Just ordered a console for Xmas and was looking for a case.

Came across this for only £8.99 @ argos.

C&C and available Online.

Great price for an official Nintendo item.

Cheapest around seems to be around £15 - £20.

Hope it helps someone out there.

Happy Christmas!!

    I have mine in a clear case and then use a usb c extension to connect it to the dock. I'd rather do this then keep taking it out of the case.

    I was also paranoid about the dock scratching the switch (front and back) so this way I don't have to worry.

    Here is a pic.

    It's a usb c extension cable. It plugs into the connector inside the dock, where the switch would connect when docked. It's a bit fiddly but works fine once connected.

    I used cable clips to keep it in place.

    Here is the cable I use:

    Game has a large premium case for a tenner until the end of the week. Available online too. I bought it and it's quite sturdy - also has space for games and accessories (except the pro controller). I posted a deal here several days back

    Thanks I’ve got that massive gioteck case at the moment which is great for taking it on long trips but have been looking for a smaller case for more general day use to just throw in my work bag

    Thanks OP. Had a £5 voucher so got it for £3.99. Can’t go wrong with it as long as it offers some protection to put it in a backpack

    What about the edges? Do you think it can handle a knock?

    Great idea thanks. Will order one a USB-C extension cable. Cheers.

    There is only one case that will dock on the switch thats the Nyko Slim but even that one is causing problems with docking.
    Believe me Ive looked everywhere.In the meantime if you want a great case for handheld mode I am using this and its great,they do one a bit slimmer as well but this is best for protection.Now looking for a case that this will fit into LOL

    I cant find anything similar for the switch. Which is a shame - because its a great case!

    Good deal but if you can wait for shipping ordering cases from china is often cheaper.

    No, you will have to take it out of the case to put it in the dock. That's why I suggested the extension cable in my comment.
