Got the RDS deluxe travel case and it's perfect. Very sturdy case and space for pretty much anything you'd need. The smell is a bit strong but I'm sure that will not be much of a problem after it has aired out.
I'm going with the hori. Because the inside has a groove for the joycon.
I just got the hori slim case above and the switch is loose inside compared to the official case from nintendo, I guess they designed it that way so that the clear case that they are bringing out would fit. Anyway just in case someone's interested, it's not what I expected.

Impressions of the mario starter kit? It seems to come with some gimmicky crap?
Is the Hori case a harder shell?

Damn. The groove is a plus. How loose are we talking here?

Hmm Interesting, I thought it had divided sections fro the Joycons when I first saw it (Was on my phone). Now on my desktop I see it's bands like the other cases have.
Still nice and I like that it has a mesh zipper pouch as well. The RDS one was nice, but it was missing a few small things like that.

If I slide the switch all the way on one side, the gap is around 1cm. If I slide it all the way to the bottom, the top is around 5mm.
Here's the side
Here's the top
The RDS does have a mesh zipper pouch.
That case in the photos looks pretty good, though. I like all the cart slots.
I got that one. It's nice, but my only nitpick about it is that the wrist strap was clearly made for children. Neither me or my fiance could fit or haha through it.
Has anyone used/purchased these?

I bought a screen protector for my One Plus One about 3 years ago from this same company, and its awesome, my screen is mostly scratch free, so I'm wondering if these will be good as well.
And also, just to make sure my screen will stay scratch free, I'm planning on ordering this guy:

Anyone have this?

Oh right sorry, I meant on the top side of the case. I don't think my charger and stuff would fit inside the RDS cases pouch. Thought with that being said I don't know if it will fit in this one either.

I got the Power A case, which is a bit like that, although I like that better. It wasn't really conducive to the dock unfortunately. I wonder if that one would work.
I ended up returning the Power A hybrid case.
Was thinking of getting a case like this. I'm carrying it in a bag so really all I want is something that'll protect it from the other contents in the bag. Also the pouch design is easier for taking the Switch out of the case while on transport where you don't have any surfaces.

the official case is really fine. It even has some room for the analog sticks. I can put it in my backpack without worries.
Yeah, i don't think you can dock with this guy on, right? I'll use the switch exclusively as handheld (since my tv died a bit ago), so I guess I don't have the need to dock it.

Are there any cases available anywhere? Seems like everything is sold out on Amazon..
Local stores sold out as well.

I got really lucky when I just happened to find the RDS case at Toys R Us a couple of days ago.
Seems like cases sold out fast everywhere.

Thanks a lot for the info, was on the verge of importing.
What a shame, it's the best looking case so far
So does anyone know where we can find the official nintendo case? I bought one at launch but ended up returning it thinking I could find something a bit better, but at this point I think it is the case I want. Not finding it anywhere online
Edit: Literally seems to be out of stock everywhere. Looks like I fucked up by returning it so quickly. Stupid move on my part.

This is what I picked off Amazon over the weekend. It arrived yesterday. It won't really get too much use until my next business trip at the end of the month.

Got the Zelda Sheikah Slate case in the special edition, so I'm set.

It seems all the good ones are sold out everywhere. Guess I have wait and use the Sheikah Slate in the mean time. It works but it's a bit.... garish.
Hori Tough Pouch
I bought one of these last night (along with a Hori Screen Protector)

A few people in here are displaying their case set ups with 3rd party chargers.
Any recommendations? I just want to be sure what I buy will charge just as quickly as the pack in charger.

I picked up the Surge carrying case from Amazon, and while it functions just fine, the thing smells like some unholy combination of chemicals and musty cigarettes. It was sitting on the end table next to my sofa and I could smell it from there. I think I'm going to return it for the Butterfox case. I have their vita case and it does the job.

Is there anything kind of like the Waterfield case, but designed to only hold the switch + attached joycons? (instead of also gamecards, straps, etc) And presumably is smaller by extension?

That one looks pretty good actually, what brand and model is that? (I can't make out the name).
I went into a local Gamestop to get the RDS case. They didn't have one in stock, but they ordered me one. Should be delivered tomorrow.

They can do that?
Like delivery to your house that you pay for, or to the store for free?
I haven't yet but I'm seriously considering it for the same reasons as you.
I have the PDP one arriving today but on reflection I really don't like the mesh mechanism for holding the console, I actually tried to cancel it and might return it.
I'm slightly paranoid about screen pressure with Waterfield one, I don't think the case alone with be an issue but if things end up on top of it it might not hold up. I've lost a 3DSXL in a case to this before
Then again I'm far more careful about where I put things in bags after that happening.I like how sturdy the RDS one is but I hate how it looks, yeah I know I'm at most just going to pull it out of my bag and put it back in again but I'll still have to look at it which will drive me mad.
Hm, all this being said maybe I should just yolo the Waterfield one, especially since I was kinda planning to buy the one they came out with anyway.
RDS cases are great. Love my 3ds one. I preordered both the traveler, and system case.I see a lot of comments about the RDS traveler case - but does anyone have or know where to find better pictures of the RDS system case? I got the $20 one delivered today from Amazon, and I love their NES mini case, but I think I need a bit more space.
Target seems to have them for sale right now - and $10 cheaper than what Amazon shows when they come in stock later this month.
Between a power bank, headphones, headphone amplifier, joycon straps, and cables, it is now becoming clear to me that I need something a little more.
The PDP backpack looks good on the outside, but the pictures I've seen on the inside have turned me away.
Found this pic.

My Link's tunic one finally shipped last night. It's bright, but it's the closest thing you can get to that amazing Shiekah slate case we'll never see in Europe...
My friend and I were talking about this case the other day. The whites on this case are inevitably gonna smudge and look "dirty" or worn, which really endeared me to it. Mainly cause it's gonna end up looking like a classic school eraser in a blue sleeve.
I borderline wanna get one.

I got whatever Nintendo case for $15 with Mario icons all over it, its adequate.

I have this one! The stick covers are fantastic, the case is awesome, there is definitely play in the sides for room, but they designed it with the covers in mind. The covers are solid and give a good grip but they make the L & R buttons a bit hard to press.
Was easily worth $30 for the case and stick covers alone.
They threw in a nice Zelda themed screen cover. Headphones are there, haven't used them as I have a good set of headphones and a screen protector I have yet to attempt to put on.
Great case though for sure
I eventually want the travelers caae though that fits the dock and everything in it

I'm pretty sure I'm not using it wrong but when I put the switch in the official case the switch logo is technically on the bottom and the Nintendo logo is backwards. Very strange design.

I too like the look of the bag, can't make out anything from these (oddly) small pictures
Gonna have a field test of the surge case this thursday. May end up buying the RDS case for added protection on days when my bag is a little more packed, though I'm probably being overprotective, the surge case is probably fine for my use case
