Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does this case truly fit inside the official dock while attached?
A: Yes. The Dpad Case is engineered with an ultra-thin profile that adds very minimal thickness to the console, allowing it to slide smoothly into the official Nintendo Switch™ dock without forcing it.

Q: Do I need to remove the case to slide the Joy-Cons off for tabletop play?
A: Not at all. The case features a split, modular design. The Joy-Con covers operate independently from the main console shell, allowing you to slide the controllers on and off with complete ease.

Q: Where do I store the D-pad piece when I want to use the standard buttons?
A: The case features a clever built-in storage slot right inside the left Joy-Con cover. Simply pop the D-pad out and snap it into its designated hidden storage compartment to switch back to standard buttons instantly.

Customer Reviews (5.0 / 5 · 3 reviews)

Lucy ★★★★★

The secure fit gives me real peace of mind for daily carry, and having a dedicated D-pad makes platformers feel so much more precise than the standard buttons.

Evelyn X. ★★★★★

Wasn't sure I'd notice the difference but platformers feel way more precise with an actual d-pad instead of the four buttons. The case itself wraps tight around the console and the grips give me something to hold during longer handheld sessions.

Sophia ★★★★★

The d-pad snaps on snug and finally makes fighting games playable in handheld mode. It wraps tight enough that I don't worry about scratches when it's tossed in my bag.
