It'll fit. My Anker is 1" longer in length, 1/2" shorter in width and 1/4" shorter in height and I'm able to fit it, a 6ft USB-C right angle cable, tripod, Aukey PD wall charger, headphones and amiibo coin in my case, and it's the one seen here
But you'll fit more with the case I just showed you because it has a full mesh pocket that zips and fully encloses what's behind it, so you can stuff it to the brim.
Even so, the Aukey is only 5.6" x 4" x 1.1" so you can measure and see how much room it would take in your pouch

@JaxonH Okay. I actually ended up going with the Anker Powercore+ 20100 because of its smaller size. I figured I don't really need the huge amount of juice the Aukey has nor do I need the quicker charging because I just want to extend my battery life in the car. A question I did have though, could that Aukey Amp Duo charge my Anker battery using the C to C cable that comes with the Anker? I heard a couple of people saying the amp duo is not compliant and may damage certain products that are, but most other reviews about it have been positive.
@Giygas_95
The only thing you shouldn't use is the included cable with the Anker battery (very bad out of spec cables included with Anker PowerCore) The Aukey will charge it just fine though. Recommend using a different cable, one of the ones mentioned before.
There's very, very few PD chargers that are 100% in spec, but being out of spec doesn't necessarily mean dangerous. Nintendo's own Switch charger technically breaks the USB-PD spec, but it's fine to use. The ones that are dangerous have mostly been recalled or nailed to the cross in reviews from Benson.
@JaxonH Really? I thought the Benson Leung list of approved cables said Anker was in spec. What would be the problem with using the pack in cable? Would it not charge well?
@Giygas_95
The battery is, the cable isn't. He gives strong warning against the cable. It's out of spec and missing the 56k ohm resistors needed to ensure more power isn't drawn then the device can handle.
Not all "out of spec" devices are dangerous. But that cable is

Probably But you'd have to check his list. All I know for sure is Google, Apple and Amazon Basics are in spec, and that right angle cable creation one.
@JaxonH Sorry for the avalanche of questions, but you're just a super helpful guy. Wouldn't a USB 3.0 be better? I read that they can take more current than 2.0.
@JaxonH Okay then, I thought 3.0 could transfer more data as well as more current. Anyway, thanks for all the help, Jaxon. I really appreciate it. I think I'll get that cable, and I also have the Amp Duo coming in Friday. My Powercore+ will be here tomorrow also. If I don't like the charging speed though, I might send it back and get the Aukey 30000 instead.
@JaxonH Have you tested the Aukey battery yet? I was about to get the RavPower one until I checked this thread again and saw both the new Anker Powercore+ and Aukey batteries were being discussed. The Aukey is definitely tempting with the higher capacity but I have bought Anker products before and they are excellent quality. Do you think one is significantly better than the other?
Thanks for all of your contributions to this thread, it's so helpful!

Whatever you do, stay away from the RAVpower. I can confirm the Anker Power Delivery battery is top shelf and yields 18-20W at peak. I don't own the Aukey, but I do know someone who bought it on my recommendation, and his tests showed a 20W peak, which is fantastic.

@JaxonH Yea I noticed that you mentioned the switch has to be in sleep mode for the RavPower to work, which is kind of a pain. I think I will try the Aukey since it's also decently cheaper.
Also is this the right angled cable you recommended? (I'm aware it's amazon.ca cause I live in Canada.. the selection is sadly much less than .com)
The Aukey is thicker but shorter length than the Anker. Unfortunately the Anker has been sold out, though it may be back in stock by now. Shipment was supposed to come late May. But it's cheaper, and just as good so, it's a solid choice.
The right angled cable is great because it allows you to charge in portable mode with the $10 iVAPO tripod, which is extremely compact and portable. If you have no intentions of charging them portable mode and don't plan on buying that tripod then you don't really need the right angled cable. But for an extra $10 I don't really see any reason not to get the tripod.

Dpes marks means something is wrong? Not sure what I did to get them, but would like to know if it looks stoill safe to use it. https://m.imgur.com/hHae75J
Which is the best USB-extension cable to use with the Dock and Switch? Ideally I am looking for one sold on Amazon UK. I've been researching for ages, but I can't find one that has been confirmed to be good. All I seem to find are scare stories about dodgy cables!
