Heres why every Switch 2 owner needs one. FULL STORY ====================================================================== I have a confession to make. For all of the years Ive spent with my trusty Nintendo Switch (the Animal Crossing edition, Ill have you know), Ive never once bought a case for it. I know Im a fool. See, I was just so reluctant to spend my hard-earned cash on something Id long considered to be a boring purchase. Much of the time, Id just wrap my console up in a sweater, cram it into my backpack, and take it on the go. Im shocked its still going, honestly. But after getting my hands on a Nintendo Switch 2 , I decided things had to change. No more running. I was going to get a case and keep my shiny new console safe. And owning a case for my Switch 2 has been an absolute game-changer its been a much-needed acquisition, and not only because of the protection it offers. Now, Im convinced. Everyone should buy a case for their Nintendo Switch 2 heres why. Protection, portability, and play (Image credit: Future) So, lets get the obvious stuff out of the way. Yes, a good case is necessary to keep your console safe. And given Nintendos latest hardware has a list price of $449.99 / 395.99 / AU$699.95, youre gonna want to keep it protected against falls, impact, and scratching. And the case I use every day Nacon Protection Case XL for Nintendo Switch 2 has given me peace of mind, and then some. But theres so much more I love about my trusty Switch 2 case. Perhaps the best aspect is its ability to house not only my console, but also my Switch 2 dock and accessories. Yes, this model, as well as Nintendos official all-in-one case, is spacious enough to house everything youll need to set up your Switch 2 in TV mode. And as someone who doesnt really like playing in handheld mode that much, thats a wonderful thing. Now, I can safely transport everything I need to play at a friends house the console, dock, HDMI cable, and AC adapter with no hassle or fear of scuffing. I can even fit in my Hori Piranha Plant Camera for Nintendo Switch 2 , as well, which is handy if I want to play Mario Party Jamboree + Jamboree TV s additional minigames, for example. Similarly, I really like the storage my case offers for game cartridges. Before, Id just stash a bunch of cartridges into my Super Smash Bros. Ultimate game case. But now, I can keep my copies of Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza secure and easy to distinguish by sliding them into small pockets on my carry case. And thats something that so many models offer too. Plenty of enticing options (Image credit: Future) So yes, Im a big fan of the case I use, day in, day out. But Im glad to report that there are a number of other strong options worth checking out. One that scored well here at TechRadar was the Nacon Hard Carrying Case for Nintendo Switch 2 . We were impressed with its robust construction, understated looks, and more than reasonable price. It doesnt offer enough room to transport your dock, but if youre looking to play in handheld mode on a train or plane, then it will certainly do the job. Another one weve spoken highly of is the Belkin Charging Case for Nintendo Switch 2 . We loved this models inclusion of a 10,000mAh power bank, which is a great inclusion given the consoles underwhelming battery life in handheld mode. It also comes in a range of chic colors, 12 game slots, and a kickstand groove for tabletop play. We found it to be plenty durable enough, too, so this ones a massively attractive package. Weve not tried out the official Nintendo carry case or all-in-one case just yet, but theyre available now if you want to keep your beloved Switch 2 safe. Were hoping to take a look at them shortly, so make sure you stay tuned! So, there you have it. A case is a must-buy in my view but what do you think? Have you got a case for your Switch 2 yet? Maybe youve been putting it off and been using the sweater wrap technique? Well, whatever the case (*nudge* *wink*), Id be interested to hear from you, so make sure to get chatting in the comments!
