It's just a great case

Switch bought two years ago. At the time, I was taking a case approved by Nintendo. He was thin, couldn't stand much. It cost $19.99 and after a while I thought it wasn't protecting enough. Especially when the cat bit him. So, six months later, I investigated other cases. I found all sorts of cases, but what impressed me was that Take Case offered protection and quality for the same $19.99 as "official" cases. A year and a half later, I'm still happy with the black case. But now I have a black and pink case. It was the only thing I wanted other than a sturdy case, a color I liked. First off, it's just as well made as my black case. Actually a little better. This time the embroidery is better. The latter had several faulty threads. The colors shown in the photos are accurate enough. The shell is very strong and resistant to crushing. Very small pink Take Case logo on the front. The nylon webbing is worn over the nylon sheath. The strap is durable and has a nice rubberized grip that's designed for airflow. The main zipper is a snug fit and the pull tabs are durable cast metal and powder coated. Very smooth operation. lounge soft! Looks like a good polyester lining. Stretch mesh and foam padding in the mesh upper. The top cover has an elastic mesh inside which is a thin soft foam rubber. The zipper works well but not so smoothly. A piece of nylon webbing is sewn together for traction. I was able to fit a set of official Joy Cons, an official power cord, a 12" x 12" cleaning cloth, a 3" x 3" cloth, and four official straps. It's a little more space. You could probably put headphones there. In the middle there are two flaps with holders for cartridges and memory cards. Covered in the same soft polyester with stretch mesh sleeves. Offers space for 19 game cards and two micro SD cards. It holds them in place and is easy to pull out again. I'm not a fan of micro SD card slots. It's more of a personal preference. An extra card I had came up. Went in far enough to be snug yet easy to get out again. The lower cover serves as a system holder. It has a good velcro closure. It is suitable for standard Nintendo Switch system. It's a molded fit with little room for a low profile modding case. There is a super soft strap that fits under the system to make it easier to take off. I would say there is about a 3/8 inch pocket between the outer shell and the molded insert. The insole is forgiving but well shaped. It's just air. It would be nice to see some foam there, but I don't think you could drop it hard enough to actually hit the back of the system at a normal, reasonable distance. Let's say 4 or so feet. I slammed this thing really hard on my arm and didn't even feel the system hit. YES, I had my system turned on in there! Aannnd. it still works. I took the black suitcase with me on the trip. I flew about 3-4 hours round trip. The thing passed both security checks safely and without any problems. Stored in a stuffed backpack. And on the way back an even more stuffed backpack. Plus about 6 hours drive. This pink bag should work just as well. I recommend this bag. It is definitely the best deal.

Pros
  • Delivery was very fast
Cons
  • Negative impression
