WaterField Reveals Nintendo Switch Case for an Arcade-Style Gaming Experience

Popular San Francisco custom gaming case and laptop bag maker, WaterField Designs, announces the new Arcade Gaming Case, a compact zippered carry case to hold everything a Nintendo Switch gamer needs to set up an arcade-style gaming experience—a Switch console, JoyCon Grip or Pro Controller, AC power adapter, game card holder, USB charging cable, ear buds and a Hori PlayStand. WaterField adds the new Arcade Case to its highly personalized line of Nintendo Switch accessories. With this new full-grain leather and ballistic nylon or waxed canvas Switch case, solo players can create that Arcade feel at home or on the road in a carryall that fits as easily into a professional as a casual environment.

“We received fabulous feedback from our customers about what else they’d like to see in our Nintendo Switch caselineup. We’re all about directly meeting our customers needs, so we turned their feedback into action,” said owner Gary Waterfield. “With their Switch propped up on the Hori stand and their Joy Con Grip or Pro Controller, gamers can now pack their Arcade Case to play arcade style anywhere they take their Switch.”

Available in rugged black ballistic nylon or tan waxed canvas, the WaterField Arcade Gaming Case sports full-grain leather details to make for a sophisticated Nintendo Switch carry. A soft, scratch-free front pocket to stow the Nintendo console secures shut with a premium leather flap using hidden magnets. The large main compartment closes with waterproof YKK zippers. Inside, two plush pockets hold the AC adapter and the JoyCon Grip. (By pushing the pockets back, users can instead carry the Pro Controller and/or a European-sized power adapter.) The Hori PlayStand, a flat game-card holder or individual games, ear buds and a USBC cord fit comfortably into the remaining space. A rivet-secured, nylon handle with a soft leather grip lets gamer easily grab and go, and an adjustable, removable shoulder strap attaches to two metal D-rings for another comfortable carry option. Without the strap, the case fits neatly into a day or overnight bag.

The Arcade Gaming Case expands WaterField’s specialized Nintendo Switch case collection: The Switch Pouch covers the needs of the minimalist gamer, the CitySlicker holds a bit more for the single player, and the MultiPlayer Pro Case transports gamers’ unique Switch set-ups to social gatherings. Now gamers have a case to meet each of their varying needs in style.
