There are some downsides to having this cover on your switch, and some nice downsides. to get into the dock (I have a dock sock, that might be part of it). However, if you need constant protection (kids and/or clumsy people) and regularly dock the Switch, this case seems like the best way to go. I'm really surprised that all the snippets actually work well enough. The case fits well in the docking station. Considering what they're trying to do, this is a pretty impressive product.
