Lucky Japanese gamers will soon able to pick up a series of charming smartphone cases from My Nintendo. They will cost 50 Gold points each.
The Limited Pochi Bag has a 8bit Mario design and is free, you just need to pay the postage. Reasonable!
The Smartphone Cases have a 30% discount with four Animal Crossing: Pocket Camp designs on offer. There is also a tempting Splatoon Grizzco Industries case along with a The Legend of Zelda design available.
Would you like to adorn your phone with one of these charming cases? Let us know if you would like this offer to come to your regional My Nintendo store with a comment below. It probably won't happen, but still.

Meh, it sucks they get all the neat stuff but what can you do?
Okay, for which smartphone that fit with those case ?
What's new? Japan always gets the best stuff, very often cheaper too.
Bring em here!!
It'd be neat if they'd put phone cases on the other Nintendo Stores, given it's not much different from them selling plushies/clothing/etc there anyway...
(Also, it's not a "pay 50 gold coins, get the case" dealio, in case anyone's reading it that way, the 50 gold coins is just for a 30% off voucher for the cases, still gotta pay however much the rest of the case is, plus the shipping... Either way, still would be neat if they had a similar offering and vouchers available elsewhere)
@Anti-Matter based on the cutout for the camera, I’d say iPhone 7 & 8. Most androids have the camera centered on the back of the phone. Just a guess though.
@Anti-Matter Depends on the case, but looking at their store... The book-style ones are for any phone that'll fit in 150 mm x W 75 mm x D 10 mm (they have an adhesive part to hold the phone in), whilst the others are listed for iPhones 6/6S/7/8.
Nintendolife has time to report about smartphone cases, but those latest NPD results? Nope, no time for those... Wonder why? Could it be because of the NS doing badly?
Come on Nintendo, why make the switch region free but not the rewards? Just not fair (but not unexpected)
My Nintendo rewards have been absolutely terrible compared to what you could get on Club Nintendo.
I understand they love their home country but come on. Best crap we get is very occasional limited options on old indie games on Wii U and 3DS
The Isabelle one is dang classy!
iPhone only?
The Zelda case costs 2086 yen plus tax AFTER the 30% discount. The only free item is the 5 envelope pack with Mario on them.
@Mahe Yup! Nintendo Life are notorious for not reporting on negative Nintendo news, that's why they shut down between 2012 and 2016 while Wii U was out.
Why Reggie hate us? Thanks to us, the fans/consumers; is why he keeps getting pay so why he hate us?
@Mahe Conspiracy!! N Life is hiding Switch sales that are already release by NPD!! Shame on u N Life, shame.
These are cool, of course only Japan gets them.
@Mahe 800k in one month in the USA, despite being sold at full price while the other consoles were basically thrown at the consumers, is "doing badly"? Reaching 10 million worldwide sales in 9 months, on par with PS4's first year and with Christmas sales still to come, is "doing badly"? I smell low quality troll here
I have 70 odd Gold point-things on my My Nintendo and literally no reason to spend them. I'd love an AC phone case!
@Mahe You do realize that Thomas or Damien writes the NPD results normally... clearly this article was written by someone else. They probably just are still working on the article, considering the difference in work between a smartphone article and an NPD one.
@Mahe "Could it be because of the NS doing badly?"
Oh come on, if you are going to make a post like that at the very least put in a link. Link's are easy, copy and paste, it's not as hard as embedding a pic. And then if you are going to ask a leading question like that give your thoughts on an answer. As far as I can tell after reading a few sites I googled it wasn't a bad month for Switch hardware b/c no one has released sales figures on hardware yet ,and the software was just fine as well if you take into account install bases, mutliplats and exclusives.
If you think something bad happened then just say it, don't beat around the bush, beating around the bush is borderline trollish behavior.
Here's a random meaningless link for ya that's just as valid as your own post: "another successful month for Nintendo."

@link3710 Don't mind him, I just went through his comment history and it's one of the most cringey things I've ever read. I don't really understand why he hasn't been banned yet, since all he does is saying "muh PS4 is better than Switch!1!!!!!11!1!". Good thing there's an "ignore" button
I like that Zelda case.
@JJ286 - I think it might be a case of Reggie being NoJ's little b..... There's probably a lot that he doesn't get a say in.
Another hot take from @Mahe , in an article about smartphone cases nonetheless! Go away sad little troll
Edit: "NS install base is still mostly Nintendo fans and early adopters. The mass market audience buys a lot of their systems in November, and the low sales for NS this month show that they're currently not very interested in the system."
Another delusional post added to the long running list. Utterly pathetic paranoid fanboyism
@Mahe you pretty much embarrass yourself every single time you make a comment... Keep it up it's pretty hilarious for the rest of us. Your bitterness is generally a sign Nintendo are doing great actually
So after making my Pocket Camp character look like me, I can now look like my character with that first Animal Crossing case. (They hold up smartphones when accessing some menus.)
Japan get all the cool stuff 😔
My Nintendo finally gets physical rewards...and they're Japan-only. They're nice eye candy, at least.
...How easy is it to learn Japanese and move to Japan?
I'd love for ANYTHING physical to return to the store. The only things they have are backgrounds, and codes for games I don't want because I either already own them, didn't want them, or was kinda on the fence but was willing to go without. Even with points expiring, I only got two titles from the third group, and that was back in the Club Nintendo days.
I really want that grizzco one
@Dazza "Japan continues to get the good stuff"
SOMETIMES My Nintendo in Japan gets good stuff. Usually I read about discounts on the eShop in America or Europe here on Nintendo Life and think, "gee, I wish we could get stuff like that here instead of waiting months just to get offered small discounts on a very small selection of games that I either already own or haven't gained any interest in since the last time they offered a discount on those exact same games." Also, these phone cases don't fit my phone.
