Colorful designs
This case has everything I look for: a handle, zippered internal pocket that keeps small accessories from sliding around, a hard shell, and the ability to hold 10 cartridges. It's also available in 23 designs so you can easily find the look you like best.
Case and grips
Since there aren't any ergonomic holds on the Switch, it can be hard to hold for long stretches. However, as we noted in our ZenGrip Pro review, this case and grip bundle fixes that. The case can even hold the Switch while installed in the grip.
Fun designs
As we said in our PowerA Protective Switch OLED case review we absolutely love the storage space, hard shell, and fun designs that this comes in. There are also other options that depict Mario, Kirby, Pokémon, and more.
Ultra slim
As we noted in our Tomtoc Slim OLED review, this beautiful case is one of the thinnest ones you can get that still provides hard shell protection. There isn't any storage space, but it can hold up to 10 game cartridges and the nifty wrist strap makes it easy to bring around.
