The Nintendo Switch is the fastest-selling console in U.S. history, and for good reason. Not only does it work great as a handheld and home console, but its Joy-Con grip controllers can be paired to your Android phone or PC. And Nintendo’s got the most incredible library of Switch games.

At the end of the day, you just can’t beat the versatility of a Switch OLED, Switch, or Switch Lite. There is one big pitfall, though: it’s fragile. If you plan on traveling with it, you’ll absolutely need a carry case to keep it safe. Most of your options are pretty small in size, so you may have to store extra Joy-Cons or your Pro Controller in a separate back.

The RDS Game Traveler Deluxe Travel Case is worth every penny, as it’s affordable and has tons of awesome features. If you’re looking for something that can accommodate the docking station and AC adapter, we recommend the larger Ivoler Deluxe System Case.

Whether you’re looking for something simple and inexpensive or all the bells and whistles, these are some of the best Nintendo Switch cases on the market right now.

The RDS case comes with two transparent containers that hold four games each and two SD card holders (for additional storage when you need it).

Best Overall
RDS Game Traveler Deluxe Travel Case

The RDS Industries Game Traveler Deluxe has everything I could possibly want in a case. In fact, I’d even say it’s the most well-rounded on this list. The screen protector is nicely cushiony and serves as a buffer between the storage pouch and game cartridges. It also comes with two transparent containers that hold four games each and two SD card holders (for additional storage when you need it).

Our only gripe is with the little all-purpose storage pouch, which is too small. You can probably fit a pair of earbuds or joy-con wrist straps in there, but not much else. Aside from this minor nitpick, this case really has a lot to offer. Plus, it comes in all different colors and the outside material, made of hard rubber, is very durable.

If you want to take your docking station or AC adapter with you, this is not the bag. Check out the Ivoler (see below) instead.

Pros

  • Ideal for traveling light

  • Plenty of space for your Switch and games

Cons

  • Doesn't hold any of your other accessories

Not only is the Ivoler durable, but it also holds absolutely everything, including the docking station and nineteen games.

Best Large Case
Ivoler Deluxe System Case

The Ivoler case is an absolute beast, and we mean that in the best way possible. Not only is it durable, it holds absolutely everything, including the docking station and nineteen games. And yet I was able to fit it inside a medium-sized backpack. If LAN parties are your thing, then this is the perfect case for that, and at a great price.

While there’s a lot we love about this case, we do have one minor nitpick. The game cartridge holders are almost too snug. I never thought I’d ever utter that sentence, but you actually have to use some force to get the games out.

Pros

  • Extra spacious and durable

  • Holds everything you need for your Switch

Cons

  • The cartridge sleeves are just a little too snug

The Tomtoc case doesn’t hold as many games as other cases, but it’s still a personal favorite of mine. It's the thinnest case on this list, with a sophisticated design that doesn’t scream “gamer.” The one downside is that it only holds eight games and a Switch console. There's no storage pouch for additional Nintendo Switch accessories.

Pros

  • Ultra-thin, stylish design

  • Holds eight game cartridges

Cons

  • Doesn't hold any of your other accessories

For those that like options when they travel, the Hestia Goods case holds up to twenty game cartridges. Pack the whole game collection if you want to. For the low price point, it's not too shabby.

The thing we like best about it is the long pull tab that sits in the main cavity. This feature makes taking your Switch out of the case easy as pie. All you have to do is pull the tab towards you and out pops your beloved system.

Pros

  • Perfect for travel

  • Holds up to 20 game cartridges

  • Easy to remove your Switch

Cons

  • None that we could find

PowerA Hybrid Cover

The PowerA hybrid cover is more of a screen protector than a traditional case, reminiscent of a Kindle cover. The material is nice and looks more expensive than it really is.

We like how you can use it as a kickstand, too. Oh, and it comes with a microfiber cleaning cloth. Begone, finger smudges!

Pros

  • Functions as a kickstand

  • Nice, soft material reminiscent of a Kindle cover

  • Includes a microfiber cleaning cloth

Cons

  • None that we could find

The Techmatte case holds up to fourteen game cartridges and has a detachable wrist strap. Those features are neat, but we couldn’t really look past the flimsy straps inside the case.

They’re just not strong enough to keep the Switch console in place, which kind of defeats the purpose. The case itself also has a little too much flex to it.

Pros

  • Holds up to 14 game cartridges

  • Detachable wrist strap

Cons

  • Flimsy straps

  • The case has just a little too much flex

While we liked the rubber material the Orzly case is made of, the fit is another matter. You can actually hear the console move around quite a bit if you shake the case back and forth. It may not be the best option if you're paranoid about your Switch.

Pros

  • Sturdy rubber material

Cons

  • Not a very snug fit

According to reviewers, this easy-to-install Nintendo Switch OLED Model (2021) case has great quality. It is designed with shock absorbing TPU and unbending PC to keep your Nintendo Switch protected from drops. It also includes a front cover to keep out dust and prevent scratches.

Five built-in game card slots make it easy to bring your favorite switch games on the go. This ultra thin case is even comfortable to hold with its textured edges and ergonomic design.

Pros

  • Great quality

  • Easy snap-on design

  • 5 built-in game card slots

Cons

  • Not very snug

How to put your Nintendo Switch in its case

The Switch is an amazing piece of hardware, but it’s expensive and incredibly delicate. That’s why your case should fit the dimensions of your console. The better your case fits your console, the more protected it will be. But it’s important to understand what these cases can and cannot do.

They’re designed to absorb shocks from minor drops and repel a bit of water, but that’s about it. If you’re traveling with your console, we’d recommend sticking the case inside of a backpack for additional protection.

How to clean a Nintendo Switch case

Before you clean your case, you’ll want to first remove your gaming console and put it somewhere far, far away (electronics and water don’t mix). We’d recommend spot-cleaning the case with dish soap and warm water. Then you’ll want to make sure the case is completely dry before putting your Switch inside.
