Just got a Nintendo Switch 2 for Pokémon Pokopia? Keep your new console safe with these cases and screen protectors

Pokémon Pokopia is all the rage right now, even to the point that physical copies are selling out around the world. The spin-off, which features Ditto in the starring role, really seems to be resonating with existing Switch 2 owners and newcomers alike — we even suggested that the game could be a 'system seller' in our Pokémon Pokopia review.

And if social media is anything to go by, it looks like a lot of people are picking up a Nintendo Switch 2 right now — primarily to play this title. But if you or a loved one just got Nintendo's latest hybrid console, there's something I strongly urge you to do.

That's right, I'd highly recommend picking up a case and screen protector for your Switch 2 — items that have given me immense peace of mind whenever I take my system out and about. Especially my case...I honestly don't know how I'd live without it now.

A Nintendo Switch 2 case will be useful for ferrying your console around, but it will also provide game cartridge storage, and potentially room for accessories, too. Meanwhile, a screen protector is crucial for defending against the scuffs and scratches that will occur in the coming years.

I've tested a whole bunch of Switch 2 cases and screen protectors, and I've listed some of my favorites down below. I'll begin with the best-priced options in the US, but if you want to find top options in the UK, hop ahead with this link.
