Belkin makes some of the best zip-up cases for the Nintendo Switch 2. Full stop. The company’s aptly titled Charging Case, which includes a 10,000mAh battery to keep your console charged while it’s protected, is particularly novel, although tough to justify at its usual asking price of $69.99. How about for around $45 instead? Now we’re talking.
Right now, you can grab the battery-equipped case from Belkin with free shipping for about $25 off when you use promo code VERGE35 at checkout, which drops the price to $45.49 for a limited time. If you want some deal context, Amazon recently knocked the price down to $59.49 as part of its ongoing Big Spring Sale, which was its lowest price to date before Belkin’s discount arrived.
Belkin’s case holds the console, 12 cartridges, plus whatever accessories you can stow in its mesh pocket (there’s also a discreet sleeve for sliding in an AirTag). It also includes a USB-C cable with a right-angle connector, allowing you to charge your console while the case is zipped up. The company claims that the battery strapped inside can top off a Switch 2 nearly twice, and it supports up to 20W charging speeds. And it’s easy to tell how much juice is left in the battery thanks to its LCD screen. If you were considering a case and a portable battery for your Switch 2, this is a solid — and now quite affordable — accessory that I recommend picking up.
