I've always wanted a protective case that I can dock, I have already bought a protective case but in order to use it I had to I always remove the joycons installation screen, and then put the joycons on. Then if I wanted to dock the console, I would have to detach the joysticks again and take the screen out of the protective case, then I could dock it. With this item, it's like having a protective phone case on your Nintendo Switch without even having to take it off. You can actually dock without removing the case. I'll admit that it sits a little tight on the dock when first docked. At first I thought it didn't fit, but if you push a little, it does and then the dock actually starts to get used to the size. To be honest, this item is not very expensive and I think it's worth buying if you really want to protect your Nintendo Switch. The Nintendo Switch is quite an expensive item and I thought it would be worth paying a small amount for this protective case so that I can protect my Nintendo Switch. I am very happy with it, I hope it helps anyone who is thinking about buying this item.
