Wow, really? That case is $40 here in Sweden. Not joking. This one is cheaper:
Nintendo/Bergsala ripping us off, I guess. Just as they are with the Switch itself ($417).

Ugh that looks bulky as shit, as do the majority of all of these hard cases.

Well the system is pretty big.
Why buy a case again? If this is accurate, you don't really need one. Just detach the Joy-Con and toss it in your pocket.
Bam, another picture. Yeah. This thing is getting a tempered glass screen protector and living in my pocket.
Anyone who was saying it isn't pocket sized is trippin.
Someone posted it when open, seems to have compartments for cables and games. looks sturdy tho

If you're getting a good case I don't know why you even would. Sure, you COULD drop it, but damn, be careful with your shit! I don't use screen protectors on my phones (instead I get flip covers), never had a problem.
Thickness is just as important though. That iPhone plus is 7.3mm and Switch is 13.9. So Switch is nearly two iPhone pluses stacked together.
While we're talking actual dimensions, lets get the raw numbers for width and length.
Switch: 167.2mm x 102mm
iPhone 7+: 158.2mm x 77.9mm
Gonna need some pretty wide pockets, and it'll probably stick out a bit, but it's not impossible.

Same. I wish they'd give us a peek at what the case actually looks like IRL. I'm curious if it has any pouches/slots for additional games, or if it just fits the Switch and nothing else. If it doesn't have anywhere to put other games, I'll probably end up buying a separate case for those occasions.
I really like that premium one the first reply showed, but it looks like it's backordered into May at the moment.

In Denmark, that case is 169 DKK which equals to $24 USD... What the hell is going on in Sweden? The console is way cheaper in Denmark too
Edit: are you sure you're price checking properly? The first Swedish store I checked had it for $33 USD

Buying
Extraordinarily on the nose, but I like it! And it's cheap :3
Purchased it in January, so hopefully the shortages don't affect me
Even then, I would never want to put a nonclamshell portable game system in my pocket. Carrying my Vita anywhere drives me crazy because I don't have a dedicated place for it besides my 3DS case.

Pocket size???? Neither of my two non XL 3DSs fit in my pocket, let alone a Switch! Jeez!

Waiting on the waterfield case.
I'm sure it'll be as classy as their 3DS case.

Going for this style as well.

The larger PSVR one has foam too, I believe. Can't remember.
It'd make sense to have the foam to keep things separate instead of it all just rolling around.
The NES Classic case is so nice despite their solution for the controller cords. Haha.
Not on Amazon Italy sadly, or at least i can't seem to find it
I'm choosing between either the official case, RDS, or the PDP starter, dunno if these fall quality cases. I think at least the RDS and official can qualify as some. I honestly just want a screen protector or glass for reassurance that my screen doesn't get stratched up. If I really don't need it then that's great but idk....

Ok, you're right, it is available for a bit less.
Scroll up. There are pictures in this thread of the inside of it.
Also I like how we got the same guy posting over and over how you should just put it in your pocket. Bruh, I am not buying those ugly ass massive front pocket jeans.
My point is that Bergsala is the supplier in Denmark as well, but here the Switch prices are absolutely fine when you take the BOAT into account.. Seems like it's the Swedish vendors having a field day with you guys :-(

Sorry guys, I don't have links to sites in IT or ES. One is called the Gioteck, the other is the PDP. Hopefully you can find it at your local retailers.
I already posted deep pocket jean co, which makes jean pockets large enough with regular skinny fit jeans.So you're the guy that's keeping JNCO in business these days.
People are making a joke with jnco jeans but there's scottevest, an option for carrying it without a case. Dunno how much u can carry with those pants tho
Those look as ridiculous as JNCO jeans, also, those pockets are way too deep.
DPJCO is the way to go.
The pic is some sort of a x-ray image, it shows you what you can carry in it. It looks like a normal pants or jacket like the one you posted.

Like you mentioned, dropping is still a problem. I drop my shit all the time cause I'm an idiot. Screen protectors have saved me a ton of money replacing phones and whatnot. Don't wanna be the one with a cracked screen.

I went with this one as well.
Eh those pants look dorky and too baggy. For $100+ jeans they better look stylish and fit right. I wear skinny fit jeans normally, and I've chatted with DPJCO, an LA based company, a couple of times and they're stoked about the Switch. They even have a pair on sale for like $60.
That link you posted has interesting jackets though. I'll keep them in mind for that.
Yeah but what are you going to do with the Joy-Cons after you detach them? You still need to tote them around too.
They're really small. I can just put one in my coin pocket, and toss the other one in the same pocket as my phone. (I rock a regular 7 with a screen protector, so plenty of space.

Any word on how prone the Switch screen is to scratches? I always felt the need to slap a screen protector on the DS and 3DS because of the soft plastic screen...but I assume the Switch screen is glass and thus less susceptible to scratches?

Does this one have places to store game carts? And if not does anyone know of one that does?

Anyone know where I can get this one in the UK?
It isn't pocket size for most people, how about that?
Yep, just ordered this one from Target.
Was originally going to go with the PDP case, but this one looked a tad more compact.
Or, it isn't pocket sized for people who don't feel like buying pants with bigger pockets instead of an ugly case.

I have this one ordered already
But I'm going back and forth on whether I want that or the hori tough pouch with eventual cartridge case if/when I exceed 5 physical games. (Going mostly digital.)
What I want is the tunic one's functionality in a more restrained design. I want space in the case so I can put this in it:
I mean everything is getting thrown in a laptop messenger bag anyways if I'm taking it on a trip, so in theory packing 3 things separately isn't the end of the world.

Aesthetic > pockets
I even have jeans with fake pockets. Besides, pockets are overrated, I HATE carrying things in my pockets. Do everything in my power to keep little to nothing in them.

How scratch prone is the screen? Surely someone must have reported on it?
A lot of people don't rock cargo pants/shorts, but do carry around a bag.
I know you want to insist that this is pocket sized, but for most people the Switch and Joy-Cons are not going into any pant pockets.
I mean it's only been showcased in extremely limited settings and few games (if any) have used the touch screen so far.
I posted stylish skinny fit jeans like 4 times, lol
The only reason I'm even talking them up so much is that I've tried the carrying a bag around all the time life when the iPad mini first came out. It sucks. I really don't understand how anyone could do that every day, and I plan on bringing it with me everywhere, every day.
