I’ve been using my Nintendo Switch 2 for a few weeks now, and if you’ve recently picked one up, these accessories are worth grabbing, especially during Amazon’s current sale.
Switch 2 screen protector
I don’t think spending that much on a screen protector is worth it for most people. They get scratched up easily either way, so it’s preferable to have more to replace them when they break easily.
What I think is key is finding one with some mounting hardware to ensure a perfect alignment. I’m a big fan of matte screens, but I’ve also listed a clear option that’s a good deal.
Switch 2 cases
When it comes to Switch 2 cases, the first one I bought was this thin Tomtoc zipper case. For $29, it’s hard to beat, and I had one with my last switch that lasted for years. While it is about $10 more expensive than similar cases online, this one is thinner, and I think that’s worth it in the long run.
That being said, I’ve needed to add grips to my Switch 2 to make it more comfortable to use while handheld. Right now, I’m using the dbrand Killswitch case, but at $80 on sale, it’s still pretty pricey. That said, the dock attachment that comes with it to ensure you don’t need to take it out of the case to dock it is very handy.
- Tomtoc travel case – $29.77
- dbrand killswitch case (with cover) – $80
- Spigen Switch 2 grip case – $29.59
An extra dock
One of the other things some people might want with their console is a second dock. The Nintendo version isn’t an awful deal considering it comes with a 60-watt charger, a dock and an HDMI 2.1 cable. But it’s still $155, which isn’t cheap.
If you’re like me and looking for something more cost-effective, you can also try this JEMDO Switch 2 HDMI cable dock. However, I only recommend this to anyone more on the “techy” side, since you do need to download some firmware from a sketchy website. That said, it worked for me and I’ve been using this for weeks.
MicroSD Express card
Unfortunately, the most expensive Switch 2 accessory is extra storage. The new console only supports the faster MicroSD Express cards, and none of those are cheap. The best deal I found on Amazon was a 256GB TeamGroup option for $94; however, most range between that and $170.
That being said, I think with the Switch 2’s 256GB of built-in storage, most people can get away without one of these.
