Belkin Switch 2 Box
A few weeks ago, I finally got to use the Nintendo Switch 2. I absolutely love it so far, but until now, I have been unable to use one of its key features: it can take the handheld count anywhere.
Of course, this is not completely correct. I Technically speaking I could have taken the console on the road, but I personally cannot. In other words, in hell, my paranoid self does not transfer my new Nintendo to the world without carrying cases. (I think each switch should carry a case with you, but let’s buy everything separately is Nintendo’s brand.)
However, the days of the Nintendo Switch 2 are over, as Belkin’s new charging case is just something I need to travel with my precious gaming console. I never know what to expect when it comes to third-party accessories – they might get hit or missed – but it’s a home run.
The top story of chaos
First, the case itself looks great. The durable, hard shell looks stylish and not crowded by graphics and brands, I tend to prefer the maximum approach. It offers three different color options – I got a piece of shred, but I think the charcoal and pistachio green variant is cool too. However, the real star of the show is in the case.
Once you open it, you will find an integrated rechargeable library nested in the center, secured by a small Velcro strap. The switch console is perfect for it and does not scratch anything when placed. When you need extra juice, you can scratch the included USB-C cable from under your handheld and start charging while playing or sitting in the case. It’s very convenient and is able to charge my switches safely while out, which means I can spend more time actually using the console and less time waiting for it to refuel. The battery even has a small LCD display that tells you what it’s left with power, which has saved me from accidentally leaving the apartment with a dead power bank.
It’s nice to fit the battery into the small belt.

I spent $10 on the “Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour”
The box also has plenty of extra storage space, including mesh pockets that can accommodate ropes, accessories and more. I personally use the mine to store the battery cable, which is the charging block I need to plug into the power library, while my Joy-Con lid is used for the mouse mode of the switch. There is also an extra flap in front of the pocket, which can accommodate up to 12 Nintendo Switch gaming cards. While the only game I have right now is a digital copy, I’m glad to start filling in these card slots with new titles as soon as possible.
A perfect fit.

This is not to say that Belkin’s case is completely revolutionary – we have been in paid cases before, but yes Well made, convenient, and the best product found at the beginning of the Switch 2 era.
