What Are the Best Cases for the Nintendo Switch 2?
The Nintendo Switch 2 has finally arrived, and if you're lucky enough to get your hands on this stellar console, you'll want to keep it safe. Like any premium gaming device, the right protective case is essential—not just to protect your investment but also to represent your style. With numerous options flooding the market, how do you pick the best case for your Nintendo Switch 2? Enter WaterField Designs, offering the Magnetic Case and the CitySlicker Case, two high-quality options that stand above the rest in both functionality and craftsmanship.
Why Does Your Nintendo Switch 2 Need a High-Quality Case?
While the Nintendo Switch 2 enhances your gaming experience with its innovative new features, this handheld is still vulnerable to scratches, bumps, and wear. A proper case protects it from daily play, travel hazards, or that inevitable moment it slips from your hands. At the same time, a well-designed case makes carrying your console and accessories not only convenient but stylish. The right case doesn’t just fit your gaming lifestyle; it upgrades it.
What Makes a Premium Switch 2 Case?
The best cases seamlessly blend protection, functionality, and design. They’re durable enough to endure accidental drops, spacious enough to fit accessories, and visually appealing without going over the top. Here's why WaterField Designs' products check all these boxes and more.
The Magnetic Case for Nintendo Switch 2
Unique Magnetic "Zipper" for Seamless and Safe Closure
WaterField’s Magnetic Case for Nintendo Switch 2 introduces an innovative closure system that sets it apart from traditional zippered cases. Instead of relying on zippers that can snag, break, or damage your console, this case uses rare-earth magnets embedded along its opening for smooth and secure access. No fuss. No snagging. Just effortless functionality. This hand magnetic zipper is also incredibly quiet, so you won't draw attention to yourself when opening the case. Finally, it can provide nice quality of life features like in-case charging.
Cushioned Interior and Compact Design
The case includes a plush interior liner that cradles your Switch while protecting it from scratches and shocks. Its lightweight, compact structure won't bulk up your bag, making it the perfect travel partner for any gaming adventure.
The outer shell of the case is made from either 15 oz. waxed canvas, ballistic nylon, or full-grain leather. Each of these materials is rugged, water-resistant, and long-lasting.
Smart Storage and Practicality
Inside, you'll find pockets tailored to hold accessories like charging cables, and a dedicated front pocket for game cards ensures added convenience. Optional add-ons, like a carabiner, provide additional carrying flexibility for gamers on the go.
Perfect for: Gamers who value convenience paired with cutting-edge design and advanced features, especially those seeking to avoid zipper-based hazards.
Starting at $89. Available in materials like ballistic nylon, waxed canvas, or genuine full-grain leather for a touch of luxury.
