Just like any new launch, the debut of the Nintendo Switch 2 witnessed an influx of third-party brands eager to showcase their case and accessory lines, many of which were quickly thrown together and of dubious quality.

On the other hand, tomtoc has built a strong reputation for delivering laptop sleeves and iPad covers since 2016. This well-established brand has also been crafting products for the Nintendo Switch series for quite some time. Expanding on the success of their cases for the Switch OLED, tomtoc’s streamlined Switch 2 case improves upon the original’s attributes—providing top-notch protection, efficient space utilization, and an attractive design.

**tomtoc vs. the competitors**

Switch 2 purchasers can select from three categories of cases: those spacious enough to accommodate the complete setup (including the dock), mid-sized versions with mesh compartments for extra Joy-Cons and accessories, or slim cases designed exclusively for the console.

Having used it for several weeks, I can affirm that the tomtoc Nintendo Switch 2 carrying case focuses on the latter and more. It serves as a precision-fit lightweight shell, snugly enveloping the console, molded around the triggers, joysticks, and buttons.

Light and slim, tomtoc’s Switch 2 case is perfect for frequent travelers like myself, as it smoothly fits into my laptop pouch or backpack without consuming any additional space from my ASUS TUF A16 laptop that I use for work both on the move and at home.

If you’re planning a week-long getaway involving multiplayer Mario Kart sessions with four friends, a bulkier bag or case for extra controllers and your dock might be more appropriate.

However, for solo journeys or daily commutes with limited bag space, tomtoc’s case is just right. The only essential addition is a discreet cartridge pouch that can hold 12 physical Switch 1 or Switch 2 cartridges, enabling you to switch between titles like Donkey Kong Bananza and Tears of the Kingdom at your convenience.

It could technically be a touch slimmer, but the extra width and slots for the Joy-Con triggers and buttons are vital for its soft shock absorption during travel. Without that additional space, the console’s physical attributes could face more risk of damage.

**Superior quality and protection**

The interior incorporates a soft, felt-like plush fabric, elevating the experience of taking out the Switch 2 to a more luxurious level. Does this matter? Not really. Does it feel pleasant? Yes.

The hard exterior clamshell case is constructed from “Military-Standard-Drop-Test-Protection” materials that are lighter than EVA.

While the case feels nearly weightless and somewhat hollow, it has successfully safeguarded my Switch 2 during travel and several drops from 4-5 feet onto my apartment’s hardwood floor.

Finally, what differentiates tomtoc from other Switch cases is the premium quality evident in its presentation along with its slim profile. The team could have opted for a simple black or blue option, but tomtoc presents nine color choices to fit your preferences, with distinctive options to cater to almost anyone.

The grey case I chose fits perfectly with the ‘sleek yet not overly bold’ look I was aiming for, while the yellow tomtoc logo adds a touch of individuality.
