Nintendo Switch 2 All-In-One Carrying Case: review

If you’re looking to buy a case for your shiny new Nintendo Switch 2, you may have come across the official Nintendo Switch 2 All-In-One Carrying Case. This model is large enough to house your Nintendo Switch 2 console, but also everything else you’d need to enjoy the console in TV mode.

Yep, there really is a lot of room to play with here. I’m talking slots for your console, dock, controllers… the full works. But with a list price of $84.99 / £66.99 / AU$109.95, is it really worth investing in? I tested it across multiple days to find out…

If, like me, you’re someone who much prefers playing your Nintendo Switch 2 in TV mode, then this case has you covered. It’s large and spacious, with individual compartments designated for your console, dock, Joy-Con 2 controllers, Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller, and more. There’s also a zip-up pouch for you to store cables and any additional bits and pieces.

I was easily able to fit everything I needed within the case – something I can’t say about any other case I’ve tested.

The only aspect that could be improved storage-wise is an increase in physical game card slots. You only get six here – less than some third-party options like the Belkin Charging Case for Nintendo Switch 2, for instance. Still, if you’re taking a short trip – perhaps to game at a friend’s house, for example – six slots will probably be plenty.

Let’s talk durability – a pretty big factor when deciding on which case to buy. Now this model is certainly durable enough. No, it’s not got a rock-hard exterior or anything – it’s more flexible than some rivals. Still, it’s got a decent amount of padding, and the material used for the exterior is rough enough to deal with drops and scratches. On top of that, there’s a protective flap for your Switch 2 console and dock.

I tried throwing the case on the floor and giving it a good scratch, and I didn’t see any damage, so no complaints from me.

I do have a couple of complaints, though. Firstly, the case’s handle is pretty narrow and doesn't extend all too much. As a result, it felt undersized in my hand. But as someone with relatively large hands, I wanted to get some additional opinions. Unfortunately, everyone in my office agreed that the handle’s extension and shape were too limiting, with one colleague noting that this resulted in a weak overall grip.

Secondly, I’d argue that the design is a little one-note. It's entirely black with no fun detailing of note. That’s not the be-all and end-all – but I would’ve liked to see a splash of color, or at the least, a few colorful options. As an official case, I feel like there was an opportunity to make use of Nintendo’s amazing IPs for a more charismatic look.

Finally, and you may have seen this coming, we need to talk about that price. This is definitely the most spacious case I’ve tested. It’s also durable and secure. But $84.99 / £66.99 / AU$109.95 is quite the investment – especially when a lot of third-party rivals are charging around half of that for a similar sort of build.

All in all, then, is the Nintendo Switch 2 All-In-One Carrying Case worth it? Well, I’m pretty torn. On one hand, I can see myself using this due to a combination of abundant storage space and solid durability. On the other hand, I’m not convinced that it's priced particularly well, and I was disappointed with the awkward handle and slightly limited number of game slots. If you’ve got the cash, it’s an option worth considering – otherwise, I’d recommend checking out some third-party alternatives.

Despite high storage and ruggedness, it’s very expensive and not without its flaws.

Buy it if…

You want a highly secure case
I was more than satisfied with the durability of Nintendo’s official all-in-one case. It’s got a hardy, yet flexible exterior, a protective flap for your Switch 2 console and dock, and secure compartments for all of your accessories.

You’ve got plenty of accessories
Yes, if you’ve got an additional controller – such as the Pro Controller 2, for example – as well as Joy Con 2 grip and straps and cables, it should all fit with ease. Of course, you have space for your dock too.

Don’t buy it if…

You want the best bang for your buck
With a list price of $84.99 / £66.99 / AU$109.95, Nintendo's official all-in-one case is quite the investment. And although it's both durable and spacious, I'm not sure it's quite worth that much. A rival like the Nacon case in the 'Also consider' section, for example, is large enough to house your console, dock, and cables. And although it doesn't have as much room for accessories, it's still durable and easy to handle, while also coming in at around half the price.

You want to carry a large number of games around
Don’t get me wrong, six game slots is solid enough, and if you’re only taking a short trip, that should be enough. But there are competitors who offer 10 or more game card slots, so it would’ve been nice to get a couple more here.

Nintendo Switch 2 All-In-One Carrying Case review: also consider

Nacon Protection Case XL for Nintendo Switch 2
Unfortunately, this one’s not available in the US or Australia just yet, but if you’re in the UK, the Nacon Protection Case XL is the ideal alternative to Nintendo’s full-sized model. It comes in at under £25 (about $34 / AU$50), but still has enough room for your console, dock, and cables. It won’t quite offer the space for a Pro Controller as well, say, but if that’s ok with you, then you may get better bang for your buck with Nacon.

How I tested the Nintendo Switch 2 All-In-One Carrying Case

(Image credit: Future)

• Tested over the course of multiple days
• Compared directly against rival models
• Trialled by a Switch 2 owner and life-long gamer

I tested the Nintendo Switch 2 All-In-One Carrying Case over multiple days. I loaded it up with a Nintendo Switch 2 console, dock, Joy-Cons, a third-party controller, cables, games… you name it.

Although I wasn’t particularly keen to drop the case with my console inside, I threw it onto the floor while empty. I also tried scratching the exterior and checked for any wear after a few days of use. I also compared aspects like sturdiness and storage space against the Nacon Protection Case XL for Nintendo Switch 2.

Generally speaking, I’m a Switch 2 owner, lifelong gamer, and experienced tech reviewer. I’ve had the Switch 2 from launch, and have reviewed a bunch of accessories, like the Genki Aegis Shield, DBrand Prism 2.0, and Hori Piranha Plant Camera for Nintendo Switch 2.
