Switch 2 cases, screen protectors already for sale via Chinese sellers
Nintendo now seems unlikely to unveil Switch 2 this year, but you can already buy carry cases and screen protectors for the company’s unannounced console.
Listings for Switch 2 accessories have now begun to appear on China’s wholesale platform Alibaba (as spotted by Famiboards), with products available to buy in bulk that claim to have been made based on the actual Switch 2 console.
Hardware companies regularly provide accessory manufacturers with moulds for unreleased devices to aid the production of add-ons. Additionally, purported 3D-printed plans for the Switch 2 have been floating around online for several months, based on a leaked form factor that Digital Foundry dubbed as “almost certainly real”.
One image of the Switch 2 accessories shows what looks to be a comparison shot of the new screen protector next to another for Switch 1. The difference in size backs up prior reporting that Switch 2’s screen will be larger. There’s also now no space for a light sensor.
As for the Switch case, its dimensions are 290mm in length, 135mm in height and 50mm in depth. It’s tough to draw firm conclusions on the dimensions of Switch 2 from that, but all signs point to a longer and chunkier device overall.
