Snakebyte, a creator of gaming hardware and accessories, have announced a new case for the Nintendo Switch. The case, called the Tough:Case, is designed to to surround the Switch tablet as well as the attached joy-cons. As you may have guessed from it's name, the Tough:Case's primary purpose is to protect the Switch from any unfortunate incidents it may encounter while you're out and about.

The case's design uses a rubber shell as the base, with the back being covered by a scratch-resistant polycarbonate cover. Despite the strength it provides, the case is light enough to not prove unwieldy for those trying to play on the go.

From the images, this case definitely looks like it provides good support to the Switch, and the components seem light enough to avoid being too invasive. Plus, I like the way the case wraps around the joy-cons, providing good support and helping hold the sometimes flimsy joy-cons in place. One potential concern to keep an eye out for is that the case will have to be removed to dock the Switch, so players who dock their Switch often will have to be prepared for this, or buy an adapter to allow them to dock their switch from an external hub.

The Tough:Case is expected to ship this August, and will be available in two colors: Strawberry Pink and Black. 

San Diego, CA – July 17th, 2018 – snakebyte® group, leading innovators of consumer electronics hardware, announced today the Tough:Case for Nintendo® Switch, an all-new lightweight case which protects the tablet and Joy-Con controllers from accidental drops and breakages.

Designed for a perfect fit around the tablet and connected controllers, the Tough:Case has been designed to cradle the console when in handheld mode, safely preventing damage to fragile hardware, and perfect for outdoor use.

The rugged and stylish design forms a highly protective rubber shell which includes a scratch-resistant polycarbonate back cover. Quickly wrapping around the console, the Tough:Case is strong enough to protect but light enough to never intrude on console controls during intense gaming sessions. The Tough:Case is expected to begin shipping this August, and will be available in a choice of two eye-catching colors, Strawberry Pink and Black.

Nick Repenning, CEO for snakebyte USA commented, “The Nintendo Switch is on course to become the best-selling console in 2018, and seeing more and more gamers use their Switch hardware in the wild is now a very common site. The Tough:Case offers Switch owners superb protection, guarding their console from damage and managing to look stylish in the process. We think it will prove a must-have accessory for all handheld lovers.”
