\nHori Puff Pouch for Nintendo Switch 2: review
Looking to protect your precious new Nintendo system? Then the Hori Puff Pouch for Nintendo Switch 2 could be worth checking out. This soft case is licensed by Nintendo itself, and has a range of compartments to help you organize your gaming gear \u2013 so is it worth picking up?
Well, if you\u2019re not a massive fan of hard cases, it may tempt you. Yes, this is a pretty soft model, although it does still have a solid amount of padding to keep your console safe. You\u2019ll find said padding on either side of the console compartment, which will soak up any impact in the event that you drop the case.
However, there are two other compartments \u2013 one in the center of the case, and a net in the front. These aren\u2019t protected by much padding at all. So if you\u2019re housing accessories in there, they may not be as well protected as they\u2019d be in tougher models like the official Nintendo Switch 2 All-In-One Carrying Case, which is in our guide to the best Nintendo Switch 2 accessories.
Still, there\u2019s plenty of room to house the power cable and adapter and a couple of other gadgets, like the official Nintendo Switch 2 Camera and a Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller, for example. As a mid-sized case, this one\u2019s not really big enough for your dock \u2013 I was able to cram it in, but it was a bit of a tight fit. Other than the three main compartments, there are also six slots for Nintendo Switch 2 or original Switch games, which isn’t the most I\u2019ve ever seen, but plenty if you\u2019re going on a short trip.
When it comes to this case\u2019s design, I have fairly mixed feelings. One thing I do like is the handle, which adapts in length when you lift it up \u2013 as seen on the Hori Adventure Pack for Nintendo Switch 2. The handle also flows around the edge of the case, meaning you can pick the case up by its side if you’d prefer. On top of that, the zip is secure, and a hook and loop fastener inside the case keeps your console in place effectively.
However, I\u2019m not a huge fan of how this thing looks. It reminds me of a purse \u2013 and not a particularly stylish one. The square-patterned design, the soft feel, the puffed-out appearance\u2026 it just doesn\u2019t do it for me. Another thing worth noting is that the fabric exterior is very prone to picking up dust and fibers, which isn\u2019t an issue I face with the official Nintendo Switch 2 Carrying Case & Screen Protector.
In spite of that, this is still a pretty well-priced case overall. The Puff Pouch comes in with a list price of $29.99 \/ \u00a324.99 \/ AU$49.95, but I\u2019ve seen it going for less in some territories \u2013 it\u2019s going for as little as \u00a317.50 with some retailers in the UK. Is it the most durable or stylish case I\u2019ve tested? No. But the Hori Puff Pouch should still keep your console nice and safe, and provides a very decent amount of storage \u2013 soft case lovers should at least consider it at this price.Hori Puff Pouch for Nintendo Switch 2 review: price & specsShould I buy the Hori Puff Pouch for Nintendo Switch 2?Buy it if\u2026
You want a cost-efficient option
The Puff Pouch has a list price of $29.99 \/ \u00a324.99 \/ AU$49.95, but I\u2019ve already seen it going on sale for less. It offers a good deal of quality for the price you pay, so it\u2019s worth checking out if you\u2019re on a budget.
You\u2019re not a lover of the hard cases
If you\u2019re not a huge fan of hard cases, then the Puff Pouch is a nice option. It\u2019s soft, but well-padded, meaning that it\u2019ll still protect your console effectively.Don\u2019t buy it if\u2026
You need a case that will house your dock
Although you could potentially cram your dock into the Hori Puff Pouch, it would be a real tight fit, and not particularly secure. If you need a true all-in-one option, I\u2019d suggest checking out the Nacon Protection Case XL for Nintendo Switch 2, or Nintendo\u2019s official alternative \u2013 I\u2019ve listed the latter in the \u2018Also consider\u2019 section if you want more details.
You\u2019re looking for something super stylish
I\u2019m not a huge lover of the Puff Pouch\u2019s design. It looks a little like a purse to me, and not a particularly beautiful one. If you want something a little sleeker, my top recommendation would be the official Nintendo Switch 2 Carrying Case & Screen Protector.Hori Puff Pouch for Nintendo Switch 2: also consider
Nintendo Switch 2 All-In-One Carrying Case
This is the case I use for my Nintendo Switch 2 day in, day out, and it should definitely be on your radar if you need some protection for your console. Nintendo\u2019s official all-in-one case has individual compartments for your system, your dock, Joy-Con 2, a Pro Controller, cables\u2026 you name it. It\u2019s spacious, highly protective, and offers top build quality. It\u2019s expensive, and I wish the handle were wider, but for an all-in-one storage solution, it\u2019s about as good as it gets.

Hori Adventure Pack for Nintendo Switch 2
If you\u2019re after a similarly sized option to the Puff Pouch, then I\u2019d recommend checking out the Hori Adventure Pack for Nintendo Switch 2. You can carry this case traditionally with a handle, or switch things up a bit and use it as a cross-body bag. It\u2019s pretty sturdy, has enough room for a handful of accessories, and doesn\u2019t cost all too much either.

Took with me to the office and on walks
Trialed by a Nintendo Switch 2 owner and life-long gamer
I tested the Hori Puff Pouch for Nintendo Switch 2 over the course of a couple of days, using it as the primary mode of transport for my system. I also tried slotting a couple of accessories into the case, including the Hori Piranha Plant Camera for Nintendo Switch 2 and a couple of third-party controllers.
To test the case\u2019s durability, I made sure to drop it from a variety of distances and give the exterior a good scratching. Following this, I had a look for any wear and tear, to check if the model was as sturdy as advertised on Nintendo\u2019s online store. I also compared this case to rivals on aspects like storage space and looks.
More generally, I\u2019m a day-one Nintendo Switch 2 owner, a lifelong gamer, and an experienced tech reviewer. I\u2019ve reviewed a whole lot of Switch 2 accessories too \u2013 I\u2019m talking everything from cases through to screen protectors like the DBrand Prism 2.0 and cameras like the Hori USB Camera.
