Hardware Found the best switch case available

[Deleted-355425]

Looks cool but will ruin the ergonomics of the switch for me i'm afraid, plus i'm interested to see if it causes any issues with retaining heat.

that one looks really good, i think it will provide great grip.
plus the back is super slim , but i believe it will be somewhat pricey nay ?

40$ ? but it is kind of okay as you get both a case and a pouch.
if they will have the option to choose only the case for 20$, then i will get their case as i already own a pouch.

only thing i dont like the look of is the shoulder buttons and how they are covered.

You sadly can't (and won't) be able to get the case separately, and it fits into the dock WHILE the case is on, so that's all good.

do you mean the hybrid one is light ?
i hope so, could you please tell me how it feels in the hand, to the touch.

is it smooth or is it slippery , and most importantly is it Matt finish or not..?

i loathe fingerprints/oily smudges etc..

I have the bigger one, the one I linked to in the OP. It feels like an OtterBox but for your switch. I would say it has a hard rubber feel to it. It's smooth, not slippery and definitely has a matte finish. I don't think oil and fingerprints will be a problem. I played my switch for several hours yesterday with it on and it never got slippery or oily from sweat.

so glad about this, thanks for confirming.
and the moment i actually saw this case it reminded me of otterbox phone cases (never owned any) i usually go for supcases (they are also sort of rugged).

one more thing i'd like to know about this switch case, is how is the weight for long play times, does it get /feel heavy after a while?
i have some rubber gels on my joycons and they feel very heavy after playing some 10-20 minutes :l

and ohw one more thing, i watched some video about some (transparent case) for the switch and he was giving positive feedback about how the joy cons do not studder and jiggle when playing on his switch thanks to the case.

i have that problem with my current gel grips , and without them on as well, my joy cons move abit when i tilt my switch abit, you know what i mean ?
like they jiggle abit ,not totally snug as they are detachable i'd guess?

so my last question is ,does this case also cover the sides (tightly) so much that you do not feel that jiggle of the joy cons?

Oh that''s cool. Thanks for the link. Would make the whole unit slightly thicker, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.

IMO this looks 20 times better https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1274541538/switchcase-case-with-replaceable-grips-for-nintend

I beat you to it

The half cases with a lip around the screen are the best IMO. They protect against most drops without sacrificing functionality.

It makes the dock unusable? No thanks.
This might be the best Switch case: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1274541538/switchcase-case-with-replaceable-grips-for-nintend

This one is very light weight as well. I would say it doesn't even weigh half a pound. It definitely doesn't make the switch heavy. I switched from joycon grips to this case and am super happy with the case.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------


That case is pretty cool but with how things it is, I'd be worried about it protecting the switch. Also, I said best case available. That case isn't available yet.

It's obviously not designed to protect against drops when it's out of the pouch, but the case + pouch combo is really nice especially as it fits all the accessories you could possibly need, minus the original dock but I backed this one and the SFANS adapter so I'm covered when it comes to that too.

Wait... WHAT?! I thought I was the first to post that one..?

That makes the Switch much like a PSP, Vita or 3DS in the sense of being a handheld and nothing more. I.e., you can't remove the Joy-Cons.

Gotta love that "forsted" transparent back panel, the shock absorbing "tou" bumper, and the "sceure" grip handle!

The weight does not bother me one bit. It does feel much sturdier with the case on. I know what you mean about the joycons wiggling and feeling kinda loose and this case completely alleviates that problem. It makes the switch feel like one sturdy connected unit. Also, holding it with one hand feels much better while using this case. I no longer feel like a joycon will break off.

--------------------- MERGED ---------------------------

It does also also cover the sides nicely. The only part not covered by the case is the front and the triggers. It covers the back, top, bottom and sides and has a lip that goes all the way around the edge of the switch. It even has a spot to attach a lanyard!

It's a good, solid, protective shell case but if the consumer wanted to insert it back on the dock it wouldn't fit or just to remove the Joy-Cons from it as they're tacked in.

It's not hard to remove. It's a bit tighter than that case on Kickstarter is to remove, but that just makes it seem all the more secure. It's not a bad case for out of carry case protection. Having to remove the case to remove joycons and dock it seem like first world problems to me. I hardly ever dock mine though, I mostly use it in handheld mode and charge it that way as well. If you dock a lot you might be better off with the other case but for me this one is perfect.

I am a proud owner of this case and it is seriously the best case for it. the only con I have is the fact that it doesn't have a stand. I am actually looking for someone to 3d print the test attachment I have made for the case. Eventually I want to kickstart the attachment it will be an adhesive that attaches to the case itself.

Is anyone interested I have already made the 3d file

I have a 3d printer, but don't have the case (yet). I'll probably be buying the case today. Just have to recalibrate my printer and then I should be able to start printing today.

Just bought it. If you want you can send me the file so I can get it printed. The case will arrive sunday, and if you send it tonight it should be printed by tomorrow

The price is right for a high quality case + pouch, I think.
Especially since it comes with a free tempered glass screen protector (stretch goal)
Your existing pouch won't work with it anyway. Read the FAQ, they decided to include a pouch with it because you'll never be able to find a pouch that fits it otherwise.
Their pouch fits the console with grip case + powerbank/power adapter (both at once if your powerbank isn't too huge) + USB cable + several joycon pairs or wrist straps or similar + lots of games, or anything else you could imagine.
It probably won't fit the original dock (that thing is huge) but I backed the SFANS adapter: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/sfans-makes-your-nintendo-switch-truly-portable-games-videogames which would fit easily.
That pouch should easily fit the SFANS with stand, original power adapter, JoyCon straps, JoyCons, USB cable, all my games and my powerbank. Which is all I would want really, not planning on bringing the pro controller around with me everywhere, when I want to bring the Switch that's basically all I'll ever bring, so it covers all the bases.

Nope
