I put on the handle covers. Teddy bear to be honest. But it's worth it in the end! They still slide back and forth like they should. However, they prevent you from using any of those blocks that turn knobs into a controller (you know what I mean?). But it's okay, really. The middle plate also prevents you from docking the device, but it detaches very easily, so that's fine too. Honestly I like it. He's super cute and protective of my Switch and a joy to handle!
