Review on Satisfye – ZenGrip Pro Slim Bundle for Nintendo Switch with Accessories: Grip, Slim Case, Bonus 2 Thumbsticks by David Turner

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Not as good as hoped, but great case.

Ok good item, absolutely fine, no defects and sturdy enough for travel. The wearing properties are also very good. The case feels like felt/velvet, which I really appreciate. The fact is that he has two stars and no handle. If I gave five stars I wouldn't use the crank. I have the Nintendo Switch version of Animal Crossing ie V2. It takes some effort to insert into the Satisfye's handle, but it holds tight. The grip keeps your hands on the side of the system, which I feel is overkill. The grip feels pleasantly rubbery, no plastic feel at all. He does what he says, but I have a problem. The handle holds back pressure with rubber knots. There's a gap that helps with cooling and airflow, but I'm afraid it'll mess up the back of my Switch after a while if I take it off to dock, which will be daily. Joy-Cons become worn, scratched, or smudged due to a sharp protrusion along the edge of the grip. The photos show how it already left streaks on the plastic of the Joy-Cons after putting it on. Does it make playing on the Switch easier? Yes, but at a price. After prolonged use, it wears out on the back of the system and definitely on the edges of my Joy-Cons. Since I have a special version of the Switch, I very much doubt I will continue to use it. If cosmetic wear and tear on your system isn't an issue, a stylus is a good option if you have more Joy-Cons or aren't concerned with the scratches or smudges that might result. Another thing is that like a canopy, there is a distance from the shoulders to the clutch. It's not too bad, but it doesn't sit flush with the back of the system, so I sometimes felt like reaching a little further than I would have liked to reach for the shoulder buttons. Not bad, but I noticed it. I also feature a competitor to the Satisfye grip line, the RDS Industries grip, which is officially licensed. Now I have and have used both and I can safely say that I prefer the RDS grip. It's far from perfect, but its flaws don't affect my system in the way I would normally notice. Good that in this case an RDS Grip with a connected system is sufficient. That's a bonus for me. I'll be using a Satisfye case, but I don't recommend using the grip if you want your Switch to remain as cosmetically pristine as possible. This may be the pro version of the Satisfye grip, but I feel like I lost some money trying. After all the great reviews I have to say this is a pass for me but I really like this case.
