Mechanism’s first Switch 2 case is as awesome as I hoped it would be
Mechanism has released the 'Basecase,' a modular, snap-on protective shell for the Switch 2 console. The case allows for customization via 3D-printed plates and includes modular grips for improved ergonomics.
Why it matters
This highlights the growing market for third-party modular accessories that enhance the utility and comfort of handheld gaming consoles.
Most companies have slowed down releasing new Switch 2 cases, but one of my favorite accessory makers recently debuted its first, after a few delays. The $49 Basecase from Mechanism is a snap-on shell for the console that taps into the company’s modular lineup of mounts. You could already mount the Switch 2 in numerous ways with its $19 Basegrip (to your wall, to its Gaming Pillow, to a monitor arm, etc.). The difference is that this new product protects your console, makes its Joy-Con more comfortable to use, and has some interesting modularity.
