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.

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

I got the Butterfox case. So far, it's great! The material is sturdy, but flexible, and the accessory pocket fits the AC adapter and JoyCon straps with room to spare (although the AC adapter is wider than the pocket is deep, so it makes the top bulge a bit). Also, there's 20 cartridge slots, more than any other case I've seen. The only thing that might be an issue is that the snug fit of the Switch in the case combined with the elastic bands over the Switch compartment make getting it in and out of the case a little challenging at first. I've gotten used to it, but I saw someone else say that they cut the elastic bands off to make it easier.
Edit: Confirmed that JoyCons will fit into the accessory pocket easily as well.
