Dbrand’s Killswitch case for the Nintendo Switch 2 offers a precise fit and strong protection, standing out among recent accessories that often suffer from sizing issues due to the device’s new dimensions.
Unlike many early products designed without direct access to the Switch 2, Dbrand engineered a custom USB-C dock adapter included with the case. This solves the problem of docking the console while the Killswitch is installed, maintaining full visual fidelity in docked mode. Though the adapter is slightly bulky, it eliminates the need to remove the case when docking.
The base “Essentials” kit, priced at $59.95, features a textured, form-fitting shell that wraps around the Switch 2’s back and front edges. It secures with small adhesive strips and includes a protective adhesive strip for the kickstand. Two Joy-Con shells with thick, comfortable grips are also part of the package, designed for easy installation that fits securely thanks to the case’s flexible yet durable materials.
The $79.85 “Travel” kit adds a hard latch-on front cover and a tray that holds up to 10 game cartridges. This offers robust protection, especially with the cover attached, while maintaining an understated look when detached.
For $99.80, the “Ultra” kit includes the Travel kit features plus additional stick grips and two glass screen protectors, providing a complete package for users seeking extra durability.
The Killswitch case enhances handheld comfort without compromising the Switch 2’s design. While it adds some bulk, it transforms the device into a more ergonomic portable console, especially appealing to those accustomed to larger handhelds like the Steam Deck.
