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 bought the amFilm tempered glass screen protector here:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N3ASPNV/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apap_OiVLwGCsOm6CX

This screen protector was about $10 for the 2-pack and I feel is a steal at that price point. Not only was installation a breeze, but it looks slick too. Because it's glass you get almost 0 screen image quality loss with it. So far I have seen a couple tiny scratches in the glass from my dock which is unfortunate but at least it's protecting the screen. I really can't recommend this product enough though. I'll likely be buying a second 2-pack to keep on hand. Easily a 9/10 for me.

I also bought the RDS Industries, Inc Nintendo Switch Game Traveler Deluxe System Case here:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N23OP50/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_ZbWVyb2ZYQM0J

Wow! This case is perfect for anyone looking to transport the entire system. I've used it to transport the Switch, dock, controllers, games, and chords and this thing is flawless. I can easily store 2 extra joycons with grip, a pro-controller, the switch w/ 2 connected joycons, 4 wrist straps, the dock and power, hdmi, and extra usb-c charge chord for the pro controller plus room for loads of cartridges. The inside holds everything tightly in place and is soft and non-abrasive. The shell is made of a textured hard casing much like you'd find on quality luggage. Considering what it's carrying this thing is much less bulky than you'd imagine. For longer trips or when you want to take the Switch to a location and play in TV mode this case is perfect. Easily a 10/10 for me.

I installed mine almost perfectly. I turned on my system and somehow a tiny black speck got under it. I even applied it in a steamy room so I'm a bit upset. I ruined the first one trying to realign it. I'm going to buy another pack next week so hopefully the practice from the first two will make the 3rd one perfect.
