Our Take
The Hori Switch 2 Carry Case is Hori's latest hard-shell protective case designed specifically for the Nintendo Switch OLED model (though it works with the standard Switch too). If you're familiar with Hori's reputation in the controller space, they bring that same attention to detail here. This case is built for people who actually take their Switch places—commuting, holidays, trips to mates' houses—rather than leaving it on the coffee table. It sits in the mid-range of Switch cases: more protective and purposeful than a cheap neoprene sleeve, but without the bulk or price tag of some premium alternatives.
What makes this case genuinely useful is the rigid EVA hard shell that actually absorbs bumps instead of just looking tough on a shelf. The interior padding is soft enough to prevent scratches on the screen, and there's a proper divider compartment for joy-cons, games, or a small charger cable. The case measures around 260mm x 110mm x 55mm when closed, giving you enough depth to store your Switch OLED without cramming. The closure mechanism is a sturdy zipper that feels like it'll last years of opening and closing, not one of those flimsy affairs that fails after a few months. You get two small accessory pockets on the exterior—nothing massive, but enough for a USB-C cable or a couple of game cartridges.
Compared to competitors like the RDS Industries case or even some of the basic PowerA offerings, the Hori case punches above its weight for UK buyers. It's slimmer than most alternatives while still offering solid protection, and Hori's build quality is genuinely reliable. Before ordering, double-check your Switch model—the OLED version fits snugly, though the standard Switch fits comfortably too. The case ships as just the case itself (no cables or extras in the box), so factor that in if you're looking for an all-in-one bundle.

Our Verdict
Buy this if you travel with your Switch regularly and want protection without a briefcase—it's one of the few cases that balances durability, slimness, and actual usability. Skip it if you barely take your Switch anywhere or you're on a tight budget where a £10 sleeve would do the job fine.
