Nintendo has officially revealed the Switch 2, which launches on June 5 and carries a $450 price tag. That makes it a fairly hefty investment–and if you plan to lug the handheld console around with you, it’s a good idea to pair it with a carrying case. A bunch of third-party cases are already popping up at Amazon, but the best option might be picking up the official Switch 2 Carrying Case from Nintendo. There’s also an All-In One Carrying Case large enough to accommodate multiple accessories, giving you two ways to transport your console. Preorders are expected to open on April 9 alongside Switch 2 preorders–here’s a closer look at both.
$35
The Nintendo Switch 2 Carrying Case was crafted specifically for the upcoming console. Along with a sturdy exterior shell, the case is bundled with a screen protector and cleaning cloth. And since the screen has ballooned to an impressive 7.9-inches (compared to 6.2 for the original Switch and 7 inches for Switch OLED), these should help you keep it free from scratches and fingerprints.
The case is equipped with two large zippers that mimic the red and blue design of the Joy-Con, and they bring a nice pop of color to an otherwise understated accessory. Much like the existing carrying case for Switch, this should be a good option for anyone looking to keep their Switch 2 safe while stowed in a backpack or suitcase.
$80
Plan on traveling with not just your Switch 2, but all of its accessories? Then take a look at the All-In-One Carrying Case. Offering much more space than the above case, it’s capable of packing in the following gear:
- Nintendo Switch 2 system
- Switch 2 dock
- Joy-Con 2 controllers
- Various cables
- Up to six game cards
Sporting a design that looks a bit like a GameCube, it’s a convenient way to bring your entire Switch 2 setup with you wherever you go. Inside are a variety of dividers to keep everything organized, while a mesh net in the lid lets you pack cables and smaller gear.
