What is your Switch travel case solution (if any)?

Oh I see. It's exactly like the Tunic Zelda case I have, which I freaking hate. It's oversized for the Switch, so it slides left and right in it. I HATE IT.
I assume the Sheikah case is exactly the same, since it looks.... exactly the same.

I just tried this Monster Hunter leather pouch and the Switch fits nicely in there. I finally have a use for the pouch after years of it sitting in the drawer. (I keep the joycons in a separate smaller box)

I bought the official one from Best Buy just to have a case and screen protector right from the start. Honestly I'm pretty happy with it. The screen protector is fine and nothing really special. There's enough room in the case for both wrist straps and your earbuds. But not enough for the charge cable. You'll have to throw that in your bag along with this case. It has a felt lining that forms a protective pocket around the edges, and there's a little space between that "pocket" and the zipper, so it's cushioned for falls pretty well I'd say. But it's soft and not hard, keep in mind.
It's fine if you want safe and conservative. But I'll probably eventually replace it with something a little larger that I can also keep the charging cable in.

Is this Japan only? Damn that looks clean.

It does hold the straps. It´s even stated on the packaging I think.
Picked up this case as well, it's great!

It doesn't fit well at all unless you force it. I tried it and I didn't feel comfortable closing the case at all.

I ended up getting the RDS case. It's really nice. And only thing I don't like is the game cases are stored behind the switch and you can hear it rattle when you shake it. I will prob put a cleaning cloth between the game cases and my switch
I want this, how can I get?

Well, no Problems with it on my end.
Ordered the Butterfox case earlier today, should hopefully be here this week. It seems very durable, looks nice, carries a ton of games and has a lot of extra storage room. Might be a bit on the bulkier side but it seems like it'll do everything I need it to do and then some. I'll post more impressions about it when it gets here.
It seems pretty cool. Hard outer shell, nice and soft on the inside. The 'pouch' is velvety on the back so it covers the screen without scratching it.
I still need a screen protector though. I've heard good things about the amFilm tempered glass ones, but they seem almost impossible to get in Australia, and the one site I've found that will ship them here would charge me ~$50 for it lol.

Any more impressions of the PDP case? I think that one looks great, but it sounds like maybe it would be better to go for the RDS one.
Oh, this one looks great actually. Might have to pick this one up.

I'm planning on making a Nintendo Switch "case-off" video where I compare different cases. I'll be showing off:
Official case
HORI tough pouch
Sheikah Slate case (aka the PDP case)
RDS case
I'm just waiting for the RDS case to be delivered to make the video. Hopefully it helps some people out!

don't be.
this things are meant to be used not coddled. so far every handheld and mobile phone has survived in decent conditions.
Oh. Perfect. I was actually waiting for this.
Is this the travellers one? Big w or JB hi-fi?
It's out on April 20th. I wonder if this front cover is thin enough to be slotted into the dock with the console instead of covering the front side like a flap.

Sooo the case I ordered still hasn't shipped and cases are sold out online all over the place. I'm gonna hit up some local stores today and see if i can find anything :/
I literally brought my Switch with me to work in a 3DS scrunchie bag it's all I have that can hold it. Vita cases are too small

Using my BOTW special edition case, brought the switch to work with me today and got 30 min of shovel knight in before the day started. Gonna play some BOTW on my lunch break.

I used this one and so far, no probes. No stratches when using the dock, finger prints, etc.
And a quick question for Switch-GAF:
Has anyone bought this case:

Do you put the switch inside or outside of the nylon lining? I know what the pic shows no has anyone have any problems with markings?

I'll probably go with this when I eventually pick up a switch.

Does the screen protector that comes with the official case have a removable film on both sides or is it just on the side with adhesive? I honestly can't tell..

I did but I didn't see a price anywhere. I guess I could've stuck one in the cart to see.

My Sheikah Slate Pouch holds everything I need. Can't be more happy about it.
Did you just pick up an 3rd party extra charger and USB-C adapter
My problem the RDS case is that it doesn't sit flat on a table. (Not a big deal ) However, the game cases at the bottom, one doesn't sit flat and wobbles, which makes the switch itself wobble a bit as well and not sit completely flat.
Have one more coming in to see if it is a wide spread problem or just mine was weird. If both are this way, I will just return both and wait until I find something else.

I bought the one in question and have been placing my switch in there when not used. So far no issues. You just have to stretch it up when inserting the nylon net part. I put the switch with joycon attached inside.
I means that when you put the switch in, the inside flap is supposed to (i think) cover the screen. The problem is that in order to unzip it where the switch is on the bottom, you have to open it what appears to be upside down, with the nintendo logo on top, and the Switch logo on the bottom.

I picked up the Nintendo branded basic cover that holds some games and can fold up into a stand, plus it comes with a screen protector.

So, I got the official case on launch day. It's a nice case, but you can't fit anything but the system and a few games in it.
Got my Zelda Master Edition case a day later. It fits everything in it, but the system doesn't fit snug (kind of slides around in there). I also don't like the way the middle partition lands on the system when closed.
Got the RDS case yesterday. Fantastic case that fits the system perfectly into the molded tray on the bottom. Games are stored in little plastic cases (up to 8), and the Joy-Con wrist straps fit nicely into the pouch. Unfortunately, I can't really fit a USB-C cable in there.
The RDS case is the best, but not really perfect.

I have the $14.99 PDP "Premium Console Case"and I would suggest everyone steer clear.
The net can be kinda tough to get the Switch in and out of and the zipper is positioned in a way that can seriously scratch your Switch (defeating the whole purpose of owning this case)

Damn. I ordered the normal grey one. Will cancel and find something else.

I got the official case because I wanted the most minimal one I could find. I like it fine except I do kind of wish I could fit 2 joycon straps in it better. An image on the box shows the straps fitting into the interior pouch, and they can go in there, but as a result the case bulges way too much for my liking. A fine case otherwise. The screen protector seems good so far too, though I'll probably replace it with tempered glass at some point.

Yea I really wanted to like this one, but it's just poorly designed. I'm gonna try the official Nintendo case and the RDS case next

So you're telling me yours does not bulge out in the area where the straps are stored? Because I can't put mine in without it bulging outward of the case which also means it's putting pressure down in the center on the screen. If it was designed to fit them, it wouldn't bulge out like that. There needs to be more room to allow the joycon straps to fit properly.

I want that RDS case, but i just missed out on the one that a local target had in stock.
I don't feel like paying $6 shipping from gamestop.
Maybe amazon will have more before too long.
