Dbrand's Killswitch 2 case for the Nintendo Switch 2, widely regarded as the best protective case available, is currently on sale. The travel bundle, which includes a hard bungee strap-secured cover that holds up to 10 game cartridges and stick grips, is priced at $69.99 on Dbrand's website and $71.99 at Best Buy, down from the regular $80. This discount follows Dbrand's recent product launch misstep with the Steam Machine Companion Cube shell, but the Killswitch 2 stands out for its build quality and versatility.
Key Features of the Killswitch 2 Case
The Killswitch 2 snaps around the back and edges of the Nintendo Switch 2 console, featuring Joy-Con slip covers that add bulk and ergonomic comfort to the controllers. The case is designed to retain the console's hybrid functionality, allowing easy switching between handheld and docked modes. It includes a USB-C dock adapter for connecting the console to a TV, though the adapter is noted as slightly cumbersome for a tidy entertainment setup. According to the review, no other brand has yet achieved a more elegant solution.
Comparison with Other Gaming Deals
Alongside the Switch 2 case deal, several other offers are available. Walmart is selling Acer's 27-inch 1440p QD-OLED gaming monitor, the Predator X27U, for $314.99, originally $549.99. This monitor features a 240Hz refresh rate, two DisplayPort 1.4 ports, two HDMI 2.1 ports, an adjustable stand, and built-in speakers. It is covered by Acer's three-year warranty against burn-in. The Criterion Collection movies are half off at Barnes and Noble and Amazon until July 26th, with 4K Blu-rays at $24.99 and Blu-rays at $19.98, excluding some box sets. Best Buy is offering $50 Instacart gift cards for $45, limited to one per account.
Pricing and Availability
The Killswitch 2 travel bundle is available at Dbrand for $69.99 and at Best Buy for $71.99. The standard case without the travel bundle may be priced differently. The deal is part of a broader set of discounts on gaming and tech accessories.
