Games console cases and protection: hardshell cases, travel cases, protective covers and other accessories that shield a console and its controllers from knocks, dust and scratches. They suit anyone who carries a console around or simply wants to keep it in good condition.
Our range has over 60 products, including items from Lizard Skins, Subsonic, uRage and Venom.
How to choose a console case
Model compatibility. A case is made to the dimensions of a particular model, so check which console it is designed for first. Most of the accessories in our range are made for Nintendo consoles. Many cases fit both the Nintendo Switch and the Switch OLED because their bodies are very similar in size, while the smaller Switch Lite needs its own case.
Type of case. A hardshell case resists pressure and knocks better inside a bag, while a soft cover takes up less room and is quicker to put on. Our range includes hardshell cases, covers and travel cases, so you can choose the level of protection you need.
Space for accessories. If you carry game cards, a charger or separate controllers, look for a case with pockets and card holders. A simple case that holds only the console is lighter, but everything else has to be packed separately.
Screen and controller protection. A closed hardshell case protects the screen in transit, but it does nothing while you play. For that you need a screen protector film or tempered glass. For controllers, adhesive protective skins and grips stop fingers from slipping.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a hardshell case and a soft cover?
A hardshell case has a rigid outer shell, so it protects a console better against pressure and drops. A soft cover is lighter and takes up less space, but it gives less protection against a hard knock. If you often carry your console in a backpack, a hardshell case is the safer option.
Does one case fit several Nintendo Switch versions?
Not always. The Nintendo Switch and Switch OLED have bodies of similar size, so many cases fit both, while the Switch Lite is smaller. Read the product description to see which models a case is made for before you buy.
Does a case protect the screen from scratches?
A closed hardshell case protects the screen in transit because nothing touches the glass. While you play, only a separate screen protector film or tempered glass protects it. That is why many people use both.
What fits in a console travel case?
A travel case usually holds the console and often game cards plus small accessories such as a charger or cable. The exact contents depend on the case, so check how many card slots and pockets it has. If you also carry separate controllers, choose a larger model.
