Exactly what I needed

I'm going to be honest. At first, I did a really dumb move by wiping the glass protector (the adhesive part) just because I saw a piece of dust in it... Man did that make things way more difficult. Anyways, if you ever you have that part by accident, use tape, roll it on your finger and just gently get whatever is on the adhesive part. That worked! And after that, the glass was so clear like it wasn't even there. Good thing I didn't waste money on a Zagg. If you're worried about your switch being scratched in any way (especially the dock) get this! And the armor it comes with feels nice too, covers everything including the joy cons. Only a little bad thing is the bottom part of the armor feels a little loose, but that's because it is a dockable thin armor and it would just block the charging port if it was ant thicker and lose the feature of being docked while still having that armor. Still an awesome buy! Plus! It's clear colored! Shows of original switch colors. Wouldn't worry about it being scratched no more with this.

Fits perfect. Protects the switch if you’re sensitive from fingerprints and any smudges on the back of the switch and joycons it provides protection as well. Fits in the dock perfectly. You’ll have a difficult time removing the joycons cover, but other then that definitely a must to keep your switch clean.

YES, FINALLY! Santa came thru for us with the Eevee Switch and now with this case we no longer have to worry about scratching it! The screen protector is REAL DEAL. Glad we got it! I may even order another for my second launch edition switch.

Picked up this case specifically because it was clear. I like the look of the Switch and felt no need to cover the way it looks. Case was easy to install, but did feel flimsy when installing the section around the screen, but once it snapped in, it was in pretty solid. Was also pleasantly surprised with the screen protector that came with it, it is not the clear film that you would expect. Install of everything was super easy, and it fits in the dock with no issues.

I needed something to protect my Switch when docking and undocking and was looking for something thin, that felt good in my hand when used for handheld gaming. This skin is just what I was looking for and since its clear, it doesn't hide the cool neon colored joycons either. The only downside is the - & + symbols are difficult to push with your finger, however I'm used to pushing these buttons with my fingernail. Overall would buy again, does exactly what I wanted it to.

5 stars if you do NOT use the Adjustable Stand. Fits like a glove and feels really nice!
Since I don't use my switch at home, I have always use the Adjustable Stand (by Nintendo) to dock/charge it at my desk. With this case on, it does not fully connect with the stand and thus will not charge. It's super annoying to remove and replace every time I need to charge.

Been looking for something like this that WILL fit into the dock without removing the case. This case does that just fine, it is a little snug but nothing to forceful. As far as protection works great for a scratches and scuffs but nothing from drops. U can remove the joycons from the switch just fine, does not interfere with the slide connection. The only thing that it does not work on is the joycons controller. With the cases on the joycons it will not fit on the joycons controller attachment. Doesn't bother me too much since I have a pro controller and most games function just fine with just one joycons. It's worth getting if ur looking for some to dock and add lil protection when undocked this is it.

I bought this item on a whim because I had a coupon for extra reward points when you spend a certain amount of money in-store only. I do own a Nintendo Switch but was still debating how to protect it, then I saw this on the shelf at Best Buy (it was also the last one at the time) and I bought it.
Wow, I was skeptical before even walking out of the store with this about how well it would really work to protect my Switch, and to my surprise it fits and functions perfectly! The molding cut outs for the hard case that surrounds the actual Switch unit is perfectly cut, and then the rubber surrounds for the joy-cons also fit perfectly and are easy to install/remove as desired.
This is an easy and well priced item that is worth buying to protect your Nintendo Switch!
Note: I did not install the screen protector this comes with

The case was bought to protect my son’s Nintendo switch. Very practical. Especially since it serves as a case and screen protector. The only issue we had was the fact that it was difficult to detach the joy con from the holder of you have the case on. Other than that, it is a great way to protect your switch.

The case is a great skin / case for protecting the switch and its controllers. I am able to put the Switch into the dock without issues. The only pain point is that the controller sleeves prevent the Joy-Cons from being inserted into the Joy-Con grip.

I bought this with the expectation of the main clear case (for the screen/unit) to be a secure fit...the clear covers for each controller fits well, however the snap feature that is supposed to hold the front and back sides of this protector will not stay put. I have tried this several times, even without the unit in just to see if I am lining it up incorrectly, but I believe it is a design flaw possibly. I really have never returned anything but I may have to one this one.

The thin case fits nicely on the switch and has no problems going into the dock and the clear joy con protectors let the neon colors shine while also adding solid protection against bumps and scratches.

So far this case seems to do what I want. It's very thin so it can fit in the dock. But don't expect to be able to drop it much, it provides minimal protection. The screen protector is a nice surprise. The joy con covers are separate which allows you to remove them from the console without taking off the cover. They're very difficult to remove, so if you want use the joy con grip, get another set of joy cons.

This case allows the switch to fit in the charger without taking it off. The screen protector has proven it value, already cracked but didn't break the screen.

My 7 year old isn't very careful each time he docks the Switch. After getting this I no longer have to worry about the abuse my console is subject to. One thing to note is the joy-cons will no longer fit in the comfort grip and you don't want to be putting these covers on and off. It's no big deal for me as I have 2 more pairs of joy-cons. However I still bought a cheap grip and disassembled it and just kept the flat part that connects the two joy-cons together to play in docked mode. It is not as comfortable but it works well for my son's small hands.
