Subj : Your Nintendo Switch 2 probably wants this case as much as I do To : All From : TechnologyDaily Date : Fri Jun 20 2025 23:15:07 Your Nintendo Switch 2 probably wants this case as much as I do Date: Fri, 20 Jun 2025 22:00:00 +0000 Description: There are plenty of accessories for the Switch 2, but Belkin's two cases offer simplicity and utility in a build that protects the console near and far. FULL STORY ====================================================================== Ive finally gotten my hands on a Nintendo Switch 2 , and having come from a Switch OLED (and an original Switch before that) and being a player that almost exclusively uses it in handheld mode, I was also keen to find the right accessories. Sure, Nintendo has its own official case for the Switch 2, and there are dozens of other options available on the web see Amazon but Belkins entry into the accessory market for the popular console had me intrigued. And quite simply, I think theres a lesson here for other accessory makers in the form of Belkins two cases for the Switch 2. Theres the Charging Case for Nintendo Switch 2 and the Travel Case for the Switch 2 both come in three shades. Although I wish Belkin would add some vibrant options, I also appreciate total protection for the console, along with plenty of storage. However, where both of these truly succeed is that they aren't bulky, and the design doesnt get in the way of utility. Lets start with the Travel Case its priced very affordably at just $29.99 / 17.99 / AU$39.95 and comes in three shades: charcoal, sand, or green. Id love a little more variety here, especially as Nintendo hasnt dropped the Switch 2 in any fun shades, but its not the end of the world. The case is also available on Amazon in the US here and from Belkin directly in the UK here for 17.99 , or from Belkin directly in Australia here for AU$ 39.95. View Deal Its constructed from a pretty durable polyester outer shell with a softer, velvet-like interior and opens and closes seamlessly with a zipper all around. Its also about the size of the Switch 2 and is purpose-built to hold it. When you open it up, the main bed where the Switch 2 lies screen up, has indentations in the top corners for the rear triggers of the Joy-Con 2s. I can easily store the Switch 2 with zero concerns, toss this in a backpack, or carry the case on its own. The interior top of the case is a mesh, sponge netting for easy storing of other accessories like cables, batteries, cleaning cloths, and really anything else. Theres also a dedicated spot for an Apple AirTag. As someone who has dealt with an airline losing my luggage that thankfully had an AirTag inside , this is a brilliant addition. Even better, though, theres a fold-down slot for 12 game cartridges for the Nintendo Switch 2. I'm aware of the controversy surrounding virtual game cards , but whether youre bringing an extensive collection of games from the Nintendo Switch for the new generation or have pre-ordered a bunch, this Travel Case lets you bring your core 12 with you. All in all, a very functional design, but the Travel Case also doesnt add much weight or thickness. With a Switch 2 inside, the entire pack is under two pounds at 1.81 lbs, and with some accessories, it doesnt stretch much more than that. I especially love that it has an adjustable handle, making it easy to carry. Belkins Travel Case is all about seamlessly carrying your Switch 2, and it doesnt add bulk or extra flair in fact, from the outside, its hard to tell what is inside. Belkin generally takes this minimalistic, simple approach with its design, and I really like it here. Just take a look at Apples official Vision Pro case versus Belkins; the latter is less marshmallow and a lot smaller. Now, Ive also quickly learned that the Switch 2s battery life isnt great , and Belkins Charging Case offers a solution, which is a slightly larger travel case with a dedicated spot for charging via a battery pack. Luckily, the higher price of $69.99 / 49.99 / AU$99.95 includes a 10K Power Bank and charging cable. That stores right under the bottom of your Switch 2 once inside and gets strapped in with a purposeful cable that can plug right into your console when its inside. The case is also available on Amazon in the US here and from Belkin directly in the UK here for 49.99 , or from Belkin directly in Australia here for AU$ 99.95. View Deal The main tray still fits the Switch 2 like a glove, and the interior of the top is nearly identical to the Travel Case. That means twelve spots for game cards, an AirTag slot, and mesh netting that can hold quite a bit of stuff. This is really a purpose-built option with a battery integrated, though I know it does add a bit more heft. It also has a handle, but lacks the extra embellishments its a bit more subtle. I do wish this had pass-through charging, but thats not the case here. Either way, though, I love these cases because they really stand out from the rest. Both are simple additions that make it a breeze to travel with the Switch 2 both near and far and the Travel Case is an affordable option that doesnt skimp on protection. I think your Switch 2 if youve managed to get one will be right at home. Both are backed by a two-year warranty as well.
