Topic: Nintendo Switch Carrying Case

Of course, the Switch is going to be portable regardless, but won't you also want a convenient way of carrying the dock and accessories, too? This will be useful for when you want to travel to another location for TV use; plus it will keep the system protected.

So, how would one work? What would your ideal carrying case be like? What would it hold, and how many?

I'm debating with myself whether the system would be inside the dock while in the case. The big advantage here is that the case would be really small while carrying both; however, would it be secure this way, or would it jangle around too much? Plus, what would you do if you didn't want to take the dock with you?

I guess my ideal case would hold system inside the dock, plenty of carts the same way the 3DS case does, and a pocket that could hold abou two joy cons, two pro controllers, and all cords. It would be big, but probably no bigger than a tackle box.

I'd like it as small as possible - just a felt-lined hard shell to protect it while it's rattling around in my bag.

Anyone found any good cases yet? This is the best looking one ive found so far http://www.game.co.uk/en/nintendo-switch-starter-kit-link-s-t...

@ChrispyNoodle That looks pretty good! I hope the one that comes with the special edition of BotW can carry plenty of games.

Not gonna lie. I preordered the SE version of BoTW for the case (and I can't find the ME version for preorder).

@Ryu_Niiyama I did it for the Soundtrack, and I was going to drop money on a case anyway.

@Nicolai Power-A is making this: Best Buy—Power A - Everywhere Messenger Bag for Nintendo Sw.... It looks to carry just about everything. That they list it as "black" suggests there might be other colors coming as well.

@toxibunny Also, haven't seen this anywhere else: Wal-Mart—Nintendo Switch Carrying Case and Screen Protector. Walmart lists a compact Nintendo-brand carrying case for a Nintendo Switch with Joy-Cons attached. I think this is what I'll get the system with.

ive gone ahead and pre ordered this one. http://www.game.co.uk/en/nintendo-switch-starter-kit-link-s-tunic-edition-1791227?cm_mmc=affiliate--tradedoubler--nintendolife.com-_-banner

One of the reasons I'm trying to get the SE of BotW is the case - it looked lovely in the Treehouse segment, it had space for game cartridges and it looked as a well made hard case.

I ordered this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N10SBT4/ref=oh_aui_detai...

It's really nice looking.

@DylanMcGrann: I feel like I'll need something like that at some point. 40 bucks, though...

The HORI Touch Pouch seems like the real deal:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MR63I6F/ref=sr_1_31?s=videogames...

However it's only available in the U.S so far. Nintendo's own Accessory Set looks nice, but it's difficult to tell it's a hard or soft case. One nice feature is that it has a built in stand; see the bottom image:

Here's the one I'm getting
https://www.amazon.com/PDP-Nintendo-Switch-Premium-Console-Ca...

Also the backpack
https://www.amazon.com/PDP-Nintendo-Switch-Elite-Player-Backp...

That backpack is cute, but I would need to see some pictures of the straps. I honestly don't need to buy anymore bags. I have a collection of messenger bags. I may pick up the bag of holding from thinkgeek (I have the handbag version) because that thing can hold just about anything.

I just preordred the tunic case as well. I like the pdp kits because they have handles.

Amazon UK has a slew of new accessories available, including those from HORI (previously advertised in US/JP), Snakebyte and Giotek!

I ended up going with this one:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01MY9JB2U/ref=oh_aui_detai...

I almost went with the Pro controller + Case bundle at Gamestop, but I want to see what I think of the joycons in the grip first.

@Emperor-Palpsy
Yeah there's so many different accessories on Amazon that it's making my head spin trying to figure out which ones to prioritize first. I really love the Zelda case best, because it's nice and small. (plus I love Zelda, and the design is awesome).

Some of the ones you mentioned looked good for the extra things like headphioens etc, it's actually the screen I'm the most worried about. The bags and cases will help to some extent, but to me is still quite vulnerable at this stage. And most of the packs you see only come with regular screen protectors which won't do much except protect it against fingerprints and light scratches.

But was quite pleased to discover that Orzly do a really good toughened glass screen protector (like the one I have for my phone, which is awesome!!) -Those things are solid, so stops the screen actually getting broken, so I'm going to make that one of my first accessories so that I don't find myself in a situation where I have a switch but a broken screen during transport. (Because I will be bringing the handlheld bit of my Switch with me everywhere like I did with my 3DS). It was different with the 3DS, as the clam-shell design of that console protected its own screen, but as the switch's screen will be open, taking those extra steps to keep the screen safe is going to be extra important.

I liked this one best https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N9RG3XS because it has been designed to not obstruct it fitting in the charging hub (plus I have used their glass screens before on my phones, so I already know that theirs are going to be excellent quality)

I am hoping to get one like my 3DS case, hard shell and space for a few other carts.

Not a fan of bigger bags as they often advertise what you are carrying.

@mav-i-am HORI's Tough Pouch is the way to go I reckon. It's licensed and is cheaper than Nintendo's own, which doesn't look particularly rigid.

I think I'm gonna order this one! I love it!
