We've seen a wide range of Switch carry cases over the last few months, all offering different benefits to suit various types of gamers and situations. Now, this '3 Up' case from Villager Supplies is aiming to provide a stylish solution that suits the everyday lifestyle of busy adults, and a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign has now launched to get things started.
The idea behind the case is to ensure that it suits any scenario, "whether you’re off to work, meeting up with friends, or heading across the globe". One particularly interesting feature is its adaptability, with a range of carry modes allowing you wear the case however you like. It can be worn across your body either vertically or horizontally, and the strap can also be swapped for a lanyard or entirely removed.
The interior compartments include space for up to ten game cartridges, cables, and controllers, as well as space for your phone, keys, and other daily essentials. These all appear to fit rather nicely in their own zipped compartment which contains pockets to keep things suitably separated. The case is also reinforced with Poron XRD Technology, protecting your console from any extreme impacts.
You can check out the full Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign here, along with the pledge rewards you can receive and a video talking about the product's design stage. The project is aiming to generate AU $25,000 and has already received almost AU $7,500 at the time of writing with three weeks to go. There are still some early bird bundles available which list the case at a discounted price of AU $80 (approx. £44 / $58 USD).

Seems a bit pricey and gimmicky. I'm sure some people will find a use for it but I can't think of a time when I'd use this over just putting my existing case in my backpack.
Ooh...pretty !
I like that Aqua Blue color despite a bit pricey.
Don't look very stylish in my book, and i can't see any lady hold it.
Don’t think it looks great myself and the teal colour they are using in their promo material feels dated given it was a 3DS launch colour. Doesn’t fit the Switch well. Don’t think they grey is all too hot either and I’m surprised they haven’t gone with a black one.
It costs more but I much prefer my Waterfield Citislicker, and if there’s a case that’s going to have a “going to work” vibe I think that does a better job. Also supports lanyards, shoulder straps and the like if you want that flexibility. Costs more, but you can order today and not risk a kick starter. Otherwise there’s plenty of much cheaper alternatives.
Manbag/10
No ta.
Because we all know that when a woman puts on evening wear to attend a fancy party, she's definitely going to want to bring her Switch with her.
But seriously, this just looks like a fairly generic bag that I could buy off the shelf at Walmart.
My $15, BotW case is still holding up great a year later. This does have style, but I like my hard case.
Stylish, but I prefer ones that one can just toss into a larger bag. Having something in this shape and size around you seems gimmicky.
@RadioHedgeFund Beat me to it lol
Kinda looks like a very tiny person using a very large person’s hip pack as a purse.
No.
Well I kind of like the look of it And I don't really think the price is too high... The question is: Is it worth it for you? And for me the question was yes so I backed it... But thats just me... And I'm a shopaholic
No thanks, I'll stick with my fake leather Zelda one at a fraction of the price.
Is no one bothered by how not hard that enclosure really is? Is this just hipster central?
Really? It's just a small hangbag that adds nothing other Switch bags don't already have.
I'm amazed how many try to rip people off by adding the 'Switch' label ordinary products (microSD cards, powerbanks and now bags).
And worst of all, Nintendo Life help these scammers by writing advertising articles like this one.
More Kickstarter Crap
I'm into it. Most cases are too small for all the stuff I actually need to take, so then I end up needing to carry a backpack that's half empty. Not sure about the green but I do like the grey colour though.
@Moss_man We are going to do some stretch goal colours away, maybe a sneaky black.
@Anti-Matter We love the Village green as well, we have another colour called Super Grey. Check out the product walk through because i think the premium features worth the investment.
@sevnlabs Thanks for the support!
