If you were lucky enough to find and purchase a Nintendo Switch OLED, congratulations! While the rest of us pine for the shine of that fresh OLED screen, you might find yourself wondering how to keep your new Switch looking good for as long as possible. Since you’ll likely be going handheld to capitalize on that OLED screen, here are a few ideas for special grips that will keep the Switch in your hands for as long as you’re in the game.
Dat bundle tho:
Skull & Co. NeoGrip
Staff Pick
Skull & Co.’s NeoGrip looks like a slender piece of plastic — and on the surface, it’s rather simplistic. However, the bundle makes it a worthwhile purchase. The bundle comes with multiple grips that snap into place. Couple that with a carrying case that holds the Switch OLED in the grip along with 10 games, and you have a package that’s hard to turn down. Plus, you can choose between white and red/blue to match your console’s colors. How cool is that?
It fits in the dock!:
Benazcap Dockable Case
This Benazcap Dockable Case is a quick and easy solution to your Switch OLED grip needs. It fits neatly in the Switch OLED’s dock, allowing you to charge the device without having to disconnect the grip every single time. It also lets you use the kickstand should you decide to play tabletop instead. This is a solid option if you don’t need a lot of bells and whistles.
This one’s case-tomizable:
OIVO Switch Grip
Here’s a grip with some bells and whistles! The OVIO Switch Grip has two handles designed to replicate the Switch Pro Controller, so it will feel familiar in your hands. It also comes with five slots in the back to hold extra games, as well as a built-in kickstand and extra thumb grips for the Joy-Cons. This is the Switch OLED grip equivalent of a Swiss army knife, and it will serve you well.
The simplest solution:
GTAPlam Protective Case
Like the Benzacap earlier, this is as simple as it gets for Switch OLED grips. The GTAplam Protective Case protects the device from falling, offers extra grips that the Joy-Cons fit right into, and can stay attached both while charging and when the kickstand is in use. If you need a quick solution, you can’t go wrong here.
One for the kids:
Trepcrow Protective Case
This one offers an easy fix for any Switch OLED problems, but this one is built a little bit differently. For one thing, it’s got shock-absorbent materials around the sides, offering slightly more protection than other cases. It also can stay on during docking or kickstand use, but it achieves all of this with a smaller price point. If you’re a parent gifting the Switch OLED to your child, this is the grip to check out.
Manage your flow:
Satisfye ZenGrip Pro OLED
At first glance, the Satisfye ZenGrip Pro OLED doesn’t look all that different from the other grips, but there’s one key feature that makes this grip worth the extra price of admission. Satisfye’s patented “True Free Float” technology allows the grip to be attached while taking airflow into account, keeping your Switch OLED cool as a cucumber even when you’re having a hard time. Other grips might have an issue with heat, but the ZenGrip Pro OLED’s solution to that will leave you feeling, well, zen.
Get a grip!
Of these, we recommend the Skull & Co. NeoGrip the most, as not only is it a great fit for most hand sizes, but the extra grips and other accessories take the biggest and smallest hands into account. The Satisfye ZenGrip Pro’s unique airflow tech offers an extra layer of protection against overheating, so this is another to consider should heat be something you’re worried about.
If you’re looking for something a little simpler, you can’t go wrong with the Trepcrow Protective Case, as it gets the job done with the least impact on your wallet. However, if this is a gift for a younger player, we must reiterate that the OVIO Switch Grip’s ability to hold games inside it makes it perfect for the kid who can’t decide which game they want to take on the trip with them.
The most important thing with these grips is your comfort, so try all of these on your Switch OLED and see which one is the best fit in your hands. Once you’ve found the perfect match, it will quickly become as inseparable from your Switch as the charger, carrying case, and the memory cards we all had to buy to expand the memory.
