I Got Belkin’s New Nintendo Switch 2 Accessories but Not the Switch 2

You’d think an accessories company like Belkin would have already made some gaming accessories, but until now it hasn’t. That’s changing as it’s released four new accessories for the new Switch 2 game console, which Nintendo just started shipping to consumers. I’m still waiting for my Switch 2 to arrive, but I did get review samples of all four Belkin Switch 2 accessories, including two cases — one with a bundled battery — and two glass screen protectors.

The $30 Belkin Travel Case for Switch 2, available in three color options (charcoal, sand and green), is a compact, elegant case that seems durable (the fabric is water resistant). On the inside, you’ll find a slot system to store 10 game cards and a hidden AirTag compartment. What’s kind of cool is that you can detach the carrying handle, turning it into a wristlet strap. According to Belkin, the relatively compact case weighs 285.5 grams (0.63-pound) by itself, or 821.5  grams (1.81 pounds) with the Switch 2 stored in it. 

The $70 Belkin Charging Case has the same footprint as the Travel Case but is about a third thicker as it includes a 10K power bank that sits in a little well in the bottom of the case under your Switch 2. You can charge the console in the case or remove the battery and use it to charge the Switch 2 outside the case — or to charge other devices.

It’s a pretty basic-looking 10K portable battery that offers fast 20W charging and has two USB-C charge-out ports. (The Switch 2 has a 5,220-mAh battery; Belkin says its power bank will charge the Switch 1.5 times.) In my tests with an iPhone 16 Pro Max, the power bank doesn’t heat up too much while charging. The Charging Case also includes the same slot system to store 10 game cards along with a hidden AirTag compartment.

The screen protectors are solid glass screen protectors, which is nice (these aren’t those cheap, thin plastic ones you sometimes see). Belkin has a history of making screen protectors for iPhones — it has a partnership with Apple to apply screen protectors in Apple Stores — so they also seem good, though a little pricey.

I’m already seeing a slew of Switch 2 cases and accessories showing up on Amazon from no-name brands, with cases starting at a little less than $20. We’ll be putting together a list of the best Switch accessories as soon as we test more items, but I like what I’ve seen so far with these Belkin accessories. I’ll add any additional comments should I encounter any issues once I actually use them with my Switch 2, which is scheduled to arrive tomorrow.
