I was in love, at first..

So don't get me wrong, this has to be one of the best balanced Switch cases out there as far as portability, durability, protection and value it offers goes. There are plenty of reviews telling you the good stuff which I mostly agree with. So I'm going to list my gripes about this case first. They definitely could have given people who protect their Switch some leeway where the Switch rests. I prefer to keep a shell on my Switch whenever I'm not using the dock and silicone covers on the joycons at all times, and with both of those on it was a crazy snug fit, if the strap wasn't there to help pop it out I think I would have problems getting my switch out of there. So I keep my joycons in the pouch and just the screen on the bottom to make things fit better, plus its quicker to slide the screen into the self folding standing like that for me. On the opposite side of things, the accessory pouch on top actually has too much room in my opinion. Although this ranges depending on what accessories you're actually wanting to bring with you. The power adapter sits perfectly fine and stays put, however while I only have two joycons to test and not four or more, there's no real way to strap them in there, so they can easily shimmy around and possibly fall out somewhat easily. You can bring a generous amount of game carts with you, but the direction placement seems like a design oversight because the game carts hang downward, especially if you were actually carrying the case around by the handle. After one short walking trip I found half the game carts I had in there were halfway about the fall out. If they were flip it the other way then the games would hang while you had it in stand mode, but that's much better having the games jostled around and coming a bit loose if you were carrying it by the handle. I only have this case in mind for actual console and game transfer rather than toting it around, so this also isn't a huge deal. Other than those two gripes, this case is awesome. The fold out stand is wonderful to have. It rests on a soft material and it supports the Switch well. I use it more than the crappy plastic HORI stand I bought a long time ago. I do wonder if its wise to rely on it for long play sessions though, because the cutouts for the vents in the back could be bigger, and I'm not sure if having a protective case on it like in my pictures might cause unnecessary overheating, but its still a great option to have and a standout feature. As far as actual protecting your switch goes? I'm confident an honest accidental drop on the ground will keep your Switch nice and safe, even if the case landed on concrete. Water proof? I honestly don't suggest you keep this by the swimming pool or bathtub and hoping it protects from an accidental submerge, but if someone unluckily spilled something on the case, I believe everything inside will be protected just fine. I may have sounded harsh on this product, but it is incredibly worth it if you want a case that carries the Switch, the power adapter, a few joycons and a lot of games all at once while having the outside material actually being tough enough to protect them all.
