I quite like this one since it's cheap and well... Trips. I'm going to put my switch 2 in a bag and this is the perfect thing to protect it inside than anything else, tbh.

Especially since I plan to have like, a mobapad controller down the line for better handheld play :)

@Polvasti I had the same thought! I'd prefer just the grips for each Joy-Con.

no such thing as a "normal noise" in this category.

This is my 2nd favorite all around case behind only the revised Dbrand case. I would give the Jsaux at least a 7.5, close to an 8. I’d give the Dbrand an 8.5. I went back to the Dbrand, because I fing the grips more comfortable than the Jsaux grips, but not by much.

Only reason I would rate it below the Dbrand is the back plate is VERY flimsy, compared to the Dbrand.

Wait, people actually expect a millimeter of plastic to protect their console from a fall? Seriously? You should see these as grips, first, and something that protects the system from highlighting and minor scratches from transport and use, second. That's it.

Can anyone recommend a protective case like this as I'm planning on buying my son a switch 2 for Christmas and want to get a case that I feel will protect it as much as possible

Yeah this is an 8/10 for me as well, I really like the shape and grip and the modularity. Haven't had problems with docking, and didn't even know about the cartridge storage area tbh. I'd recommend people pick it up with the front cover, it's replaced my carrying case and is much smaller.

I bought this at launch, as I was looking for a full case where the joy con are still detachable, and it was between this and the much more expensive dBrand version.

Im glad I went for this as it has done everything I wanted from it and feels great to play on.

I'd definitely rate this more of a 7 or even an 8. The negatives on this review are more potential issues instead of actual issues, but I get why the reviewer is nervous.

Thanks for reviewing this! I just upgraded to Switch 2 and spent time looking for grip case reviews. I ultimately landed on Savage Raven’s StandGrip because I play mostly handheld but love seeing more accessory reviews. For travel/storage I ended up using the spigen rugged armor for ROG Ally because other cases seemed too snug with the grip on.

@Olliemar28 I guess we have two different experiences, because I use only the grips and the front panel and haven't had any trouble.

@DarthXenos Thanks for the link! The back panel is still useless to me, but at least that package is a bit cheaper than the one that includes the front panel too.

@DarthXenos I wonder about these review criteria for insane durability. I mean 99% of the time what is needed is gentle-to-moderate protection, but it's usually 'can this survive a fall into a volcano'. I dropped my switch 1 without anything on it countless times. fell down stairs and everything, and nothing even happened to it without any protection.

@DarthXenos Sure, you can, but if you pick it up with the front panel, gravity will soon prove that it's intended to be used together as a set. It's not secure enough on its own or with the Joy-Con grips.

@Polvasti you can buy the grips and the backplate separate from the front cover and save some money.

And contrary to what @Olliemar28 you can absolutely use the front panel without the backplate. I have this case and just use it for the grips and the front panel. I wouldn't expect it to protect your Switch 2 from hard falls, but it will protect from scratches if you're just tossing it into a bag. The grips are awesome and help my hands a ton. I get bad pains in my hands when trying to play handheld without some sort of grips. For the cheap price and simple use, I'd give JSAUX a 7 or 8 out of 10.

I wonder why Jsaux don't sell those Joycon grips as a separate product? I have no need for the protective case, but I'd love to get the grips 'cos they look nice and ergonomic. As it is, however, the only way to get the grips is to buy the whole package and pay for some extra pieces I'm never gonna use.

Thanks for the review, hope those going for this or similar products like Genki's will enjoy them (personally, a traditional case is perfect for my uses - in particular I got the official one, but that's mostly because it was the only one available here in Italy at the time)!
