Get a Grip On Your Nintendo Switch with the Skull & Co Crystal Grip Case & Maxcarry Case

In this episode, we unbox and test out the Skull & Co. Crystal Grip Case & Maxcarry Case for the Nintendo Switch.

While I have had my Nintendo Switch since launch, I will admit that I've never been a huge fan of playing in handheld mode. The system simply doesn't feel quite right in the hands, and I much prefer the handheld experience of the Switch Lite. However, the folks over at Skull & Co. sent us one of their new Crystal Grip Case & Maxcarry cases to check out and see if they can't improve our handheld experience.

The Crystal Grip Case is made out of a flexible TPU-style material. One unique part of the design is the fact that the case actually surrounds the triggers, providing a larger and more positive engagement of the triggers during game play. I wasn't sure how I was going to feel about this, but it works amazingly well and is a nice improvement over cases offered by others and definitely provides a better gaming experience.

On either side of the case is a changeable grip, and there are a variety of color options for you to choose from. They include 3 total grip options. Low-profile Snap Grips, the larger Plus Grips, and the pre-installed Trigger Grips. Changing out the grips is a snap, they just slide right on and off as need be. Through testing all of these grip styles, for me, I found the Trigger Grips amazingly comfortable. My hands just seemed to fall right into place with the Trigger Grips, and everything provides what has been, to this point, the best grip case experience I've had with the Switch to-date.

In addition to the GripCase, the Maxcarry case is really well put together and designed. The combo includes the GripCase and all 3 size grips in the box, and it's well packaged. Inside the Maxcarry case you have storage for 10 game cartridges, your system (and you don't need to remove the GripCase!), and additional accessories. I did try to store Skull & Co's JumpGate dock and it fits perfectly. However, I could not fit the JumpGate and Nintendo's OEM power supply at the same time. The simplest fix for me is to use the Core Drive when traveling, and then I can fit not only that but the power supply AND an HDMI cable under the system itself. One of the nicest features of the Maxcarry case is the fact that there are molded areas to support your Switch and use the case as a stand! That's really a unique option, and something I've not seen from anyone else.

Why it RoX:
- 3 different grip configurations
- Multiple color options available
- Available as just a GripCase OR Combo with the Maxcarry Case
- Amazingly comfortable
- Durable materials
- Storage for 10 cartridges
- Maxcarry case has a ton of storage
- Integrated stand

What could be improved:
- Not enough space for both the JumpGate & a power supply
- More color options for the Maxcarry Case would be nice

Should You Buy One?
Again, I am very impressed with a Skull & Co. product. My wife has been using another grip on her Switch Lite that she's been very satisfied with, but the moment I handed her my Switch with the GripCase on it she immediately said that it was much better for her. I agree - This is the best handheld grip-style case that I have used thus far, especially with the Trigger Grips installed. It's well designed, amazingly well balanced, and feels great. The Maxcarry Case is also terrific, as it has a ton of storage without being overly large or burdensome. If you are in the market for a grip and transport case for your Nintendo Switch, The Crystal GripCase & Maxcarry case should be high on your list of consideration!
