The Nintendo Switch 2 is an excellent gaming console, but the official Nintendo Switch 2 case you can get it for it is another story. For the $40 sticker price, it could be a lot better. Fortunately, If you want something that protects your Switch 2 while looking a lot nicer and still maintaining a slim profile, there’s a better alternative: the Tomtoc Slim.
Tomtoc has a history of making great cases for mobile electronics, including most current gaming handhelds like the original Switch and Switch Lite, Steam Deck, and Asus ROG Ally. Its signature trademark is the raised indent patterning for each handheld’s unique analog joystick and button layout. This is mostly an aesthetic touch, but it helps set Tomtoc cases apart from the clamshell design you’ll see for nearly every other case out there.
Material-wise, the Tomtoc is a hardshell case with a felt inner lining. It has an interior flap that can fit up to 12 game cards. Other features include a buckle strap and durable YKK zipper. The Tomtoc Slim is available in black, white, and gray, although only the black color has the multi-colored logo. Since this is a slim case, there’s no room to fit a charger.
If you’re looking for something roomier, Tomtoc also has a sling-style case that’s specifically made for portable gaming handhelds including the Switch 2. The padded compartment is shaped like a “W” to make room for a wide range of handhelds that have dual analog joysticks. It’s not specifically designed for the Switch 2, so don’t expect a molded fit, but there’s plenty of room here to fit extra controllers, a charger or power bank, and more.
Nintendo Switch 2 orders have shipped and many lucky gamers are playing Mario Kart World as I write this. In addition to a new case, you might want to think about picking up some other Switch 2 accessories, like a MicroSD Express card for extra storage, a screen protector for extra protection, or a power bank for extra battery life. Check out the list of officially licensed Switch 2 accessories that are already up for preorder, including the all-new Switch 2 Pro controller.
