Merry Switchmas!

Ho, ho, ho, chums! Whether you picked up a Switch Lite back in September or you’re expecting one under the tree on JC’s birthday, here are a tinsel-encrusted collection of accessories worth finding in your stocking - and a couple to re-gift, too!

Snakebyte Carry:Case

Tough, durable and with plenty of space for game cards (we do wish Nintendo would just call them cartridges), the Snakebyte Switch Lite Carry Case is quality, case-a-fied.

The Lite has accompanied us on our semi-regular voyages across the south of England, and we have to be honest and say that the Snakebyte case trumps the official Nintendo one by a mile - at almost half the price, to boot! Featuring a rugged exterior, eight game card pouches, striking turquoise and yellow zip, mesh pocket for accessories and straps to keep the console in place, this is a case you can trust to protect your Lite.

Nintendo Officially Licensed Switch Lite Accessory Set

Now this case really looks the business; the off-white material and high quality zip feel and look great in our dirty mitts. Unfortunately, though, that’s where things take a nasty turn. There’s such a lack of space inside - especially when considering there’s no real allowance for the sticks or bumpers - that you’ll be left wondering how this got the official license from Nintendo. Add to that the shocking, thin plastic screen protector (yep, just the one, so don’t make any mistakes) we recommend you steer clear.

Orzly tempered glass screen protectors

While we weren’t particularly fond of the protector included in the official Nintendo bundle, luckily, the good fellows at Orzly (products designed in London, apparently) had us covered.

​Included in the box are four (FOUR) high-quality glass screen protectors. Applying one was relatively easy while utilising the helpfully attached tab, especially with the confidence that having three back-ups brings. Did we mention the package includes alcohol swabs, dust stickers and a microfiber cleaning cloth as well? Oh, and the whole lot is under ten quid.

FASTSNAIL hand grip

This ‘ere grip comes adorned in a black that took great pleasure in leaving its mark on the corners of our fair Lite. It feels cheap and flimsy in the hands, and to be frank, doesn’t really help with the offset nature of the Lite’s sticks, especially when playing FPS or twin-stick sports games. Another disappointment, unfortunately.
