The Nintendo Switch was designed as a portable and stay-at-home games console, allowing you to play on the big screen, or while you travel.

The Orzly Carry Case is a hard-shell travel case for Nintendo Switch, made from EVA material to protect it against falls and other damage. Inside you'll find enough room to store your console, games, and Joy-Cons. If you have additional Joy-Cons, you can place the Nintendo Switch in the carry case with the Joy-Cons attached for extra storage.

Cushioned in the flap, there's space for up to eight games making it easy to access them on the go. Rather than fitting into a dedicated slot, the Switch is tied down using two elastic straps. This keeps it secure but can make getting it in and out quickly a little frustrating. Style-wise, the Orzly Carry Case doesn't offer much, but it is available in multiple colors if you want to make a statement.

Unfortunately, there's not enough room for other accessories like the AC power adapter or charging dock. However, if you want to travel with your Nintendo Switch for a short journey, the Orzly Carry Case is affordable and plentiful, and will keep your console safe.
