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

I hadn't even thought about a case.
Might just grab the official Nintendo one when I pick up my Switch.

Regarding a screen protector, I think the need for one really depends on a lot of factors: how you use your Switch (is it a carry-around portable, or just something you pull out of the dock to play around your house), how you treat it, as well as how susceptible the screen is to scratching in the first place.
I've probably said it before in this thread, but I got the Nintendo case in part because of the included screen protector. So I'll apply it and then see if I hate it. In general, I can't stand them. But my kids will be playing the Switch, and surely it will go with us on vacation this summer for play in the car. So I like the idea that the screen will be protected.
(On the other hand, my first-gen iPad, which has been in use by the kids for several years now, has a couple of scuffs and one scratch, but they're nearly unnoticeable while the screen is in use... and they're likely to be supervised more while using the Switch... never mind the fact that they're also several years older and in theory more careful).

Thank you for these beautiful posts but I don't see any word backing up the "this is ugly and you're wrong because I say it's ugly" theory.
Running with the same words all over again with no explanation doesn't change the vacuousness of that kind of post. Lying (where did I "scream" ?) and avoiding the points that are not in your favour (the underwear thing) won't change that either. Grow up.

Oh hell yeah! Thank you! Really looking forward to your video on the backpack. Please post it here.

I wanna know what the backpack looks like. Also I wish it didnt have the branding. Without that it'd actually be pretty sharp looking
I mean ... people are allowed to think something is ugly. You're really overreacting to what was a pretty harmless comment.
I passed on this edition too because I thought the case was pretty ugly and gaudy looking, and that rubberized material will likely get pretty gross over time.

I'm still thinking of which to get. I like the internals of the PDP mario and zelda cases. But I don't like the outside.
What's your budget for stuff to review?
Posted this one earlier but no pic, so here goes again with a pic:

Just a front flip cover thing like the Apple iPad covers, looks like it has vents for the top and can stay attached while docked, vs the other folio ones that presumably need to be taken off. Curious how it attaches, like if there's some points or just...sticks on?
There's also a bunch of other Japanese products that I haven't seen on Amazon (US at least).
Just catching up on this thread and wanted to say thanks for mentioning this, exactly what I've wanted since the Switch form factor was revealed. Those types of covers work great for tablets and should be a natural fit for the Switch.

Just gone with this one https://www.gameseek.co.uk/pd/video...switch-nintendo-switch-stealth-eva-carry-case
Will do me for the time being. Suspect I will invest in a better one in the future

I think with the bulk of your hands being on the joycons and maybe the lower few fingers resting against the flipped back cover, it won't be too annoying.
I have a folio style case for my iPad and it's a little annoying to have it flapping back there when it's open, but I also have all my fingers on it which doesn't feel the best. I'd get a similar style case for the Switch, but anything that surrounds the tablet part completely I'm sure won't let it fit in the dock.
I just need to know how this thing attaches itself to the Switch. Magnets would be cool, but I don't know if the Switch supports that like the iPad.

According to the questions on the surge case, it's 1 inch less deep than the RDS case, which is good for me since I've gotta fit it into my messenger bag.
How tall are the joysticks, do we know?

Please post impressions. I'm holding out for reviews.
I think I am going for this one as well. It seems like it is the cheapest hard cover one available. Maybe I missed one though.

Meh is it strange I still can not find a Switch case I like?
That's what I'm getting as well. Love the design. And 14 game cart slots is very nice.
I might also buy a Hori tough case later on, for times when I want something more protective. Will decide once I actually have the PDP one in person.

In addition I have the Zelda collectors edition which comes with a case for the entire system.
this was my plan right here
are there any flaws with this plan that i am not aware of

I'm getting it too but I know that the case looks pretty damn horrendous. I'll probably buy something better in the future.

oh, it'll prolly be in my bag so i don't mind the aesthetics - do we know how it looks inside, as far as slots for games/etc?

I have this preordered (I'm worried you can't dock with it but I will be playing undocked a large % of the time so its okay)
In addition I have the Zelda collectors edition which comes with a case for the entire system.
I also ordered the special edition, but every time I see that cream colored eye - I cannot unsee a penis.
Insert thatsapenis gif lol
So, I also ordered this:
Wow so the seller is called AVIDET UK but is actually Chinese and based in Guangdong so this thing wouldn't be arriving until the end of March. That's a kind of dishonest seller name.

You should probably go see a therapist
I'm going with the PDP case but I really wish they'd update us on the shipping date though. They're still listed as being released on March 3 but have a notation on the bottom of the page saying that orders placed after 2/7 might not be fulfilled until May. I ordered mine on 2/8 so I'm hoping I still make the cut.

Oh my god this is fantastic, literally the exact kind of thing I've wanted - just a cover, not an entire suitcase. Really hope this comes to the UK at some point, although I suppose I could just get it from play asia if it doesn't.

I've looked everywhere and I haven't seen a switch with a wrist strap. I love it on my Vita, it's saved it from multiple fall over time. I hope there is a way to hook one up.
I've gone for this one :
I prefer the look over the official one and you also get some game cases...
I pre-ordered that one, also.
Just wait for Mike to go back to Japan.
So, I also ordered this:
Just ordered this in the UK. Doesn't seem bad for £20. Especially with the game cases, sd card cases and protection for the full system. Should do me for a while. If there's times when I bring the whole system with dock then I'll just carry those separately.
Oh of course why didn't I think of that

I wanna say Reggie showed it off on the treehouse stream during the Switch reveal.
Edit: https://youtu.be/xA5MeNTnTQY at 3 min they show it off. Looks like 12 slots for games among storage for other things

The box for the official case is shown in this video (including close ups of the instructions on the back): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLe9e2Md-kY
Looks bigger than I expected.

I was expecting a cheap case, but this actually looks cool. Tabletop mode stand and game card holders are a big plus for me.
