Switch 2 All-In-One Carrying Case: review

If youre looking to buy a case for your shiny new Nintendo Switch 2, you may have come across the official Nintendo Switch 2 All-In-One Carrying Case.
This model is large enough to house your Nintendo Switch 2 console, but also everything else youd need to enjoy the console in TV mode.

Yep, there really is a lot of room to play with here. Im talking slots for your console, dock, controllers the full works. But with a list price of $84.99 / 66.99 / AU$109.95, is it really worth investing in? I tested it across multiple days to find out

If, like me, youre someone who much prefers playing your Nintendo Switch 2 in TV mode, then this case has you covered. Its large and spacious, with individual compartments designated for your console, dock, Joy-Con 2 controllers, Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller , and more. Theres also a
zip-up pouch for you to store cables and any additional bits and pieces.

I was easily able to fit everything I needed within the case something I
cant say about any other case Ive tested.

The only aspect that could be improved storage-wise is an increase in
physical game card slots. You only get six here less than some third-party options like the Belkin Charging Case for Nintendo Switch 2 , for instance. Still, if youre taking a short trip perhaps to game at a friends house, for example six slots will probably be plenty.

Lets talk durability a pretty big factor when deciding on which case to buy. Now this model is certainly durable enough. No, its not got a rock-hard exterior or anything its more flexible than some rivals. Still, its got a decent amount of padding, and the material used for the exterior is rough enough to deal with drops and scratches. On top of that, theres a protective flap for your Switch 2 console and dock.

I tried throwing the case on the floor and giving it a good scratch, and I didnt see any damage, so no complaints from me. (Image credit: Future)

I do have a couple of complaints, though. Firstly, the cases handle is pretty narrow and doesn't extend all too much. As a result, it felt undersized in my hand. But as someone with relatively large hands, I wanted to get some additional opinions. Unfortunately, everyone in my office agreed that the handles extension and shape were too limiting, with one colleague noting that this resulted in a weak overall grip.

Secondly, Id argue that the design is a little one-note. It's entirely black with no fun detailing of note. Thats not the be-all and end-all but I
wouldve liked to see a splash of color, or at the least, a few colorful options. As an official case, I feel like there was an opportunity to make
use of Nintendos amazing IPs for a more charismatic look.

Finally, and you may have seen this coming, we need to talk about that price. This is definitely the most spacious case Ive tested. Its also durable and secure. But $84.99 / 66.99 / AU$109.95 is quite the investment especially when a lot of third-party rivals are charging around half of that for a similar sort of build.

All in all, then, is the Nintendo Switch 2 All-In-One Carrying Case worth it? Well, Im pretty torn. On one hand, I can see myself using this due to a combination of abundant storage space and solid durability. On the other
hand, Im not convinced that it's priced particularly well, and I was disappointed with the awkward handle and slightly limited number of game slots. If youve got the cash, its an option worth considering otherwise, Id recommend checking out some third-party alternatives.

Design

Slightly one-note look, awkward handle, but plenty durable and secure.

3.5/5

Storage

Well-made individual compartments for console and accessories, only six game card slots.

4.5/5

Value

Despite high storage and ruggedness, its very expensive and not without its flaws.

3.5/5 Buy it if

You want a highly secure case
I was more than satisfied with the durability of Nintendos official
all-in-one case. Its got a hardy, yet flexible exterior, a protective flap
for your Switch 2 console and dock, and secure compartments for all of your accessories.

Youve got plenty of accessories
Yes, if youve got an additional controller such as the Pro Controller 2, for example as well as Joy Con 2 grip and straps and cables, it should all fit with ease. Of course, you have space for your dock too. Dont buy it if

You want the best bang for your buck
With a list price of $84.99 / 66.99 / AU$109.95, Nintendo's official all-in-one case is quite the investment. And although it's both durable and spacious, I'm not sure it's quite worth that much. A rival like the Nacon
case in the 'Also consider' section, for example, is large enough to house your console, dock, and cables. And although it doesn't have as much room for accessories, it's still durable and easy to handle, while also coming in at around half the price.

You want to carry a large number of games around
Dont get me wrong, six game slots is solid enough, and if youre only taking a short trip, that should be enough. But there are competitors who offer 10 or more game card slots, so it wouldve been nice to get a couple more here. Nintendo Switch 2 All-In-One Carrying Case review: also consider

Nacon Protection Case XL for Nintendo Switch 2
Unfortunately, this ones not available in the US or Australia just yet, but
if youre in the UK, the Nacon Protection Case XL is the ideal alternative to Nintendos full-sized model. It comes in at under 25 (about $34 / AU$50), but still has enough room for your console, dock, and cables. It wont quite offer the space for a Pro Controller as well, say, but if thats ok with you, then you may get better bang for your buck with Nacon.

models Trialled by a Switch 2 owner and life-long gamer

I tested the Nintendo Switch 2 All-In-One Carrying Case over multiple days. I loaded it up with a Nintendo Switch 2 console, dock, Joy-Cons, a third-party controller, cables, games you name it.

Although I wasnt particularly keen to drop the case with my console inside, I threw it onto the floor while empty. I also tried scratching the exterior and checked for any wear after a few days of use. I also compared aspects like sturdiness and storage space against the Nacon Protection Case XL for
Nintendo Switch 2.

Generally speaking, Im a Switch 2 owner, lifelong gamer, and experienced tech reviewer. Ive had the Switch 2 from launch, and have reviewed a bunch of accessories, like the Genki Aegis Shield , DBrand Prism 2.0 , and Hori
Piranha Plant Camera for Nintendo Switch 2 . Read more about how we test
