or screws or anything.

Orzly Carry Case ONE option for a carrying case. I was a little hesitant to recommend this particular item, but I may as well cause again, it's the one I use. The case itself is fine: durable, carries your Switch plus some games and accessories, and keeps them safe through your standards drops and bumps. However, if you fill it up as much as is shown in the pictures there on Amazon... At best you're gonna feel like you're mashing something, at worst you're gonna have trouble zipping it closed. What I've ended up doing is putting my Switch with an attached set of JCs, the games, and my adjustable stand (see next item) into the case, and then tossing the case plus whatever other particular accessories I need into my backpack. This case is NOT good to haul a lot of Switch stuff, JUST the console itself plus a handful of small bits for maybe a day trip or something. If you want to carry everything, look elsewhere. I've seen a few cases mentioned, but I can't recommend anything as I haven't tried anything.

Younik Compact Adjustable Stand I love this thing. If you're playing on the go and don't feel like holding it (and don't trust that stupid little kick stand on the back), you can unfold this thing and prop up the Switch on any flat surface for a much more comfortable viewing able. When you're done with it, you can fold it back flat and it fits nicely pretty much anywhere (like, for example, in the Orzly case I mentioned previously). Nintendo makes a first-party adjustable stand, but I actually like this one better. It costs a couple dollars less and feels sturdier. Its a luxury item to be sure, but it's nice to have when you want it.

Findway Protective Case A protective "jacket" for the Switch itself. I like this one because it snaps on and off of the Switch and JCs super easily, and is a sort of bendable plastic. Only 3 pieces: one for the tablet, and then one piece each for the left and right JCs. Easy to clean, too. Only drawback is that you HAVE to remove the jacket any time you want to dock the Switch in its charger. However, you're going to find that this is the case for any jacket that you want to buy for your Switch. You do NOT need to remove the jacket if you're simply sticking it in the aforementioned Adjustable Stand.

Pleson Tempered Glass Screen Protector Not much explanation needed here. I'm neurotic about getting screen protectors for all of my portable electronics, and I love the tempered glass ones. This one is cheap, it's durable, and it's easy to install with a steady hand. HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend, even if only to keep your Switch looking nice through the wear and tear. You won't need to remove it for the dock, unlike the jacket.

I think that's everything for now. Again, I know it's a lot being thrown at you all at once, but you don't have to buy everything. This is all just stuff I've amassed for my own Switch that I've found useful or that I recommend. Pick and choose as you see fit. Feel free to shop around as well, these are just examples of all the particular items and there are MANY choices available for almost everything listed.

If you have any questions, I'm always happy to help.

That's pretty cool but I think I've seen it in Datablitz SM Megamall, weeks ago. Maybe it was a different brand, but I question the necessity of this considering you'll either be carrying the Switch in a travel case when it's out, or leaving it in its dock at home. And speaking of the dock, you'll have to remove the case every time you want to dock the Switch. Bit of a hassle if you plan on switching modes a lot.

>Messenger Bag (since I'm always moving weekly)
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N22YAIP/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_dp_T2_rhGlzb5Z4BRJ7

Datablitz carries this HORI travel bag for the Switch, which I bought for myself and it does a good job carrying the console, dock, HDMI cable, power adapter, and Joycon grip with extra Joycon attached. The dividers on the inside are modular and can be moved around to suit your packing style. It's about half the price of the messenger bag, and you can still stuff it into a backpack for portability (which is how I carry it around when I do need to bring everything, though that's only happened twice).

There are cases here though none that I've seen which have handles. This isn't an issue though if you've already got a bag or backpack to carry it in, which I highly recommend doing anyway; carrying a Nintendo-branded bag/case around, especially one tailor-fit for the Switch, is just begging to be stolen.

While I don't agree with the necessity of some of these accessories, my Switch use case may very well differ from yours (when you eventually do decide to get it). So if you still think those exact items are the ones you really need to get, then I'd suggest using a shipping forwarder like Jinio (Xend-owned), My-ShoppingBox (FICI-owned), or Shippingcart (LBC-owned) to receive and ship your orders directly to you. I've used all three and they're generally equally reliable.

It is great in handheld and table top mode. I use it all the time on plane trips with no internet access.

If you decide you want to play table top mode and charge you may want to look into either

Or

I have this case to store it and it doubles as a stand. I cut the straps as they were a pain.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072PW59TZ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1

As others have mentioned the suspend when going to the home screen is a nice feature.

Amazon basics has a hard shell case that is great for the price and is pretty subtle.

Edit: formatting on mobile

In that scenario I'd get an Amazon Basics Vault case. The hard outer shell protects it well in a bag and keeps things from accidentally turning on the Switch by bumping the case which drains the battery. No room for accessories like additional Joycons or battery banks, but you could throw those in your backpack separate if needed.

The Switch Pro controller is well worth it if you're going to be playing in docked mode.

Also a tempered glass screen protector is highly recommended.

I had the plain black version of the second case. It works well, but I would recommend another. The middle flap doesn't hold as much as you would like. The Velcro eventually wore out, and it doesn't have a double zipper.

I love the Butterfox case. I also got it for a friend. It holds a ton of games. Has a zippable storage spot for joycon, headphones, straps, etc. It also has a stand feature which is nice. The outside is hardened fabric and feels protective. It's also very inexpensive.

I just picked up a Switch. Any recommendations of accessories kit? I browsed the wiki but it's more of a listing than actual recommendations. I think this one is my current frontrunner.

Joycon/Switch grip attachments then, like this or this.

I hate to say it, but this happened to me too after a while. What caused it was the thumbstick getting knocked about in transit. (So even though it looks like it's ion its normal place, the mechanism underneath makes the onscreen positioning stick in a certain direction from time to time).

This is why I have stopped transporting it in soft pocuhes, and always make sure to use a more solid one that is well padded, as the thumb-sticks are always the most vulnerable part.

There are a few good ones out there that proitect them well.
Any of the RDS ones are solid, and well padded. (though not much space for carrying anything else though besides your switch and very small items like cartridges).

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Nintendo-Switch-Traveler-Deluxe-Travel-Breath/dp/B01N6S888E

The best one I have used by far though is the Orzly Carry Case for Nintendo Switch, as not only is it exactly the same size on the outside as the RDS one, but the inner space management is alot better on the Orzly one. You get lots of top pocket room, aswell as everything being well padded inside, and the outside is solid enough to never press down on the thumbsticks, so my joy-cons always last alot longer.

https://www.amazon.com/Orzly-Carry-Compatible-Nintendo-Switch/dp/B01NAUKS62

Unfortunately once the thumbstick's start failing, it does mean the whole joy-cons need replacing. Were your joy-cons always like that, or did it happen over time? (I'm just thinking that if you bought them new and they had this fault, they may still be under guarantee from where you bought them from, which would save you having to pay). When it happened to me though, it happened after a while of use, so unfortunately I just had to buy new ones, and just be more careful how I transport my switch. It was a valuable lesson well learned. (well, an expensive one, anyway)

I do have a case, but it's too bulky to be practical in my traveling kit. Last time I traveled, I slid the Joycons off and packed them separately, and I have one of those glass screen protectors on my Switch, so I slipped it in with my laptop, using my notebook as padding between the two.

It still travels well, but it's a mite bit fiddlier than the 3DS was.

Oh they're different! Mine is [this one](Nintendo Switch Game Traveler Deluxe Travel Case- Zelda Breath of the Wild – Link - Blue (Discontinued by Manufacturer) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N6S888E/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_8jDRAb9NRTXVC)

I currently use a combination of the following:

Case: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B06XRV344R/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_7JjUCbZPNHNGA

2x HORI Switch Game Card Case https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01NASY99Z/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_kLjUCbHYH2M87

Both Hori cases fit perfectly in the top of the switch case and allow for 67 games to be carried at any one time (plus one additional in the console itself)

Trying to figure out what case she has in a few of the pics.

I think it's this one but I'm not sure:

www.amazon.com/dp/B06XWC4DND/ref

I got one very similar to this https://www.amazon.com/Fintie-Nintendo-Switch-Case-Multi-Angle-Viewing/dp/B06XWC4DND it's decent. I wound up getting the a new one though because that one does have holders for game carts

I've some random examples here, however I would recommend you do some shopping around for yourself.

Findway Crystal Case

Kungber Ergonomic Back Case

Nyko Bubble Case

Nyko Slim Case

Mumba Protective Case

Liangsm Leather Cover

Utoper Wallet Carrying Case

Yoswan Aluminum Case

Chinfai Silicone Skin

YoRHa Hand Grip

Keep your specific needs in mind. Do you want a case that will allow your Switch to fit inside the dock? Do you use tabletop mode often and want your Joy-Cons to be easily detachable? Do you want a case that will cover your screen when not in use? Do you want your case to give you extra grip while holding it in handheld mode? Do you prefer hard plastic or is silicone acceptable? How important is it that the buttons remain uncovered? Etc.

I ordered this case for a flight to Japan and the cartridge holder folds up to support the screen upright. Worked perfectly on the tray table.

2. Grab one of these: http://www.8bitdo.com/wireless-usb-adapter/
   
   -
   
3. The switch is all plastic (even the screen) so it's a bit more susceptible to damage. In some cases, it has also warped because of heat, so be sure you have good airflow wherever you put the dock. Definitely get a hard(er) carrying case (something like this: https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Vault-Case-Nintendo-Switch-Black/dp/B07348551R/), a tempered glass screen protector (https://www.amazon.com/amFilm-Tempered-Protector-Switch-2017/dp/B01N3ASPNV/) and maybe a slim case for the switch itself if you drop shit a lot or just leave it lying around (https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Switch-Station-Protective-Accessories/dp/B078MKQY2W/).

I never had any issues with the SP but my DS Lite's left-side hinge broke from just opening it to play one time about two years after I bought it new, which prevented me from being able to play unless it was on a flat surface. At the time I had a carrying case, wrist strap and was super careful with it all the time too.

After the hinge snapped, if I angled it too high it would shut because there was nothing keeping it from shutting, and when it was on a table it would bend all the way back which was annoying but at least I could play it. Couldn't play it while walking or seated up or anything, which may not sound like much but was really super annoying. Looked online and realized it was a common issue. Ended up tossing it after my attempt to repair it broke the top screen, and bought a 3DS. I haven't changed any of my habits in regards to system care because I can't think of any ways I can be more careful with it but neither hinge has broken yet. But the hinges will break eventually since physical, moving parts rubbing against each other break down after time.

Dust and junk are not an issue as long as you have a case and put the device in the case whenever you're not using it, and I've had a case for all of the portable gaming systems I've owned (including GBA, which I don't use anymore but is still clean as a whistle). I bought this hard shell case for my Switch because it has cut-outs on the top that protect the analog sticks. I don't have a 2DS but if I did I'd pay more to buy a case like that one to protect the analog sticks so they're not getting wobbled around in transit as well.

I have one similar to this one and it is good for carrying around a couple games and an extra set of Joycons or two.

I actually don't think there's a single Switch case on the market without a flap in the middle.

My recommendation for a case still remains a shining recommendation for the AmazonBasics case. It's cheap, durable af, and holds everything you'd want to carry with you and protect inside it.

Design is cool, case itself is durable, but the pouch barely holds anything in it, and the velcro design is garbage that eventually stops sticking after a couple months.

The design on the front is plastic, and will wear off after a couple months as well. I'd recommend [this] (https://www.amazon.com/ButterFox-Carrying-Compatible-Nintendo-holders/dp/B075YCWQSF/ref=sr_1_6?crid=1BMZPMWMV99IH&keywords=butterfox+nintendo+switch+case&qid=1562207675&s=gateway&sprefix=buttterfox+%2Caps%2C202&sr=8-6) one or literally any other one on Amazon.

I'd personally stick with a basic case and get the Hori Compact Playstand. It would fit in the top pocket of my Butterfox with no problem, probably even with my 20100 mah battery and charge cord for the Switch (I could probably downsize on the cord a bit, it's the one that came with the pro controller).

If size was your absolute top concern, I might suggest a wallet case like his one. Won't be able to charge it while it's on the stand though, and I'd be worried about it in a tight backpack.

If an all-inclusive case/stand with charging capability is what you are after, your best bet probably is the Satisfye slim case AManCalledM recommended or something similar.

You are getting too many stuff. Just get a small case something like this , a screen protector , an SD card and either a pro controller or additional joycons but not both. If you plan on playing 4 way local mutliplayer get joycons and if not get a pro controller. If you are going to travel with the whole set including the dock get a bigger case that is for carrying the whole setup and get an extra power adapter and hdmi cable instead so you dont bother with plugging them out. Total maybe $150 or so.

Just picked up a Switch via the Target deal. Need the usual accompaniment.

I'm picking up an amFilm screen protector and would like a case.

I've seen cases from TomToc, Fyoung, and the Orzly pack which seems like a good deal; and just came across this Zadii grip (Satisfye clone?), case, and screen protector that also looks like a good deal.

Any recommendations?

This one's pretty good. Holds 2 Pro controllers and extra joycons w/joycon grip.

They're having a sale on their stuff. If you go to the smatree site on Amazon (click the name) you should be able to view the nintendo related cases and their respective coupons. This one seems to be expired but they have a smaller case for 60% off which is sub $20 if you have prime.

​

I have the red/blue version of this case. It works, it has saved my switch from a few drops. It also comes with a glass screen protector. For $14 dollars it cant be beat.

Thanks. I use a dockable clear case. You can get it from Amazon or Gamestop. Amazon link

It works pretty good. It’s three pieces. One for the middle parts and two for the joycons

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B078NB6TWZ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_s2TWCbN5RFH4F

I have the leather breath of the wild case and it’s awesome here is a link to it. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07983CJDX/ref=cm_sw_r_sms_c_api_pEFJBb4H6A3CA

how is the case in the Starter Kit? I bought a hard case which seems to offer a lot of protection but is a little bulky for my bookbag

I'm traveling this June too across the Atlantic and this is what I will be taking with me after some thinking/research.

1. Case: Mumba Carrying Case
   Great protection + lots of space especially if you have a grip on your console. Decent price to what you're getting.
   
   
2. Battery Pack: RAVPower 26800 PD Power Bank
   26800mAh would be the power limit that planes allow onboard. They ask for less than 100 Wh.To get the Wh of a power bank, use this formula (mAh)/1000 x (V) = (Wh) (V is usually 3.7 for these types of packs)
   
   
3. Controller: 8Bitdo Sn30 Pro Bluetooth Gamepad (G Classic Edition)
   Slim and portable and works great with the types of games I play (one of them being Octopath!)
   
   
4. Stand: HORI Compact Stand - Zelda Edition
   As most people recommend, a stand is a great thing to carry so you can play without straining your hands from the weight of the switch. This one lets you charge your switch and is designed for it, not a repurposed phone stand.
   
   
   And obviously your charger, usb-C cables, headphones, joy con straps.
   
   ​

I have a switch backpack , it’s lovely for travel, can carry up to 8 joy cons (2 attached to the switch and 6 pockets), lots of pockets for everything and room for others. People have mentioned to not carry it in a visibly licensed product in big cities, but you could remove the licensing with a seam ripper and a patient and careful hand. I got a glass screen protector , it comes with 2 and I got this small case to basically protect it around the house. They have larger small cases that carry more than just the switch, there is also a Zelda themed case and as of right now Walmart has it on sale for the physical copy of the game.

Maybe something like this? https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B07DW27D1K?psc=1&ref=yo_pop_mb_yo_pop_mb_pd_t2

I have the larger storage version of this one (Tom Toc brand), plus the smaller switch-only version, and they are both fantastic. Extremely high quality fabric and zippers, plus looks great. I think you're looking for the mid-size, I'm sure its great too.

​

You really have to stay with nintendo parts on the dock. 3rd party docks have been known to brick systems. Could brick them fast, could take a while but it's not worth it. Buy a second dock on ebay or something, rehouse it in that small casing you are talking about. It's really the only option. I don't know of any smaller adapters, I bought the nintendo one again for travel. Add this case (https://www.amazon.com/Compatible-tomtoc-Protective-Hardshell-Accessories/dp/B07HCZ6BN5/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1550237816&sr=8-9&keywords=tomtoc+case+switch) and you can fit all of it in one very nice and small package. It's really your best bet. I've put a ton of research and testing into these and this is the best rig for switch.

I have this carry case and although the unit fits it is a pretty tight fit. Normally I can store a six foot cord in the case with the switch however with the protector on it barely shuts even with nothing in the front zipper pouch. Since the protector in this thread is a bit thinner it might not be an issue?

Switch - $300
Set of JoyCons - $80
Zelda - $60
Mario Kart - $60
Snipperclips - $20
Blaster Master Zero - $10
Tempter glass screen protector - $11 for a two pack
BotW zipper case - $18

So, $559 before tax. Zelda and four player games with my wife and kids make it 100% worth if for me. I scavenged the 32GB memory card from my tablet, and my next purchases will be sonic and a powerbank as I have a long trip coming up.

Yeah looks similar to this one in my OP https://www.amazon.co.uk/Nintendo-Keten-Upgraded-Cartridge-Accessories-Switch-Case-KS02/dp/B06XRV344R/ref=sr_1_12?ie=UTF8&qid=1518472919&sr=8-12&keywords=nintendo+switch+case

Seems a common design with different branding. With regards the back panel being covered the Orzly grip comes with all the cut outs including the vents on the back so they aren't covered.

[Keten carrying case] (https://www.amazon.com/Compatible-Keten-Protective-Cartridge-Accessories/dp/B06XRV344R/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=keten+switch+case&qid=1550913948&s=gateway&sr=8-3)

Screen protector

Dust protector for the dock

Pro Controller

Optional dock sock if you're worried about scratching the screen protector

Optional Nintendo brand charger if you want a spare charger in the carrying case --- supposedly 3rd party systems can be very bad for your console so don't risk it.

There’s a Keten case that is swiped durable, houses everything you’ve mentioned, and storage for 19 games. Love using that for long haul trips. Check it out.

This one on amazon UK is 7.5cm thickness, but I don't know how much of it is for the accessories part.

Like the two other posters at time of posting I have a hestia case myself, mainly for the unbranded look and velcro/fabric zippers/etc. :D

I was thinking about something functionally like this for a stand:

https://www.amazon.com/Fintie-Protective-Case-Nintendo-Switch-Multi-Angle/dp/B06XWC4DND/ref=sr_1_14?ie=UTF8&qid=1540400045&sr=8-14&keywords=switch+case+stand

​

Ideally so it still fits well in the hard case

Are you looking for something like this or this? You'll have to remove it when you dock it but its a case that protects the screen and will allow the joycons to be detached.

I use this one. I like how you can fold back the cover when playing in handheld mode so that it isn't in your way.

For all of you undocked users, do you use a plastic cover like this or one of these hybrid covers.

Also does anyone have a good recommendation for back covers to protect the backplate when it is docked?

Thanks!

I did find a similar case that looks to be rubbery and has better reviews.

Nintendo Switch Case,Findway Nintendo Switch Premium Crystal Clear Shock Absorption Technology Bumper Soft Protective TPU Cover Case for Nintendo Switch Console & Accessories https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0716KM5BB/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_ZbUeAb83DZ89M

I mean it is used on cell-phones and tablets world-wide...doubt it'll hurt it, but I am using it with this case. https://www.amazon.com/Findway-Absorption-Technology-Protective-Accessories/dp/B0716KM5BB/ref=sr_1_15?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1517802598&sr=1-15&keywords=switch+case

Can't imagine the adhesive would ever hurt a switch if it doesn't hurt other plastic though. I wouldn't put it on a naked switch unless I never wanted to use a case and only used dock extensions.

Hello, I literally just got my Switch yesterday! I'm assuming your son is ~10 years old. Hopefully this can help;

1. "Updates" only took 1 minute for me. I'm unsure if the console was already up-to-date to a certain point, but updating was practically instant. Same with my Super Mario Odyssey update, took an extra 1 minute. So 2 minutes total doing updates and then I was playing a game.
   
2. I highly recommend one. I got the tempered glass amFilm one from Amazon. Really nice screen protector and you get two for ~$10, this one specifically: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N3ASPNV/
   
3. I personally recommend a rubber TPU case for the switch/joycons, this is the one I bought: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0716KM5BB/
   
   I recommend the rubber case because it'll protect the device itself from small drops and scuffs that can occur if the user of the device isn't careful. I'm in my early 20's and I'm extremely careful with my phones(haven't dropped any phones for about 3-4 years now).
   
   I bought this rubber case for my Switch just in case someone else is using it and drops it. The console and joycons all have their own rubber piece, but the joycons can still snap onto the Switch, however the Switch cannot dock into the TV Dock enclosure with the rubber case on. So if your son wants to play on the TV constantly then this case isn't worth the hassle in my opinion.
   
   

This one here. I haven't ordered it yet, things are kinda tight at the moment but I plan on it ASAP so I'll feel loads better about playing in portable mode! I didn't want a hard case, as I have a hard case on my MM3D NN3DSXL and while I don't take it off very often if at all, it's still already scratched some of the paint off on the bottom portion where it kinda clips on. Not really wanting to deal with that on my Switch, plus, I think a gel/soft case will feel a lot more comfortable in my hands.

Hey, the ButterFox case is pretty great. But if you want something cheaper I would highly recommend the AmazonBasics case for $10.


Also the AmFilm tempered glass protector is the best and real easy to apply.

Hey, I'm looking for a good Nintendo Switch case. I was looking at the official one, but its double its MSRP rn, so that ain't an option. Anyway, I was looking at the AmazonBasics one and anyone that has it 1. Is it good? and 2. Is it flexible at all? All hard? and 3. How durable?
https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Carrying-Case-Nintendo-Switch-Black/dp/B072PW59TZ/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1522727069&sr=1-3&keywords=amazonbasics%2Bnintendo%2Bswitch&th=1

I'd recommend getting a case similar to this as well as a tempered glass screen protector (this is a good one). That should be enough to keep your Switch safe as long as you aren't dropping it or throwing it around, and you can put it in the case when you're taking it around with you.

For me a case has been necessary. With the amount of traveling my wife and I have done it is convenient way to keep games, extra joycons, and USB-C charging cable all together. While I don't have this case, I like the design of the Amazon basics case a lot. Amazon basics case

get atleast a case such as https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072PW59TZ

Hey folks, PC gamer here who just got a Switch about two weeks ago. I love it. At first I said, I don't need a case because I will never take this out of the house. Suddenly, I see a lot of value in bringing it with me so we can have short gaming sessions during downtime. I started looking for a case but I can't seem to find anything that really seems to fit my needs. I read through the reddit guide, and scoured Amazon, Target and Best Buy. I would love some help because I am a little picky. I feel like Switch cases are designed for just the Switch, and a few games or every for single accessory. I like the Amazon Basic Vault case but if I were to go with that, how would I best transport the few accessories (Power A stand and joycon lanyards) I care about? I got this case at Target, but it doesn't really work well for me.

Any thoughts? Here is more of what I am looking for:

1. I am trying to stay all digital, and I see the game flaps as potential annoyances and wastes of space. I also don't need space for the dock, AC adapter, additional joycons, or any other cables.
   
2. I got the Power A stand and I really like it. I would like to have a safe place to put it.
   
3. I don't care if the joy cons are attached in the case, but I do want to have space for the controller lanyards so we can comfortably play two player.
   
4. I prefer hard cases as it will travel in an un-cushioned backpack pocket.

I use the vault case and have taken it across the world shoved in backpacks and never had any issue. It only holds like 6 carts tho, but its hard plastic and can easily withstand drops. I have the red:

What would be the downside of a refurbished Switch, though?

I've kind of gotten in the mindset that officially refurbed items really are not much different than the brand new ones. I bought my Canon T6 refurbed, had the same exact warranty as a brand new one, no issues with it.

I feel like the refurb price is a better deal than the Wal-Mart ad. I don't think the case is a big deal an the $20 credit is mitigated by the lower price. Honestly I kind of like this case better anyways.

I'm still miffed it doesn't come with a game by default, though. Darn consoles these days.

Always use this guy to take my switch off shore with me and it’s held up great, doesn’t fit a pro controller but I always have my backpack so I can throw one in there

If you look on Amazon they're's a pretty thin plastic hardcase by Amazon basics which would be pretty good for commuting

[this guy](AmazonBasics Vault Case for Nintendo Switch, Red https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B073486QF5/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_ypBADbT5CR76K)

i use this one

I can throw it in a bag, and really not worry about it getting knocked around to much.

Only holds the system and some games you won’t fit extra controllers or anything else in there

> > isn't too flashy with switch logos.

logo or not, these cases all scream "nintendo switch" since there currently is nothing else that has quite these(long thin rectanglesque dimensions

you could use one that has deliberately a different form factor https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Travel-Storage-Nintendo-Switch-Yellow/dp/B074C83C5T/ the red one could probably be made to look like a medkit

or there is one that looks like a toolbox https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Vault-Case-Nintendo-Switch-Red/dp/B073486QF5/ and you could probably put a screwdriver & wrench sticker on it to add to the illusion

for generic cases, make sure they're not pressing any buttons (particularly the joycon shoulder buttons, and analog sticks). otherwise the switch might wake inside the case and overheat

I bought this one, it is a hard plastic shell.

AmazonBasics Vault Case for Nintendo Switch, Red https://www.amazon.com/dp/B073486QF5/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fIsRBbHFJHS3X

I got it for way cheaper than currently listed, it was actually an add on item then. Just saying that the price fluctuates wildly if you wanted to watch it for awhile.

I just use the cheap AmazonBasics one and remove the flappy thing.

they also have this smaller neon yellow Switch travel case for $5.27.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074C4SN8H

I have a similar case. You can't dock it with the case on, so I also got a dock extender. Now the dock itself is tucked away behind my TV stand and I use the cord to dock it. It's been working great for months now.

Thanks so much for the pics, I appreciate you taking them for me. The case looks like it aligns pretty well and good build. Is it easy to take on and off?

Fakespot is a site that analyzes amazon product reviews to determine if the reviewers are fake or not. It is not a for sure thing ofcourse, just a warning.

I ordered it just now to see it for myself. I bought this one, https://www.amazon.com/YCCTEAM-Nintendo-Switch-Case-Protective/dp/B075CDW965/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8 and it arrived today and I am not completely impressed, the handles don't seem to stop the cramp so hopefully these larger ones will be good. I looked at the switch grip but that is expensive as hell.

Looks pretty similar to the skull and co case but idk.

It's the reason I bought a switch and I love it. Handheld + indie games = amazing. I enjoyed handheld without a case but I bought one because I wanted to keep my switch in as good of shape as I could. I bought YCCTEAM Nintendo Switch Case and I can never go back, it fits perfectly for me and feels great.

I've got this one. It comes in a few different side colors if you want something more than just black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075YCWQSF/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_lj4wCbTK2KKJ4

I have a Butterfox ($8) case that I love and they also have a larger one ($13) on amazon. They both hold 19 games which is pretty sweet. Not sure if you could find a card case that fits for ~$5 but I would go for the convenience of one of these cases.

Yeah I got a good pair of Sennheiser headphones.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075YCWQSF/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=A2SKJWZFXSLPUZ&psc=1

Case I'm going with.

My Butterfox (compact,not L or XL) holds my switch, 4 joycons (straps attached or loose), and my google pixel charger/cable (i'm pretty sure you can get a switch charger in there too). I did remove one of the flaps for games since i'm all digital, now there's plenty of room in there.

Think this is the one

Could use some advice on basic accessories.

Looking at https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B076HT7KL3 but the reviews suggest the items are a bit spotty. It's a great price but I'm hesitant given those.

Core items I'm looking for are screen protectors, carrying case, and some kind of grip/protective case.

Orzly make a case for their grip.
https://www.amazon.ca/Switch-Accessories-Orzly-Essentials-Nintendo/dp/B076HT7KL3/ref=mp_s_a_1_2?keywords=orzly&qid=1571866724&smid=A2MON78869CZ14&sr=8-2

Their essentials pack is really good value, 30 CAD for a grip, case, 2 screen protectors, a stylus/pen, earbuds and a game case. What sort of grip do you have?

I bought this one. No complaints.

Also this one, but maybe more than you need. Smatree Hard Carrying Case N600 Compatible for Nintendo Switch-Fit for Pro Controller/Ultimate Edition Pro Controller https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B0772MQ43V/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_cVc6BbT993AAY

I've bought this one from Amazon...

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B077V9B7C6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_Wd1ZAbER36BGG

It doesn't have a stand built in, but it has a 'cut out' on the back so you can use the stand that's built into the Switch. The case is sort of a rubbery/silicone material, so it's easy to take off & put on, without it being loose. The extra trip is good too.

Since I got a Orzly case, I decided to keep purchasing product from that brand, and I grabbed their comfort grip for handheld use. Pretty basic, but for its price it's pretty decent. It's made in good materials, and it isn't floppy at all! I really like the design too!

Check out this Orzly case.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B077V9B7C6

Is there a ultra thin case to protect just the body of the switch (the tablet part only) or a 3 Piece with Joycons still detachable that can fit the Butterfox case comfortably something like this? Or is the Switch better off naked (without a case)? Also are these PDP Gel Guards worth it even with all the bad reviews?

Edit: A Word

So I am looking to order a case soon for my Switch, and have mostly settled on ordering one from FYOUNG via Amazon. I came across two that seem to be the same, but are priced differently and have separate listings. To anyone that has used one of these cases before, is there one to choose over the other? I noticed a slight difference to the cutouts near the rear ventilation, but that's all. Thanks!

Fit with my glass screen protector and the dock.

I assume you're looking for something like this? I wouldn't risk docking with it on despite the claim to be dockable though. Rather be safe than sorry.

It was in the TEENY TINY case inside my bigger switch case. Tried everything. Must have fallen out in the street or the moving truck. If someone found it (LL or moving truck company) they lied to me about not having it.

I love that game SO MUCH that when my switch broke 100 hours in, I happily started right over again when my save-data was wiped. I was 150 hours in before I lost the game. I’m just glad that when I can afford to buy it again my saves will still be there cause I was in the middle of a big korok seed hunt!

Throw it in my backpack with laptop and I'm set for the day.

Zelda is a no brainer. If he's never played Binding of Isaac go with that one. Honestly, I would stop there. Zelda will keep him busy for a long time.

I would strongly recommend an official Nintendo carrying case. He's going to want to travel with it at some point. Have a doctors appointment, got to go get your car inspected, or anything else where you have to sit and wait? The Switch is perfect and the carrying case is big for it. The small one that carries just the Switch will do. You don't need the $30 one that carries even the dock. He'll like this one or this one.

The next question is physical vs digital. Does your boyfriend like to collect physical copies of games or just download them? Check for one of his existing systems. Does he have a huge library of physical games or does he just have the console? If he is a digital guy you may want to consider an SD card of 128 GB or 256 GB.

The Pro controller is great, but it costs about $70. If it is in your budget get it. It is great.

There’s a photo of the switch in the case on the amazon page

You're absolutely right. That's probably the best case to get if you have a lot of carts, I just didn't like the thickness. Even though it really isn't very thick for what it is.

The one that inspired me to do the project was this one. It is just too big and thick for what it carries.

Thanks. Ah I see its the design I chose.

If you’re needing a heavy duty case to protect your switch I’d definitely recommend this one!

It feels great and it’s easy to pop on and off.


There is also another case that can hold games and has a pouch that can hold chargers/extra joycons! Plus your switch with this other case can fit inside with it on!

I have the same hard case you use, and this carrying case

Just bought a new switch and wanted to know what this sub's opinions are on the following.

- Screen protector
- Carrying case, thinking between Mumba Blade + Caseand Skull & Co Grip Bundle (other suggestions welcome)
- Must have accessories
- Must have games

Looking for insight on the Mumba Carry Case. I would probably get this and either the Mumba or Smatree protective case. Would an 8bitdo controller (either the N30 Pro 2 or SN30 Pro) fit in the top pocket safely without pressing against the joysticks? Thanks!

I find this one REALLY beautiful, but I already have this one

I have this one https://www.amazon.com/Carrying-Nintendo-Portable-Professional-Protective-Cartridges/dp/B07DW27D1K

It's affordable, good quality, and looks nice.

How about this one?

Otherwise just search Nintendo Switch Pouch on Amazon and have a scroll.

I use the RDS deluxe case but I’m thinking of swapping to the tomtec case:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07HCZ6BN5/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_ya0rDbFSNHJFD

Quick question about tomtoc cases. I really like the look/form factor of these but I am torn between the slim and the larger case. I like the minimalism of the slim but the larger is $2 cheaper for what seems to be more. Does anyone have experience with both?

How many of you are using a grip on your switch? Any recommendations and is it mandatory?

Also, I just bought this ultra slim protective case from Tomtoc, on a lightning deal for $16.99, and I really do like it and how slim it is. But I also saw that Tomtoc had this case that came with a free grip for the same if not lesser price than the ultra slim. What do you guys think. I’ve only had my switch for about a week and probably gonna play 60-70% in console mode and the rest handheld. What’s nice about the ultra slim is that it fits in a couple of my shoulder bags when I take on the go.

I need to buy both a grip + a case for my switch. How well does that grip you linked fit inside the Tomtoc case?

I picked up this case for something simple but attractive:
https://www.target.com/p/nintendo-174-switch-game-traveler-deluxe-travel-case-brown/-/A-52235197

I really wanted the blue version of it from Amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Switch-Game-Traveler-Deluxe-Travel/dp/B01N6S888E/
but it was $50 (and also out of stock) when I was looking.

It has 2 little cases that hold 4 game cartridges each, and a zippered pouch big enough for the joycon straps and a pair of wired earbuds.

I noticed you don’t have a case, may I suggest this one?

Does anyone have experiences with this carrying case:

https://www.amazon.de/Orzly-Tragetasche-kompatibel-Nintendo-Switch/dp/B01NAUKS62/ref=sr_1_2?__mk_de_DE=%C3%85M%C3%85%C5%BD%C3%95%C3%91&keywords=orzly+switch+carrying+case&qid=1567172398&s=gateway&sr=8-2

Recommended or not? Its quite cheap and seems to fulfill my needs, but I don't want to buy twice. I mainly want it for transport from A to B, not necessarily to play in it.

EDIT: https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B072PW59TZ/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_2?smid=A3JWKAKR8XB7XF&psc=1 this one seems quite nice too, since its even cheaper.

Anyone here using a grip-style case like this?

Can you tell me if it helps mitigate the slight wobble of the Joycons? That is the one thing about the Nintendo switch that drives me nuts.

I'd agree with you, although seeing how there's only 18 reserved spots for the $49 version, that may be a reason for it being overlooked.

As for an additional grip, there's pretty much a hundred options to choose from, with a pretty good one only being $7.99

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B077V9B7C6/ref=sspa_dk_detail_2?psc=1&pd_rd_i=B077V9B7C6&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_p=1713835751726239774&pf_rd_r=CFN1HSJA0KBPF5E5YQDY&pd_rd_wg=YQi7B&pf_rd_s=desktop-dp-sims&pf_rd_t=40701&pd_rd_w=Q8h3a&pf_rd_i=desktop-dp-sims&pd_rd_r=147af2cf-6097-11e8-a668-ed0ada30d19e

Add that with the powerbank I mentioned earlier:

https://www.amazon.com/Portable-RAVPower-22000mAh-Li-polymer-Smartphone/dp/B01G1XH46M/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?ie=UTF8&qid=1527306595&sr=8-1-spons&keywords=anker+usb+c+power+bank&psc=1

You have your own makeshift case for nearly half. Granted you may need some tape or glue if you really intent on having the powerbank stick to the case.

I was under the impression that skins would damage the finish and this affected both the console and the joycons. https://www.reddit.com/r/NintendoSwitch/comments/5xc5si/warning_do_not_skin_your_nintendo_switch/

I assume you are just trying to keep the switch thin and light so no hard cases? https://www.amazon.com/Compatible-FYOUNG-Protective-Accessories-Protector/dp/B078NB6TWZ/

This is what I’m using:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N6S888E/ref=twister_B01N14XHML?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

It has pockets that can hold some loose carts, and comes with two small transparent plastic cart cases that can hold 4 carts each, which are stored in fitted slots underneath the Switch.

If you recover or replace it, pick up one of these. It just looks like a generic case, and folks don't pay it much attention. Plus you can drop it down a flight of stairs and it'll be fine. Plus, no identifying logos like some other cases.

Hey jerburt, I have a Switch travel case I could trade you for Crash if you're interested. I don't have pictures of it on Imgur 'cause I haven't been trying to trade it, but it's kind of like this one but with more of a cloth-ish exterior and it isn't made by Amazon.

https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Carrying-Case-Nintendo-Switch-Black/dp/B072PW59TZ/ref=sr_1_12?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1541553635&sr=1-12&keywords=nintendo%2Bswitch%2Bcase&refinements=p_89%3AAmazonBasics&th=1

If you're interested, I can take pictures of it and post them here. Crash isn't a very valuable game so I figure this would be an even trade. Thank you for your time and have a good day!
