Snaps on perfectly and has decent protection.Joycon covers make pushing buttons kind of difficult, maybe because it's new.

A good protective case for scratches, beware does not fit certain controllers if on. Does fit with normal joycons

The plastic covers for the joycons are great; FYI if you use the game cartridge storage on the back of either joycon, you will need to slide the joycons off the console first in order to access the cartridges. NOTE: the joycon covers make it much harder to slide the joycons on/off, as the button to release the slide is inset so much that you either need to use your nail or a pen to depress the button. That said, the plastic cover for the console itself is somewhat disappointing--only really good for preventing some scratches on the back. The console cover is very flimsy, essentially just a frame for the upper and lower parts of the console. If you don't often dock your Switch, I would recommend a console case with more protection.

I purchased (2) of these cases to protect each of the Nintendo Switch consoles I bought my 9 and 10 year olds at Christmas time. I went w/ this item due to its clear, hard plastic design and claims that, in addition to providing drop protection, the actual switch would fit inside of docking station w/out having to remove the case. Unfortunately, other than being transparent, none of the other advertised features are true. In order to use the dock, quite a bit of force is necessary to push the switch down far enough to seat and connect. Also, the “hard” plastic that surrounds the screen to provide protection is so very thin and super flimsy, but probably the most frustrating is that, the pieces that are to surround the joy-cons are supposed to fit together by way of tiny snap-together connectors that do NOT stay closed, especially at the top of the controller, regardless of how many times you try and pinch them together. More often than not, the joy-con covers pop off while playing, and are generally just ineffective. I really wanted to like these, but in all, I wish I had purchased a better designed, more quality case for my kids handheld consoles.

I got two of these on sale. I like the nyko brand from years ago i had spare controllers for my Wii built by them that worked good. I used them just the other day. The installation was a bit difficult, but once on it fits fair and you can dock this. The controller covers are nice, not sure my boys will used the toggle cover over the buttons much, as well as tha game storage. I got it maily for the small ammount more protection it may give the main body. You will have to remove the joycon covers if you want to place this in the pro cotroller converter. Again i didnt pay much, hopeful this will preserver the systems a bit. I would hesitently reccomend to others. I did not do research on other products like this so i think these will be fine, but better could be out there.

The d pad takes time to adjust to but it does the job the case is very fragile as others say but don't drop it you'll be fine cases like these are meant to absorb the impact to reduce damage so its meant to break because the impact absorbed mines still on one piece and it fits perfect in the dock

I Love the extra protection incase of an accidental drop. It has extra game storage. This is so convenient. Great feature. Still easy to play. Case does not throw off game play.

Convenient For What It Is

I enjoy this case but there are a few issues worth noting.
In terms of a case I think it has a lot of perks, it protects your console, joy cons, has 3 game storage compartments and an optional dpad cap. I wasnt a fan of the the buttons and exclusively use the dpad now and it's nice to carry around 3-4 games with me at all times.
The issues with this case are compatibility issues. You're unable to use the cases on the joycons and apply them to the wireless controller adapter. so you'll either have to buy another set of joy cons, or some kind of pro controller if you don't want to undo the case all the time. also some third party joycons may have issues attaching to the case. It docks perfectly though,
In the end i ended up keeping the case over the minor compatibility issues. Because, for what it offers I enjoy using this for travel and handheld mode.

I feel this is definitely necessary to help keep your switch safe also holding it feels more comfortable to my hands but I must say it does pop off easy or get slightly loose I’m not sure about quality Control making them all the same and equal

I'm okay with this purchase. I like that its a clear case that also comes with a DPAD button. On my joycons I can barely clip the cases together. Its usuable, dockable and really light and cheap feeling. Overall, recommend for someone looking for a 1st purchase case that wouldn't mind that its not the best quality. I will be looking into buying a better more sturdier Switch case.

I recommend if you have younger kids playing on the Switch. Always get a little extra protection for your console
