Nintendo's new Splatoon 2-themed Switch case looks nuts, announced first for Japan

Gah why couldn't we have the Splatoon tank-bag design on one of the small pouches!?

It's a shame most of these accessories never seem to leave Japan.

I've seen those Quick Pouches on Amazon JP and are pretty much what I want from a case for my commute, but nothing on Amazon UK.

Yeah it's super annoying, I wanted to pick this case up at launch but I couldn't be bothered importing it.
I still don't have a case yet, I just use a Club Nintendo 3DS XL pouch.
 
Do we know of all these smaller cases fit the Switch with Joycons attached on or is it just the Switch alone?

Yup, they're designed for the Joy-Cons attached.

1) Got the Nintendo black soft case backordered for a while, there hasn't been a new shipment since launch, and 2 days ago I finally got an email about a release date. Guess it has everything to do with this second wave of cases.

2) Love the ARMS and Zelda ones, but still need the black one for discreetness.

3) Nintendo come ON make a proper portable dock/dongle so we don't have to carry that amount of plastic that is ok for home usage, but really adds bulk when travelling.

I guess looking at peoples screens is a faux pas? Obviously for phones yes but for games it's kind of silly. But maybe with the commuting culture in Japan people would like privacy?

I ride the train two hours everyday and I've had some be very curious about my switch but it doesn't bother me at all, and in fact sorta feels good like yea I got it, you want it, lol.
 
Unfortunately, In my experience, Privacy Filters only make people invade your personal space even more as they try to see what you're doing on your "blank" screen and they have to be right up on you to get a clear viewing angle.

The case is pretty nice if you want something to hold all of that. I'm fine with my case which just holds the system and some cables.

They have had this since the console was out. But it's good to have choices, right?

Interesting that you post that since it still says Nintendo Switch on the front. Makes it easy for people to identify what to steal. In any case that doesn't carry much. I like the idea of the Splatoon Switch case, just without any of the logos and splashy colors.

You really want a fight when there is none it seems.

I linked to a non-splatoon version of that case on the first page. Search 'Switch case' on ebay, amazon, aliexpress and see thousands of plain black cases available.

It's black on black with a different texture, it depends a lot on lighting and angle for readability.

You can always just cover it, but if this specialised Switch-stealing villain is worth his salt, he will recognise a Switch case just by its general shape and dimensions.

I'd want a case that doesn't tell everyone "I HAVE A NINTENDO SWITCH HERE!"

Yeah. I don't think Nintendo understands that the majority of people that have a Nintendo Switch right now aren't in elementary/middle school.

ok, I guess alternatives don't exist.

They're making first and third party alternatives for all sorts of people, why y'all getting bent over some colorful ones? And let's be honest, if a guy WAS going to steal your switch, not having the logo plastered on the outside wouldn't mask the incredibly unique shape of the fucking console lmao
