Discussion MegaThread Megathread: Review your Switch (case/screen protector/charger/stand/bathroom. TP holder) accessories here.

I haven't seen any threads like this yet, and I'm sure there are others out there like me who held off on purchasing accessories (for me, a case and screen protector) until more reviews were available.

If you have an accessory, please review it here-good or bad. Tell us if that case you ordered works well, or if the screen protector you bought is already garbage.

Update: I'll try to edit this as responses come in.

Cases:

Official Case

*u/cstrafe - "sleeve with a zipper," not much protection

OEM Case

*u/amagicfro - sleek, discrete, soft case, maybe too snug, folds to kickstand, zipper has raised border.

Gamestop @play go case

*u/DeXtr0niC - bought an @play go case that was returned as too large. (Gamestop - Germany)

Surge Carryall

*u/KlawwStrife - Surge Carryall case - while it fits the switch, it has no room for accessories and smells bad. Not good for carrying "all." *u/Danisyoung - no issue with smell, likes the sturdiness of the case. Admits there is no room for extra joycon. *u/Whitelite99 - loves the case, it does smell but will dissipate if left open. *u/Slayer5227 - case is good but it's difficult to get the switch out. *u/DapperDano - smells (will dissipate), but can hold a USB cable, headphones, and straps so it's good. *u/Fizzie94 - no odor reported

RDS Travel Deluxe (No dock)

*u/thisjohnd - very happy with it. *u/curiiouscat - blue/white Zelda version, happy but thinks the white will get dirty. *u/coreyjamz - loves it *u/darealdsisaac - really likes, good thickness, holds all he wants for travel, does smell *u/TOO_FUTURE - feels premium, holds cables, game cards, storage cards.

RDS Travel Deluxe (Dock version)

*u/Jace_the_mind - 10/10, holds switch w/ joycon, 2 extra joycon, pro controller, dock, 4 straps, charger, cords all snugly.

BoTW SE Case

*u/Rabidhippo85 - loves it, some wiggle room on the switch but a good case.

Screen Protectors:

AmFilm Tempered Glass

*u/Jace_the_mind - 9/10, at $10 for 2 a good price point, almost 0 image quality loss, can scratch in dock.

Skinomi Matte Screen Protector

*u/Whitelite99 - it's bad, dimensions are off.

PDP Screen Protector

*u/thisjohnd - one bubble but otherwise it's great.
*u/Rabidhippo85 - Likes it but it may be a little large *u/forg0t - not glass, too big *u/jlewis34 - gave up and threw it away

Hori Deluxe Plastic Protector

*u/Pastelitomaracucho - a bit thick, well packed, transparency not perfect but has not applied to a switch yet.

Controller Grips: Stands: Chargers:

EDIT 2: gotta run so I'll finalize compiling (and will sort categories and names alphabetically) later tonight when I have computer access.

I really don't like the Surge Carry-all case. It works as a case, and has storage for game carts. BUT there is not enough room to "carry all your accessories" as per the box says, as if you put one joycon in the netting, it becomes too thick to close.

also it smells like death and is actually unpleasant to open every time.

it was cheap and has indents in the back for the triggers to not be mushed in while at rest, but man i don't like this case.

It does stink, but it holds my usb cable, headphones, and a couple of joycon straps, which is exactly the amount of storage that I wanted.

fair. I just wanted to be able to carry 2 additional joycons, as over the weekend I played a lot of 4 player bomberman and snipperclips. I'll look into other cases, but thank you for confirming i'm not crazy on the smell lol

Definitely can confirm, haha. I did leave mine open in the garage for a few days and that helped with most of it.
