Best Nintendo Switch Lite Accessories

Seeing nothing good there..

Never needed protection accessories for any gaming device and I’ve dropped them all from game boys to psp to the Switch. The plastic housing and screens are all pretty good out of the box

I've ordered the Link's Awakening case and some Orzly screen protectors. I've got one of their's on my main Switch and it's great.

Still like the official Flip Cover case. Wish they had other colors for that.

@NinChocolate but they scratch easily.

Tbh, I don't know how this is supposed to feel more comfortable than the standard switch. All the media outlets seem to be saying that, but it sounds like hype talking.

@BarefootBowser It looks nice, it's just not for me. I need an attachment grip for my switch cause it does feel uncomfortable. This just looks like a lighter and smaller design which was my issue with the base switch was it didn't have enough support.

@Chunkboi79 I'm wondering about the comfort, too. I also use a cradle grip thingy for my Switch and after awhile that can still ping my wrists. The more my hands angle like this ~/" then the less comfortable the thing gets. When docked, I mostly play with separated joycons, but I'd really like a joycon grip that had each con at an angle so my arms would be more parallel with the tops of my hands. It makes sense when I think about it in my head

@HobbitGamer Agreed! I don't use the joycons outside of handheld. I usually use the pro controller. However, I think that if the joycons had just a bit more beef they could be wayy more comfortable. Honestly, I pre-ordered my daemon x machina joycons cause I want a more comfortable experience. I am sure they will improve upon the design of the base joycons eventually. Especially since it seems that people prefer to play with the joycons separately.

Still waiting on a great slim case for my yellow Switch Lite but I guess the black Hori case will work for now.

I preordered the transparent protector armor thingy from Hori, and their blue pouch.

I just hope the system fits in the pouch with the protector on.

I’m good to go!

I still don't really get why the Switch lite is as it is. Yeah it'll sell well but that doesn't mean it's not a missed opportunity and not a lazy design.

Without HD rumble and an optional TV mode cable this has no Nintendo individuality to it – it's literally the most 'standard' portable gaming device on the market - it has nothing about it that is unique to it – not even the games since they come from the existing Switch. They could at least have bothered to give it bluetooth audio as a 2+ year revision. This is such a shame – it really is a switch in name only.

The DS, the 3DS, the Switch, and all the Nintendo home consoles since the N64 had that Nintendo specialness of creative uniqueness to them. The Switch lite is just a portable games console with Nintendo IP games. It's most standout feature is a D-pad for goodness-sake.

That may be enough for many, but I'm a bit saddened that Nintendo played it so 'standard' with the lite. My Vita Slim is a far more interesting device in comparison - and as a companion device to the full Switch experience.

And I was one of those who was actually waiting for a lighter and slightly smaller Switch (and not buying into the nonsense 'Pro' rumours) – but I didn't expect the lite to be this compromised.

You guy's may say I'm being dramatic or something, but I'll say that's denial – people will convince themselves this the product they need, but the truth is this – this thing is Nintendo's laziest and un-necessarily compromised hardware product in recent memory.

I get it - and I don't

The Switch was designed for on the move and under the telly. Hence the name - switch (between the two).

Now we have a lite version which really should come with a way of docking it to the TV. The fact they have done away with that option leaves it as an oversized handheld. Goes against the design ethos and well. . . . who is it being aimed at. Current switch owners?

As I say - I like it - but have a lot of reservations.

What I think they should have done - is make the dock some form of compute unit which enhances the graphics when the lite is docked. Docked - higher resolution, AA, 60 FPS. Undocked lower resolution/draw distance, 30 FPS, lower resolution (works fine on tiny screen).

They could of touted that as Switch II - instead we get a unit that's no longer filling any specific market.

Buy a Switch Lite and then spend the $100 you saved buying accessories to make it more like a normal Switch. LOL

@RedderRugfish How do you know these are the best accessories when the lite isn't even out yet?

Well paid sponsorships obviously.

@brunojenso It's just a handheld console and since Nintendo can't nurture two sprouts at the same time they just have a single games lineup. Nintendo didn't mind neglecting Wii U years before Switch launched and leaving fans in the cold just to have the Wii U ports ready for the Switch launch and they didn't have much to offer on Switch anyway besides a single port, Breath of the Wild.

Nintendo has always been way more successful with handheld consoles so the Switch Lite makes perfect sense. You ask yourself what's the point of Switch Lite. You can love the original Switch like there's no tomorrow but the original Switch is the weird thing and the atypical hybrid console while the Lite, even if you don't like it, it's what Nintendo has been doing more successfully for many years. Besides, Switch Lite shares Switch games library but the original Switch has overpriced Wii U ports which is far more insulting than offering a pure not clunky handheld version of their halfway concept.

Basically, the Switch was an experiment that was relatively successful, very successful compared to Nintendo's home consoles, not as successful compared to Nintendo's handheld consoles, and Switch Lite is what they have always done successfully. Will Switch Lite sell so much that Switch and Switch Lite will surpass 3DS? I don't know but what I know is that without Lite, Switch wouldn't get much further.

Maybe Nintendo Life could post their office address as well so we can all send them our old clothes and non-perishable food items?

@Crono1973 I am only spending about $20 on accessories for my Switch Lite. Just a tempered glass screen protector and a basic slim case. I already got a spare 200GB card to use from when I originally bought my launch Switch (it's got a 400GB card on it now). As an on-the-go Switch this should be perfect, and I had to spend a ton more on accessories for my launch Switch, probably more than this entire console is going to cost me in the end.

Switch fans should be happy because with Switch Lite both consoles will get renewed software support but what I see is people disappointed with the release of an additional optional hardware that will attract software development? Did any of this happened with GBA SP, GBA Micro and DS Lite? Or was internet much quieter then?

Will Super Mario Party be available for Switch Lite? Because on many levels that wouldn't make sense at all.

Also spending more than 100 dollars on accessories for a Switch Lite seems counterintuitive

Wow the 512GB card is down to 91 dollars? That's real nice! That makes me think the 1TB card will be down to around 120 by this time next year! I've got the 400GB card now and I am not upgrading until the 1TB card is around 100-120 dollars.

I still think that the Switch Lite is a strictly inferior product, but I have to say that anyone planning on buying one should invest in a hard shell case. You don't want to break those joysticks or cause other issues by just tossing it in your bag.

The best accessory for Switch Lite: just get a real Nintendo Switch.

1. would get Temper Glass

@invictus4000 "The best accessory for Switch Lite: just get a real Nintendo Switch."

Got 320$$ to hand out so I can buy it.

@Heavyarms55 I am waiting for my holiday bonus to get the 1tb and restart loading my games again. I did upgrade my Switch to newer Switch X2 GPU but til I update the sd I won't load all the games yet.

Just saw some review on youtube about the Light. Some people didn't like the controls. It felt a bit too stiff due the smaller hardware. I knew something like this would be here. They are switching obviously like the GBA/NDS/3DS.... I won't be surprised if they won't release a Switch 2 as Hybrid but fully handheld with next gen graphics in it. And the buttons on the light are so also tiny. Nintendo really is into children that's why all these buttons controls are so cropped and small. This isn't really adult friendly. If you have big hands you will jump back to original Switch since it's bigger. For big hand people Light ain't for you

@Alucard83 I find the buttons even on the standard Switch too small! You'd think a system with modular controllers would have a set of larger button controllers out by now. The joycons would need to be wider to accommodate the larger buttons but it's a sacrifice I'd be willing to make for more comfortable buttons.

@BlueOcean What I think it comes down to, is that we are all waiting for a Switch Pro. Or some kind of upgraded switch. Instead Nintendo opted to release a lesser version of the switch. Which that's when the hardcore crowd is going to be vocal on it. The switch lite isn't marketed to die hard nintendo fans, but those are the people that are going to be talking the most. Am I going to get the switch lite, absolutely not. However, it's not marketed to me. A switch pro though would be.
