Back in the before times, the literal moment I secured a Nintendo Switch 2 pre-order, the first thing I did afterwards was head to Amazon (and it wasn’t even Prime Day!). If I’m buying a new device, you know darn well I’m getting a screen protector and a case with it, to avoid any first-day heartbreak.
The case I went for is from Tomtoc, in the form of its excellent Slim Carrying Case, and I have no regrets (even if Belkin then stepped up to send me an even slicker case with a charger included). Belkin’s cases aren’t on sale, though, whereas Tomtoc has added a welcome 20% discount to its superb case both in the UK and the US – making it an extremely compelling option if you’ve got the console, too.

While Belkin including a charger is a seriously neat bit of thinking, I think that most Switch 2 gamers will agree there are normally only two big priorities when buying a case for a portable like this.
Firstly, you want it to be genuinely protective, which the Tomtoc case manages nicely, thanks to a properly hard outer shell that you can practically knock on with a fist to prove its worth.
Secondly, you want it to be as slim as possible while maintaining that protection, and I’ve yet to find a single case anywhere that matches Tomtoc’s on this front. Plus, it does this while still offering an internal sleeve with game card slots, unlike Nintendo’s very similarly-priced official offering.
So, I’d say that makes this a winner of a case, and a brilliant buy for any new Switch 2 owner. That price is likely to end at the close of 11 July, so be sure to order yours while you can to save a small chunk of change.
