Skip the dock: TNP Type-C to HDMI Adapter for Nintendo Switch
Staff PickThis alternative adapter for your Nintendo Switch allows you to play your Switch on a TV without having the original Dock around. It outputs video through HDMI, has a USB-C port for power, and has hole vents for heat dissipation. It's great for travel and vacations.

Look good on the go: Waterfield SwitchPack Carrying Case
Waterfield's SwitchPack case is a beautiful designer bag made of full-grain leather with a soft plush lining. It's big enough to fit your Switch tablet (Joy-Cons detached), a Hori Compact PlayStand, your Joy-Cons, necessary cables, and more, making it one of the best Nintendo Switch accessories.

Go Pro: Nintendo Switch Pro Controller
The Switch Pro Controller offers a more comfortable grip for your gaming sessions, a bigger battery than the Joy-Cons, and has built-in NFC support for Amiibo. Don't forget that HD rumble!

Keep it charged: Nyko Charge Block Pro
If you have a Pro Controller, you should get Nyko's charging dock. The Pro Controller normally charges over USB-C, but this dock has magnetic pins instead. Just drop the Controller in the dock when not in use and charge it up!

Battery backpack: OCT17 Battery Charger Case
This battery case attaches to your Switch and lets you charge it up cable-free with the 10000mAh built-in battery. It even allows you to charge up while playing via the USB-C or full-size USB port. It's a little bulky, but that extra power is a good trade-off. And you get full access to ports and buttons.

Double the joy: Extra Joy-Cons
There are plenty of multiplayer games on the Switch, so you should invest in some extra Joy-Cons for guests at gatherings. One set of Joy-Cons means two more controllers for less! And they come in so many different colors!

Charge them Cons!: Orbeet Joy-Con Charger
This 4-in-1 charger lets you charge two pairs of Joy-Cons when they're running low, making it great for multiperson households. It also has two extra USB ports for charging up Pro Controllers.

Charge everything!: PowerA Joy-Con & Pro Controller Dock
This charging station lets you charge all of your controllers together (Pro and Joy-Cons), so it's less to keep track of. There are even Nintendo-themed designs, like Mario or Zelda, for slightly more.

Cover that dock: Switch Dock Sock
These Dock Socks are simple cloth covers with many different and unique designs. It's perfect for keeping your Switch display scratch-free while also adding some flair.

Protect the screen: amFilm Tempered Glass Screen Protector
A screen protector is a smart move to keep your Switch screen scratch-free and make it smudge-resistant. This one is reasonably priced.

Get a grip: MoKo Controller Grip
This MoKo Controller Grip turns each half of a Joy-Con pair into its own mini pseudo-Pro controller. The Joy-Cons are much more comfortable to hold with the ergonomic grip, and you get full SL and SR buttons on the top. It comes in a few colors to match Joy-Con color options.

Just like a tablet: PowerA Hybrid Cover
This snap-on folio covers the display when not-in-use and lets you view the console from more angles, thanks to the convenient kickstand mode. It's great for protecting your Switch while still giving you full access to the buttons and ports.

Travel officially: Official Switch Deluxe Travel Case
The official Nintendo Switch case stores your Switch with one pair of Joy-Cons. The padded pockets protect the analog sticks, and a hard plastic game case keeps your physical games safe.

Travel slim: Tomtoc Ultra Slim Carrying Case
This minimal case is enough for just the basics. Store your Switch with attached Joy-Cons, and carry along a few games in the protective and padded card sleeve. It comes in a few color options to fit whatever mood you're in. It's one of our favorite protective cases for the Nintendo Switch.

Card carrying member: HORI Game Card Case
This game card case stores up to 24 physical games, keeping them safe from dirt and debris. There are even slots for a few memory cards.

Raise it up: Insignia Compact Travel Stand
Dock your Switch or Switch Lite and adjust the angle in one of six viewing positions. The raised position allows you to charge your device while you're playing, and the sturdy rubber bottom will keep it steady. The dock folds up so it won't take up much space in your bag and also stores two game cards.

Get wired: HORI Wired Internet LAN Adapter
This adapter provides you with an Ethernet port for a wired connection. Keep your internet fast and stable to avoid missing a second of your next intense Super Smash Bros. Ultimate online matches.

Charged up!: RAVPower 26800
The RAVPower can take your Switch from totally drained to fully charged about five times. It can also charge up your Switch while you play and will power other devices like your MacBook or iPhone.

Stylish metal: PowerA Compact Metal Stand
This hefty little stand is made of metal and has a design inspired by Mario or Zelda. It folds up easily and allows you to get the perfect viewing angle when playing your Switch. It comes with a drawstring bag for carrying.

Expand that storage: SanDisk Ultra microSDXC
While the Switch always comes with built-in storage, it's such a small amount that it will fill up quickly. Pick up a microSD card with a lot of storage for all of those digital downloads and get your game on!
Game on!
There is a whole wide world of accessories out there for your Nintendo Switch. Getting the stuff you need to make your Switch experience your own can make your gaming life just a little bit better!
We can't live without the Pro Controller, because it feels more like a traditional console controller than the Joy-Cons, and it's incredibly comfy to use, even for several hours at a time. The battery also lasts forever.
For traveling, we like to be minimal, so the tomtoc Ultra Slim Case is our favorite since it has such a slim profile, yet is so protective. And the card sleeve in the middle means you can carry plenty of games to keep you entertained while on-the-go. And of course, we can't go without the amFilm tempered glass screen protector, because it's barely noticeable, easy to install, and keeps your Switch's in perfect condition.
