Nyko | Dockable, Thin Hard Portable Travel Carry Shell Protective Case with Tempered Glass Screen Protector for Nintendo Switch (Red & Blue)

To be completly honest, It actually works! OwOGiving this product 5 Stars because It does what it does!First, I understand that many buyers had trouble placing and locking the case down. I was very gentle with the case and I found out that the click was a LOUD CLICK when I pushed the locks in from the side AND on top. (Pinching and then poking top)The case fits really neatly in the Nintendo Switch Dock, no problems there. It charges and displays in TV mode just fine! uwuThe covers for the Joy Cons are really well made, it looks and feels like a tight glassy cover, unlike the soft silicone covers with the bump that I do not like (Multiplayer feels weird on them)Came with a GLASS screen protector (I already had one on but 1 more didnt hurt omo)Overall, a really nice case that does what it is advertised to do.Plus, I only paid 9.99 at the time! (12.99 now)There are a few slight technicalities though.The entire case is a bit of a fingerprint magnetThe JoyCon covers both have a little tiny defect, maybe bad 3D printing? (but I guess that's okay omo)Doesn't fit the JoyCon Grip but Mine was modded so it could uwu

I bought this thin case to protect my switch when using it in handheld mode. To start, I like the case. I was looking through all the thin cases when I came across this one. At first, I was a bit hesitant due to the reviews saying it was hard to install and such. After looking into it more, I decided to give it a try. One important thing to note, this case is thin and so it needs extra care when handling. Since this case can fit in the dock with ease, the plastic is obviously a bit flimsy. Protection wise, you're not going to get much of it. The best this case can do is protect it from scuffs and small scratches, which is why I bought this. I also loved the fact that it can fit my dock. Another great feature that caught my eye was the screen protector. It is tempered glass and super easy to install. As of installing the case, the process was pretty easy. I recommend attaching the back piece first, then you can lay the top piece. I would recommend pushing each clasp down and push until you hear the click. The cutouts are perfect and I have access to everything: stand, game card, ect.To note: If you install the joycon grips, be prepared to have them on for a while. Also, they do not fit the joy con controller that comes with the switch. The button to remove the joy cons are still accessible and pretty easy to push with the grips which is a major plus! If all you want is a case that will protect your switch from MINOR scuffs and bumps, I would recommend. This case definitely met and exceeded my needs.

UPDATE: TWO cases, same problem, but I think I found what's causing that problem. Would appreciate comments to my experience from anyone who has been able to get the Switch to dock with the case on.I was able to find another Nyko Thin Case at a local retailer. I put it on, and still, the Switch wouldn't dock. If I applied light pressure to the top of the Switch while it was docked, the Switch would dock just fine (exactly as I experienced with the first case I installed), but leaving my hand on top of the Switch or rubberbanding it to the dock isn't an acceptable work around, especially for an item that on the package says it is "Dock Compatible".Upon further investigation, I believe I identified the culprit: the case is simply not a tight enough fit around the Switch. It's so thin and flexible that it is flimsy and does not make tight contact all around the Switch. As such, there's a little give, just enough to cause a slight gap between the case and the Switch and thereby prevent the Switch from making proper contact with the connector at the bottom of the dock. I wish Amazon allowed us to upload videos as it is easy to demonstrate the issue that way. But in the absence of that, I will upload two photos of the bottom of the Switch where it plugs into the dock - one with the case as it is (untouched) and one with light pressure being applied around the case by hand. You'll notice in the photos that there is a gap between the case and the Switch that minimizes with the pressure. Unfortunately, the weight of the Switch alone does not apply enough pressure to the bottom of the case so as to overcome that gap and hence the docking problem.Clearly, some people are able to get this to dock. One reviewer noted that Nintendo had a problem with some of its docks bending inward and speculated that might be the cause. My dock is just fine. I have followed the YouTube installation video from Nyko that several other reviewers/commentators mentioned. Installation is just as Nyko demonstrates in the video and in the included instructions. Another reviewer remarked about the the case not being properly latched and suggested reinstalling the case. I have reinstalled both cases a dozen times, and the cases are snapped on correctly. When the cases aren't snapped correctly, even with light pressure, they won't connect at all in the dock. So, with 2 separate cases installed multiple times exactly as Nyko instructs and every latch clasped with an audible "click," the Switch won't dock with the case unless there's a constant, light pressure applied to the top of it.It took a while for these cases to be released. They were delayed months past the initial release date Nyko stated. Perhaps Nyko was feeling the pressure and rushed to fulfill inventory, even if that inventory was flawed and defective. Maybe some people were fortunate enough to get a better production run in which this gapping issue has been resolved. I don't know why some people have success while others don't, but I do know that the *two* cases I have now purchased have the exact same problem: they simply do not have a tight fit around the Switch.Nyko, what say you?-----Original Review-----After waiting through multiple changes in the ship date, I was excited to see this Nyko Thin Case finally show up at my door. Unfortunately, that's where the excitement stopped. The case was a little challenging to put on, but once on, it would NOT DOCK properly in the dock that came with the Switch. The only way I could get it to work was to apply some light pressure to the top of the Switch once it was docked, but that meant I'd have to keep pressure on the Switch to keep it docked. If I didn't do that, the Switch wouldn't make proper contact with the plug in the bottom of the dock and the signal to the TV would be lost. I read other reviews, and I noticed a reviewer commented about needing to reapply the case a few times before it would dock properly. I have taken off and reassembled the case 4 times, and it still doesn't work. The case is properly closed around the Switch. I snap every connector on the case into place, and I rub my fingers around the perimeter, making sure the case is uniform in where it has clasped together. All 4 times, it has been, and yet all 4 times, it won't dock! The best I can hope is that this case is defective. If the case were to dock, I honestly do not know that it would truly protect the Switch. Maybe it would, but when it won't dock - the manufacturer's advertised selling point on this item - what's the point? This was definitely *not worth the wait*!
