If you have a stack of Switch games and need an easy way to organize, transport, or even display them, then a case specifically for those games is the way to go. Here’s our take on what to look for in a good came case, along with our picks for the best Switch cases you can get now.
What to Look for in a Nintendo Switch Game Case
You don’t need anything too special for a game case, but you still want to make sure it’s a well-built product.
- Storage Capacity: Whether you have a collection of 3 or 30 Switch games, you’ll want your game case to hold what you currently own and still give you some room for expansion.
- Size: Portability is what makes the Switch unique; chances are, your Switch already takes up a considerable amount of space in your bag. You don’t want or need your game case doing the same.
- Protection: Switch games are expensive, each cartridge you own likely represents at least $30 of your hard-earned money. You want them to be safe and secure.
Why Buy a Dedicated Game Case?
You might look online and see many Switch carrying cases that include game cartridge storage on top of console, controller, and cable storage and think there’s no purpose in owning a dedicated game case. But, dedicated game cases are useful to those with physical Switch game collections for a couple of reasons.
First off, carrying cases are going to be larger than a dedicated game case with less overall cartridge storage. And while that’s fine if you need to store controllers, cables, or the console itself—those with greater cartridge storage needs will find them lacking. The smaller size of dedicated cases makes taking a large collection on-the-go much easier.
On top of storage and size advantages, having a dedicated game case is also useful for playing at home in docked mode. Having a small container next to your Switch to swap out physical games is quicker than taking them in and out of their respective retail boxes.

There are even multiple options when it comes to the art on the outside of the case.
