Promising review: "I've had this case for seven months so far and it's perfect. I've tried several different cases, and this one is so far my favorite. The case is a bit bulky but not terribly bulky. The inside zipper holds my charging cable, my headphones, and a cleaning cloth easily with space for more. I love being able to carry some games with me, even though I carry no more than two games with me at a time. I love the way the straps hold my Switch; I feel secure with my Switch in this case. If I open the case and flip it upside down, my Switch would not budge. I highly recommend this case!" —Cindy Peralta
