Great Portable Stand for Switch

I bought this portable switch stand for my switch lite so that I could take a controller on the go while traveling and have something to hold my switch while I play since the switch lite does not come with a built-in kickstand like the normal switch does.It works great and is easy to use if you're thinking about purchasing for children. You just pop it open, adjust it to the level that you would like, and then fold down the tab that actually holds the switch. It's very easy to use and seems…

Pros
  • A must if you're a Switch owner and enjoy playing in tabletop mode. The Pikachu design is cute.
Cons
  • It takes up space on your gaming surface, even when not in use

Worth a Look on my review.

Much better than the built-in kickstand. Has plastic nubs to keep the console in place. The base is pretty sturdy. I haven't had any accidents with it falling over under the weight of the console. It also has holes cut out to allow the exhaust ports on the console to breath.There are three play positions, but I mostly use one to avoid back pain. I'm not sure who would use the lowest position, it's kind of awkward.I like the height of the console as well. It brings it up from the table to a…

Pros
  • Officially Licensed by Nintendo and The Pokemon Company International
Cons
  • The Pikachu design may not be popular in all regions

Great little stand.

I mainly bought this because my Switch is in a Mumba Blade Series case (one that is dockable). I mainly bought this because the kickstand on the Switch is not the best to start with and so that I wouldn't have to take it in and out of the case.My Switch fitted perfectly on this stand and it is very portable. I use this stand mainly on tabletops or in my bed. I saw some other reviewers asking if this would work in bed, and if you have a nice flat memory foam mattress or the like, it should work…

Pros
  • This is a must have for Zelda gamers or collectors
Cons
  • The Pikachu design may not be popular with non-Pokemon fans

Perfect stand on my review.

As someone who can't play my switch docked onto the TV, I was looking for a stand where I could prop up the screen at a decent height and be able to play in a hand held mode. Hori has always made good products that I often used for the 3DS, so I knew they wouldn't disappoint for my switch, so I have no regrets buying this over ones that were a bit cheaper. The Zelda design is REALLY nice and the stand is built nicely.The rubber grips do collect dust easily but that's not a fault of the product…

Pros
  • Nintendo Switch
Cons
  • The stand may not fit larger Switch screens

Does what it does need say more.

Not prefect but does the job. It allows you to use the game at any angle and still enjoy gameplay. I done this already with Botw and when the system runs low battery I can just plug in the USB-C cable to charge and keep gaming. This is something the kickstand will not allow. I even used it on my computer desktop it stays secure due to the rubber feets on the stand and rubber pads on the Switch backing holds it from sliding also the two little nubs helps to properly secure the Switch in play…

Pros
  • Worked out well
Cons
  • The stand is not adjustable, so it may not be at the optimal angle for all gamers

About as good as it gets

This is my second one of these. My first one was knocked onto a concrete floor and unfortunately broke. Regardless, this is one of the best stands for the switch, hands down. If you are thinking of using a phone or tablet stand, make sure it lets the Switch vent heat. The cut outs on this are just right to help ventilate my switch and the notch in the base allows the usb-c cable for my genki covert dock. I like that it lays flat so it’s easy to pack.I find HORI products in general to be of high

Pros
  • October 6, 2020
Cons
  • The Pikachu design may not be popular with gamers outside of Japan

A must-buy for the tabletop Switch user

As a college student, I don't have constant access to a television. Therefore I use my Switch in handheld mode all the time. The problem with the built-in kickstand is that you can't charge the Switch while playing, and actually holding the Switch while charging it is uncomfortable.I honestly can't remember what it was like before buying this (except that I would play, then set it down to charge. Not play and charge). I love that I can choose the angle for up-close, mid, and far Switch viewing.

Pros
  • Folds up for portability
Cons
  • The stand may not offer the best viewing angle for some gamers

A nice alternative to the tv or handheld

This is a nice alternative to holding the switch or if the kids have the tv and won’t give it up. Better yet - kick the kids off the tv and have them play on this as an alternative. It is easy to set up and won’t make you tear your hair out when you see your kids sprawled out over the couch with the power cord all stretched out.

Pros
  • The playstand is made from high-quality materials, and is built to last, with a sturdy construction that provides excellent stability and support for your Switch
Cons
  • The stand may not work with all Switch gaming modes

On its way to being the peak lazy-player platform

Ok, the purchase of this all started from some blog article I read somewhere where a guy was daydreaming of being able to play his Switch while laying down, with the unit resting on his stomach/chest and his hands resting further down by his waist. I know. Like.how lazy can you get? Amirite? So obviously I wanted to emulate this man's plan exactly because it can take a toll on your neck after hours of playing Zelda propped on a pillow on your stomach. I mean, no one needs that kind of…

Pros
  • Lithium Ion batteries required. (included)
Cons
  • The stand may not be durable enough for long-term use

Nice little stand.: my feedback

Nice little stand. Use it all the time. The only reasons I gave it 4 and not 5 stars is because I wish it had one more position that was almost totally upright. If I’m playing in my recliner I can’t kick back to far because the screen is angled just a bit too far. And I wish each position could kind of lock in more. If the support gets tapped when the stand is being repositioned the stand can drop flat. But I still love the stand. I love that it goes flat when not in use. It small and feather…

Pros
  • Italian, English
Cons
  • The stand may become unstable over time

Cooler Than Expected!

After waiting quite a while, I'm glad to say that it's finally here! Upon arrival I was happy to have finally received it, however, I wasn't excited enough to try it out right then and there. A couple hours had passed and I found myself sitting there bored so I figured I'd check it out, and I have to say it's actually cooler than I had expected! Typically, I like sitting back and playing my Switch when it's connected to my TV but now I have a new appreciation for using it in tabletop mode…

Pros
  • This is amazing I love it easy to use hold pretty good I recommend it
Cons
  • The stand is not portable, so it may not be suitable for travel

Perfect for table top, and switch lite

Fantastic. Just what I needed. I like watching shows on my TV and I don't want to always hold my switch. Looking down all the time isn't good for your neck anyways. So I went looking for a stand and after reading reviews I ordered this one. And it way exceeds my expectations.Its sturdy, has several angles so I can adjust the angle. The lip that the switch sits on has a nice wide gap for you to plug your switch in for powered play.This is allowing me to play hours of animal crossing without…

Pros
  • Video Game
Cons
  • The Pikachu design may be too distracting for some gamers

Chintzy, overpriced piece of plastic not worthy of its branding

I've never had a bad experience with Hori or Nintendo hardware before. Even Hori's budget products have always seemed like works of pride and craftsmanship rather than cynical greed. I cannot say the same for this product.The plastic itself feels cheap and toylike. I'm no plastics expert, but I've handled enough high-quality and low-quality gear to tell the difference. As a point of comparison, the case and dock of the Nintendo Switch are of far superior quality. It's almost insulting to rest…

Pros
  • if you're a Zelda fan and you own a switch this is definitely a good buy love it
Cons
  • The stand is only compatible with the Nintendo Switch, limiting its usability

Exactly what we needed

My son likes it.Works great for his switch. No more sliding while he’s watching it or trying to play his game. Small and compact so he can take it anywhere.

Pros
  • A mi hijo le encantó.
Cons
  • The stand may interfere with the Switch's cooling system

"What Stand " in my review

This stand is a really great product. I love playing games on my Nintendo Switch. This stand has come to be a great addition for my Nintendo Switch. The reason why I initially went with this product is that of the current stand that is originally installed on the back of the Nintendo switch. The stand on the Nintendo switch has always greatly concerned me on the stability of how it is. Therefore I never used it as I was scared to break it and have seen many youtube videos of customers that…

Pros
  • With its lightweight and portable design, the playstand is perfect for travel, and can easily be packed away in a bag or backpack
Cons
  • The stand may not be easy to clean

Cons
  • The stand may not work with all Switch accessories

Awesome piece of equipment

While this is of course intended to be used for the Nintendo Switch- and I use it for that purpose- sometimes I use it to prop up and plug my phone to a fast charging cable so that I can participate in Zoom calls when I’m low on battery.

Pros
  • Bought it for my son for when he is using it hands free and works great for him
Cons
  • The Pikachu design may not appeal to all genders

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Expensive but good for my opinion

Although it is a but pricey it works nice and even hold my phone really good as well! It’s honestly saved me so many times when I had to charge my switch but just didn’t wanna hold it

Pros
  • Finally, the officially licensed Nintendo & Pokemon Pikachu Playstand is a great way to show your love for all things Nintendo and Pokemon, and is sure to be a hit with fans of all ages
Cons
  • The Pikachu design may fade over time with frequent use

HORI Compact Playstand for Nintendo Switch Review

The HORI Compact Playstand for the Nintendo Switch is adjustable to 30, 50 and 60 degree angles; it has two dowels that fit securely into slots on the bottom of the Nintendo Switch console to prevent it from sliding once placed on the stand. Using the Switch on the adjustable playstand is certainly an upgrade over the built-it kickstand on the backside, on top of allowing the system to be charged while gaming, the raised height is also a more ergonomic setup and rubber placements around the…

Pros
  • The black and gold design of the playstand is both modern and timeless, and will look great on any desk or gaming station
Cons
  • The Pikachu design may not be popular with some cultures

The most useful and valuable Switch Lite accessory I own!

This thing is the best investment I've ever made for my Switch Lite. I used a kickstand on my Lite case and a playstand/dock before because I mainly play in tabletop mode with a pro controller. But it was always difficult to get the dock at the right angle or charge with the case, this thing is a lifesaver! It can tilt to whatever angle I need it at, the holes for the charging cord make it super effecient with space, it folds so you can probably fit in any decent size travel case, plus unlike…

Pros
  • The playstand is compatible with all Nintendo Switch models, and is easy to set up and use, making it perfect for gamers of all levels
Cons
  • The stand may not be compatible with all Switch wall mounts
