STARTRC GAMES Hard Carrying Case for Nintendo Switch 2 (2025) – Waterproof travel case for console, Pro Controller & accessories
Product description
What this case is for
If you’re the sort of person who takes a console out of the house (trains, holidays, visiting friends) you’ll know the basic problem: you can’t just chuck it in a bag and hope for the best. The STARTRC GAMES hard carrying case is designed specifically around the Nintendo Switch 2 setup, with a rigid shell outside and a softer interior lining to help keep everything organised and protected during everyday travel.
It’s positioned as a proper travel/storage case rather than a thin sleeve. That usually means more bulk than the bare minimum options, but also less worry when your bag takes a knock.
Key takeaways before you buy
On paper, the pitch here is straightforward: strong protection plus a waterproof claim, in a single “all in one” case meant to hold the console and key accessories together.
You should consider it if you want: - A hard shell with an EVA soft lining for a snug fit - A case that’s meant to carry not just the console, but also items like the Pro Controller, dock and charging accessories - Waterproofing for those “rain might happen” moments rather than pure swimming-pool use
You might want to look elsewhere if you prefer a slimmer, minimalist carry option. This is a larger case with capacity for multiple parts, so it’s not ideal if you only travel with the bare console and one controller.
The protection story (and its limits)
The exterior is described as high-grade PP, with a soft EVA interior. That combo is built for impact and handling: anti-drop, anti-scratch, and protection against heavy pressure are all mentioned as part of the design.
There’s also a waterproof claim: it’s said to protect the Switch 2 for about 30 minutes within 1M underwater. It’s worth keeping expectations realistic—water resistance is most meaningful when the case is fully closed and used as intended, and for “heavy rain” protection the practical benefit is more about the case buying you time and shielding from wet conditions.
So, while it sounds robust, it’s not a magic guarantee. If you’re planning anything more extreme than typical travel exposure, you’ll still want to treat the waterproof note as a helpful safeguard, not permission to be careless.
What you can fit inside
This is where the case earns its place for many people. It’s described as a large-capacity carry case with interior grooves meant to hold the Switch 2 and a bundle of accessories together.
Included items and storage mentions cover the Switch 2 console, Pro Controller 2, Switch 2 Dock, an extra set of Joy-Cons you can charge via charging grip (described as included for an extra set), AC Adapter, Joy-Con Strap x2, and Game Cartridge x12.
There’s also a practical touch: safety buckles and a portable handle are included, which matters more than it sounds when you’re moving through stations or trying to keep everything secure while you’re juggling bags.

Everyday use: how it feels day to day
Imagine packing before a weekend away. You slot the console into the shaped interior, add the dock and charging adapter in the sections meant for them, and keep the controller and extra bits in place using the grooves. Because the case is hard-sided, you don’t get that “everything is jiggling around” feeling you can get with softer covers.
The handle and safety buckles help when you’re carrying it alongside a rucksack. It’s not just storage—it’s a travel organiser that aims to reduce hassle at home and on the go.
One small limitation: since the case is built to fit a specific setup including accessories, it may not suit you as well if your accessories list is different or if you want a quick grab-and-go pouch.
Is it worth it?
A solid pick if you want a dedicated hard, all-in-one travel case made for the Nintendo Switch 2 family of items, and you’re specifically looking for hard-shell protection plus a waterproof claim for wet-weather travel.
It may not be the best match if you’re prioritising a compact, lightweight carry for just the console, or if you don’t plan to bring the bundled accessories. In that situation, the extra size and capacity could feel like overkill.
Worth considering if your priority is fewer “will it get scratched?” moments when the case sits inside a larger bag.
