So I finally managed to secure a preorder for the new Switch 2 and I am lowkey terrified of scratching that screen the second it comes out of the box. I have this huge trip to Tokyo planned for late August which is basically right after the launch window if the rumors hold up and I really need something that can handle a 14 hour flight stuffed inside a cramped backpack. I was looking at some of those early listings on Amazon from brands like Mamba and some Hori leaks but honestly they look like they might just be rebranded Switch OLED cases?
I read somewhere that the dimensions are just different enough that the old stuff wont fit properly especially with the new magnetic rail thing for the joycons. I dont want to spend a fortune maybe like 40 bucks max but I need something that actually has a hard shell and maybe space for a power bank because we all know the battery is probably gonna be mid. Does anyone know if there are legit tested cases out yet or should I just wait until launch day and risk it? I really dont want to be the guy who drops his brand new console in the airport terminal...

@Reply #2 good point! Unfortunately most early listings are not as good as expected. I had issues with flimsy shells before, so I grab the Skull & Co. Maxcarry Case for Switch 2.

Im really satisfied with the Orzly Hard Shell Carry Case for Switch 2 specs tbh. It handles those magnetic rails perfectly and fits a battery under forty bucks. No complaints.

In my experience, the dimension shift for the new hardware is definitely gonna make old cases a mess, especially with those magnetic rails. Ive tried many setups over the years and honestly, just go with Spigen for your gear. They usually nail the technical tolerances way better than cheap clones. Better to wait for their official launch lineup than risk some generic rebrand that might crush your screen...
