Would use for my 2nd case. Not main case.
5 out of 5 stars
Would use for my 2nd case. Not main case.
Its exactly what you expect. It fits in right to millimeter (Its a precise fit). it has its pros and cons. in terms of protection: Pro: its a 20/10 cause of the outer shell and soft foam holding it inside. You can feel how secure it will be so you can rest assure. Con: joy sticks are pressured a lil. I put the switch in the case for 40 mins and there were marks of the joy sticks making some pressure to the foam holes. I know it will be secure but i dont know it will be damaged or not. (I attached images of this. The last ones) In terms of look Pro: it looks sleek with the black. I even added a sticker on the back. Marking my territory if you may. Con: i know that if i drop it, it’ll end up with some scratches but fin with me. Doing its job I added some games on the game slots for 2-5 mins and it was already stretching to size. It was hard putting it on the first time so i guess its for the best for it to be stretched a lil. Dont thinks its gonna pop out anytime soon. Overall: I like it but dont love it but i kinda do. Kinda disappointed on the joy sticks being pushed in a little but not a mayor issue if you push the foam in with your finger for a lil while to make space. If it becomes a mayor issues in the future, i might cut it out. (Mod it if u will😏)

    5.0 out of 5 stars The best protection for daily travel and camping
    Reviewed in the United States on January 8, 2020
    Verified Purchase
    The size of the switch concerned me, it is so small and so helpless. I bought the hard case for protection as I did not trust some flimsy sleeve or cardboard backed case to protect the small sensitive electronics. AmazonBasics delivered on a quality case. I went with the black case and have been very pleased with the safety the case provides. I can easily throw my switch in my bag and am on the go. I ride the bus and never worry about crushing or breaking the switch.

    Pros:
    - Hard plastic case that holds its shape
    - Rubber injection molding for additional protection on the outside of the case
    - Form fitting molding to caress the contours of the buttons, joysticks, and curves.
    - Slide latch that keeps the case closed, but won't accidentally open
    - Storage for switch game cartridges
    - Looks and feels great, and enforces the feeling of security knowing your switch will still be fine wherever your travels go
    - Keeps the dust and lint from getting on the switch

    Cons:
    - Besides the switch and a handful of games, nothing else goes in the case. I would worry about carrying additional Micro SD cards unless they are in a case the size of a game cartridge, they may fall out accidentally.
    - The case is form fitting so no extra or bulky cases on your switch will fit in the case. Slim switch covers may be fine

    I travel to work and go camping with my switch and this case has protected my switch for the past year. In my mind the case has paid for itself in the protection it provides.

    This case blew me away for price, and for quality.. the switch fits PERFECTLY pre-cased (meaning just base switch) I LOVE the little game holder it's very convenient and stores nicely. What really made me but this case is the individual holes for your joy sticks, it helps keep them tight and healthy vs. a lot of other cases you just "shove" the switch in. It's also all foam pading inside which is very nice and keeps the case shock absorbent. I have had this case for months and I use it all the time. I never go with out it. And I've never or ever will I think to buy another case.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Budget near-perfect protection, at the cost of accessory storage
    Reviewed in the United States on February 20, 2019

    I can't believe my favorite case design/style is also the cheapest! Quite the good deal. This hard case does very few things, but it does them well: it holds my Switch and two mounted Joy-Cons, and has slots for more games than I have physical cards for. It feels sturdy, has survived multiple falls and overall rough handling of the backpack it travels in, without any damage to the shell, liner, latch, or hinges. (If a part fails, I expect it to be the latch, but so far it's robust enough for my use.) It's not waterproof, nor perfectly dustproof, but it keeps the gross out and the Switch in.

    The liner is *exactly* molded to fit a stock, "naked" Switch without shells or covers. Maybe a vinyl skin would fit, but that's about it.

    The ruggedized look and feel means it's slightly thicker than it probably needs to be, but it fits well in my bag. I carry a second semi-rigid case with accessories like a travel dock, charger, and more controllers if I plan on setting up, but for my average use, this case is perfect and I'll probably never trade my two-piece case system for a bulky all-in-one Switch-plus-accessories travel case.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Great for it's price.
    Reviewed in the United States on November 15, 2018
    Verified Purchase
    5 stars because of what it is and does. It's a hardshell protective case with some sort of hard, somewhat porous, rigid, rubbery, foam on the inside on top. I can tell it'll keep dirt out, but once it's in there, it's IN THERE. As far as shock absorbtion, I'd rather not try and test it because the console cutout on the bottom is just hard plastic. Cutouts for the system are nice and aligned, system stays put, and there's storage for your extra game carts and has a nice, satisfying *click* when you shut it. It doesn't flex when you twist it and the lid stays mated together. That being said, while it is a hard case, it's no Pelican case, so no guarantees on waterproofing, and the game cart holder feels like some sort of Walmart-grade plasticky "pleather" that's just glued in and feels like after a too many trips, it'll eventually come off. That being said, it's nice for the price, and I've got zero real complaints about it!

    Tip- get some rubber stripping and put some around the case to have much better shock absorbtion and to avoid scratches/dings on rough surfaces if you want to keep it pretty and sleek.

    4.0 out of 5 stars It's a good case as long as you know what you are getting
    Reviewed in the United States on August 13, 2019

    As the pictures make clear, this is not a large carry-all for the switch and all the accessories you could possibly want. It holds the switch with joy-cons and a couple games and that's it. It's a very minimalist case in general. As long as you understand what you are getting I think it works very well and if you are looking for something that just holds the basics and is small, this is a great option. I do have a couple of small gripes listed in the cons section that keep it from getting a full 5 stars.

    PROS:
    -Seems well made and should protect the contents well
    -Small form factor compared to a lot of other cases
    -Doesnt scream "video games," at least in black.

    CONS:
    -The latch is plastic and seems a little weak; if you drop the case from waist height it may well and dump all its contents everywhere.

    -the game pouches are vinyl so they will stretch out over time. Not sure if it will pose a problem down the road. Additionally, they used black vinyl instead of clear, so you can't see what the games are unless you actually pull them out.

    In short, if you want something with a lot of bells and whistles and extra storage space, look elsewhere. If you want something small and unobtrusive that protects the game system alone, this is a great option.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Einwandfreie Hülle!
    Reviewed in Germany on January 25, 2020

    Die Nintendo Switch passt perfekt in die Hülle, da rutscht oder wackelt nichts und auch die Plastiklasche für bis zu acht Spiele ist super. Durch das Hartplastik schützt die Hülle die Switch ideal vor allen möglichen Einflüssen, egal ob man sie in den Rucksack packt transportiert oder unabsichtlich fallen lässt, die Switch ist immer bestens geschützt. Ich kann die Schutzhülle wärmstens empfehlen!

    4.0 out of 5 stars 重くてでかいが頑丈
    Reviewed in Japan on October 25, 2020
    Verified Purchase
    本製品はだいたい450gくらいあります。持ち運ぶとなると、これに更にSwitch本体の重量が乗っかります。
    また、サイズも横27cm×縦14cm×厚さ5cmもあるので、なかなか大きいです。
    購入する前に持ち歩く際に使うであろうバックに入るかどうかの確認をお忘れなく。

    内部ですがNintendo Switchの左右にコントローラーを付けた状態でぴったりハマる設計です。ほぼ動きません。
    Switchを入れる箇所は硬めの素材です。一見プラスチックのようですが押すとわずかに凹む高反発な素材でできています。ただのプラスチックよりも衝撃吸収性に優れているように感じます。
    フタ側の素材はウレタンのような柔らかめの素材です。ボタン部分は凹んで設計されていますので、コントローラーの突起部分がケースと干渉することはありません。
    フタ側にはソフトを8枚収納できるシートが付いています。ペラペラのシートなので耐久性はよく分かりません。いきなり裂けたりすることはなさそうな素材には見えます。こちらのシートにソフトを入れた場合、Switch本体の液晶に触れますが、液晶に強く押し付けられないようにスペースが確保されていました。
    外側は硬めのプラスチック素材です。チャック式の同類の製品と異なり、閉めた状態だと柔らかい部分が外部に露出していないのでかなり頑丈な印象です。一度Switchを入れた状態で、机の高さくらいの高さから落としてしまったのですが、本製品も中に収納していたSwitchも全く問題ありませんでした。

    多少重くとも頑丈なものが良いという方にはコスパの良い製品だと思います。
    なお、中国製です。
