Review on TAKECASE Carrying Case for Nintendo Switch and New OLED - Protective Hard Case with Adapter/Charger Pouch, Accessories, 19 Game Storage - Travel-Friendly - Pink/Black by Jeff Sorensen

Revainrating 5 out of 5

All in all a sturdy, detachable bag that will hold all your small accessories

I've used this bag long enough to finally give it a solid review and recommendation. For starters, I've also previously had a Skull & Co hard case for their grip case and found this case to be a better fit for those intending to carry their entire set of switches on the go. Pros: Competitive price for what fits in - Available in multiple colors - Holds a crazy amount of game cards - Fits Genki dock, HDMI cords and cables with plenty of room - Recessed curves on four edges for joycon shapes - Stands up to my sedentary cat Disadvantages: - Slight factory smell on the first day. If I left it open, it disappeared pretty quickly. It was sealed in a plastic bag, maybe because of that, but to be honest it was softer than some other console cases I've had. The bottom fits perfectly, no bottlenecks. However, this results in derailleur width changing housings such as the grip housing not fitting properly, so your mileage may vary. As soon as I put my rod in my cat, she decided to put all her weight on it and I went nuts. Of course I checked the case and it wasn't broken or damaged in any way. Whatever outer shell you use for the case, it just works. I had a specific use case as I like to take my mini dock and charger with me everywhere, so having a case that could hold all of these parts and a few others was really handy. It generally doesn't fit in a regular dock, but the mini docks you see on Amazon will fit with a charger. I've included a picture showing the docking station I'm using along with the cables to give an idea of the space. It's a deep pocket over the switch in the top half of the case, so you don't have to worry about it pressing against the console, as the game flaps are made of a hard material that secures the center area of the switch screen with Velcro. The recessed bottom is very important here, as it allows the switch's joysticks to act with equal force at all corners. Cases that don't have this will exert uneven force due to the shape of the handles. The bottom material in my case was also very soft, so I wasn't afraid of scratches. I've included the image above showing the joystick vertically next to the body to also give an idea of the height relative to what you have in case you don't have a ruler since this is the switch body after all. :-) If you have any questions, comments or would like me to review something, feel free to reply.

Pros
  • Great overall performance
Cons
  • Crumpled
