SAVE $13: As of July 16, the Lmcpa Switch 2 hard shell case is on sale for $12.99 at Amazon — that's 50% off its list price of $25.99.


Reliable Switch 2 cases outside of those from Nintendo have been a little inconsistent in terms of quality and pricing, but arguably the most decent budget-friendly third-party cases are now on sale for a limited time. As of July 16, the 7.9-inch Lmcpa Switch 2 Hard Shell Carrying Case is on sale for only $12.99 — 50% off its $25.99 list price. 

Built to house your Nintendo Switch 2, 20 game cartridges, and various accessories like added Joy-Cons and cables via its top mesh storage pocket, this hard EVA shell case is made of durable ballistic nylon that combines durability with style.

Your Switch 2 fits snugly in the interior’s spatial grooves. The exterior protects everything from any accidental drops and bumps you might encounter when getting really into Mario Kart World.

The soft micro-fibre lining of the interior does feel a little odd to the touch, but that slight irritation is worth knowing you’ve got that added layer of protection. Even when my case fell off the kitchen counter and out of my bag a couple of times, there was no damage whatsoever. The plastic carrying handle itself feels high-quality, and the added drawstring makes pulling your console out easier — so you barely need to touch said micro-fibre anyway.

And although the case itself is a little bit chunky, it does strike that fine balance between being able to pack in extra accessories and games without going overboard on size.

As I keep taking my case out to switch my cartridges from Super Mario Odyssey to Donkey Kong Bananza, I always feel easy knowing this nifty case will keep my Switch 2 safe if it slips out of my grasp.

Amazon has listed this as a “limited time” deal with no timeline, but the retailer has only allocated the price cut to a certain number of units — with 45% already being claimed at the time of writing. So act fast to secure this low price.
