The Best Switch 2 Accessory Deals Right Now: Save on Storage Upgrades, Cases, and Screen Protectors

Samsung P9 Express microSD Express Card, 256GB

0

The Switch 2 comes with more storage than the original Switch, but games aren’t getting any smaller. If you weren’t already aware, the Switch 2 doesn’t use the standard MicroSD card you could usually pop into your Switch. Instead, it’s only compatible with microSD Express cards that allow for faster read and write speeds.

Fortunately, it just so happens that Samsung’s 256GB microSD Express card, one of our top picks that doubles your Switch 2 storage, has a solid 50% discount that ends tonight.

Switch 2 Case Deals

I won’t lie to you, I made the mistake of just throwing my (original) Switch in a bag and praying things work out. Long story short, things did not work out. When I eventually upgraded to the Switch 2, I promised myself I wouldn’t make the same mistake again, and one of the first accessories I invested in was a solid case.

One of the best deals I’ve seen is on a carrying case we actually got the chance to review. The tomtoc Slim Case we said is “perfect for those who travel a lot” is at its lowest price ever, and the discount actually applies to every color variation.

You can also get 15% off another one of our favorite Switch 2 cases, Belkin’s Pro Charging Case, which is the first discount ever on the portable charging case. If you’re interested in something a little cuter, Amazon also knocked over 60% off a case covered in Sanrio characters.

Two-Pack of Screen Protectors for Under $10

Perhaps not the most fun accessory in the world, but definitely one of the most useful. Much like any screen protector you’d get for your phone, these special pieces of tempered glass help protect your Switch 2 from cracks, scratches, dirt, and dust.

Because this isn’t too exciting, I have one solid recommendation: amFilm’s Auto-Alignment OneTouch screen protector. This two-pack has gotten just over a 20% price cut, which is enough to bring it below $10 and down to its lowest price ever. As someone who bought this exact set and has absolutely no complaints, I’m not surprised it made it into our tech team’s list of the best screen protectors.

Third-Party Controller Deals That Are Actually Reliable

Unfortunately, we’re not seeing any discounts on official Switch 2 Joy-Con or the Pro Controller. We are, however, seeing some deals on reliable third-party controllers, including multiple Nintendo-themed versions of the PowerA Advantage controller that already stood out to us as a strong budget-friendly option.

Aside from the usual controller style, we’re also seeing the lowest price ever on PDP’s Riffmaster Wireless Guitar Controller that’s perfect for Fortnite Festival and Rock Band.

Game Storage Cases Dropping to Lowest-Ever Prices

While plenty of Switch 2 cases come with a special section for storing your games, they usually limit you to a smaller number of slots. That’s perfect for taking a couple of games on a trip, but not so much for building out your library in the long-term.

This is one of the few areas where it actually does not matter whether you get a case designed for the Switch 2 or the OG – both consoles use the same physical cartridge size. As such, you get a heck a lot of options, but I found a decent spread of both colorful and more classic cases that happen to be at their lowest prices ever.

What About the Switch 2 Itself?

Nintendo Switch 2: Choose Your Game Bundle

Games to choose from are Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong Bananza, and Pokémon Pokopia.

With a Switch 2 price increase confirmed for September, I wouldn’t say there’s a bad time to make the console upgrade between now and then. Amazon-owned Woot briefly offered an actual deal on the Switch 2 itself, but it shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise that it quickly sold out. For now, one of the best deals you can get is Nintendo’s “Choose Your Own Game” bundle, which includes Pokemon Pokopia, Mario Kart World, or Donkey Kong Bananza for the same price as the base console.
