iVoler Nintendo Switch Case provides upgraded portable protection. Switch it up a bit.

Despite my love for the home Nintendo system, I truly fell in love with the ability to play Action/RPG/Sports/Puzzlers/Platformers and more after my parents gifted me with my first portable gaming system. I vividly remember that Easter Sunday morning when I found an original GameBoy hiding under fake grass within my Easter basket.

I am not sure that my parents realize the strength of the memory and the power of the gift. Over time, I moved through several portable systems, including various GameBoy/Color/DS/3DS/XL systems, GameGear, PSP/PSP Vita, and most recently to the Nintendo Switch. I have not yet adopted the OLED Switch, but will likely expand into the Switch Pro, Switch 2, or whatever name the company assumes in the future.

I typically carry the original version of the PowerA Everywhere Nintendo Switch Messenger Bag and love the ability to remove the handheld clamshell case for additional portability. Unfortunately, the setup lacked storage for game carts and did not work well for my needs. The newer version of the PowerA Everywhere bag had a modified neoprene case with game cart slots but did not have a hard-protected shell like the original clamshell case.

The iVoler Nintendo Switch Case arrived in a 6 1/2 inches wide by 4 1/4 inches tall by 2 1/4 inches thick hanging style package. The clean white cover panel provided the company/product name along the top of the panel, an attractive oblique image of the case, two extra pairs of joy-cons, power cables, and slots for ten other games. I liked the red/blue color against the pure white backdrop and felt that the cover presented the product well.

The rear panel of the Nintendo Switch Case capitalized on the red/white color scheme and listed four product-specific features:

  1. Secure storage for Switch/OLED Console and accessories (Joy-Cons, HDMI cable, ten carts, Joy-Con straps, earbuds, charging cable, slim power bank).
  2. Durable 1680 denier and EVA hard shell.
  3. Special design with wrist rope.
  4. Two hard corner indents for added protection.

I slid the 10 3/8 inches long by 5 1/4 inches tall by 2 1/8 inches tall black iVoler Nintendo Switch Case from the outer packaging and evaluated the outer nylon surface. The thick leather hinge segment measured 11/16 inches by 6 9/16 inches long and had clean stitching along both ends of the section. To access the inner aspects of the cover, I gripped one of the two chromed metallic zippers and pulled the zipper around the 21 1/4 inches long black zipper.

The upper 9 5/8 inches wide by 4 1/8 inches tall by 3/4 inches thick compartment of the Nintendo Switch Case had a 3/8 inches thick elastic band atop a mesh lining. The retention mesh measured 9 5/8 inches wide by 2 3/4 inches tall and did a great job at holding items within the compartment. The lower segment had a front that was 3/4 inches deep and a corner that was 1 1/16 inches deep.

The elastic was easy to manipulate and securely retained the games. I placed my Nintendo Switch into the lower segment and was pleased with the shoulder button cutouts and the soft inner felt. The compartment proved to be optimized for the Nintendo Switch and held the device securely. I added a short USB-C to USB-C cable, a screen protector, earbuds, and a thin GaN USB-C charger to the upper section, and found that I could include a small plastic game card holder with additional games.

I have never dropped my Switch inside or outside of a case, and I have no interest in tempting fate by purposefully dropping it and losing any data. From Torchlight to Diablo to Metroid to MarioKart, to Zelda to Smash, I have played countless hours and would hate to lose my Switch.

If I were to advise on the iVoler 2.0 Nintendo Switch Case, I would consider adding water-resistant zippers. Nevertheless, the iVoler device has been the right product for my Switch and has proved to be well designed, easy to use, and quite inexpensive. At sub $15, I doubt you will find a better deal.
