While I can’t make a blanket recommendation for Switch cases, I can tell you about the one that I have: the official Nintendo Switch carrying case, which retails for $20 and is about as straightforward as they come. Others are elaborate and pricey, offering extra features such as portable chargers and dedicated controller compartments. Some are simple and inexpensive, with just a little padding and a zipper. There are thousands of Switch carrying cases, and they all have pros and cons. Even if you opt for a hard screen protector, a case is still necessary to protect the inner workings of the Switch from dust and debris. Whether you opt for the traditional LCD screen or the fancier Switch OLED, the screen is not impervious to damage - particularly when you stash it in a bag with your keys, coins, laptop and other everyday necessities with sharp edges.
While it’s not as exciting as a brand-new game or as intriguing as a complex controller, you do need a carrying case for your Nintendo Switch. While there’s no excuse for the peripheral’s high price (or its lack of an 3.5 mm audio jack), the Switch Pro Controller is a necessity if you intend to dock your Switch and play involved, single-player adventures for hours at a time. You could treat gaming like a full-time job, and still have to charge it only once per week. It’s larger and easier on the hands, and the battery lasts for up to 40 hours. The Switch Pro Controller mimics a more traditional Xbox-style peripheral, with large hand grips, comfortable shoulder buttons and a real D-pad. It also puts a ton of distance between some buttons, while cramping other ones entirely too close together. The mount puts the analog sticks at odd angles from one another. But when you hook your Switch up to a TV dock, you have to either hold the Joy-Cons in your hands like motion controllers, or snap them into a cheap-feeling controller mount. These are fine when you’re playing in handheld mode. Rather than a traditional controller, the Switch comes with two small, detachable ones that live on either side of the console’s central tablet. If you’ve never played with them before, the Joy-Cons are odd beasts. This is especially true for teenage- and adult-sized hands. But the fact is, the Joy-Cons are not great peripherals and the Nintendo Switch Pro controller is. Nintendo should have made its Joy-Cons more comfortable, or at least given prospective buyers the option of choosing a regular controller rather than two tiny, detachable ones. Having to spend $70 on a Nintendo Switch Pro Controller as soon as you buy the console is admittedly a kick in the pants.
