FULL STORY ======================================================================Hori Adventure Pack for Nintendo Switch 2: review

Its no secret that the Nintendo Switch 2 is an expensive piece of kit, so if you recently got your hands on one, its crucial to keep it protected. So, in steps the Hori Adventure Pack for Nintendo Switch 2 a sturdy cross-body case thats licensed by Nintendo itself.

This model is a little different from others Ive tested, due to its versatile design. It can be held like a typical case, thanks to a built-in handle,
which adjusts automatically as you lift it up. But theres also a strap that enables you to wear the Adventure Pack like a cross-body bag. You can change the tightness of the fit to suit you, and it works pretty well. Personally, I dont think this looks all too stylish, but if you need free hands, the strap is a welcome option. When you dont want to use said strap, it can easily slot into a mesh fabric pouch on the reverse side of the case, ensuring that it looks tidy at all times.

A big positive of the Hori Adventure Pack is its generous storage space. Its
a little too small to hold your console, dock, and all the wires well, you could cram them all in, but its going to be a very tight squeeze. Still, theres plenty of room for your console inside, and the cases outer pocket is large enough to house some of the best Nintendo Switch 2 accessories . (Image credit: Future)

Theres a specific pouch to hold your Nintendo Switch 2 console with the Joy-Con 2 controllers attached. Its a touch narrow, so youll have to
carefully place your system inside, but there is a velcro strap to keep it secure. Youll also find six game cartridge slots inside the case not the highest amount Ive seen, but enough for a short trip away, for example.

Looks-wise, the Hori Adventure Pack is decent. It has a rubber-like handle
and upper half, which looks fairly stylish, but is susceptible to picking up dust and marks. The rest of the case is made up of a scratch-resistant fabric and a net to conceal the carry strap. It comes in all black and isnt anything flashy, but it will suit those who prefer an understated aesthetic.

Is this the most sturdy case Ive tested? Well, perhaps not it doesnt have
the tough exterior of the Nacon Protection Case XL for Nintendo Switch 2 , say. But its still a pretty resilient model. It has a padded, robust feel to it, and when I dropped the case from waist height, there werent any signs of damage. (Image credit: Future)

Lets finish things off by talking about value. This case is typically priced at $34.99 / 26.99 / AU$54.95, which is reasonable given the amount of storage space on offer and the versatility of its design. Ive also seen Hori's Adventure Pack go on sale in some territories, with its price dropping as low as 18.89 on My Nintendo Store in the UK.

Considering that the official Nintendo Switch 2 Carrying Case will set you back $39.99 / 20.99 / AU$39.95 a stylish choice, but one that has a lot less storage space I think youre getting good bang for your buck from the Adventure Pack. All things considered, then, this is a strong case from Hori, and its combination of a unique design with a modest price tag ensures that it's well worth considering.

4/5 Buy it if

You want a bag-style case
Perhaps the most enticing aspect of the Hori Adventure Pack is its ability to double up as a traditional case with a handle, while also serving as a cross-body bag. That versatility makes it incredibly practical when taking your Switch 2 on the go.

You want to store your accessories too
Unlike the official Nintendo Switch 2 case, theres plenty of room in the Hori Adventure Pack to store a few accessories, such as the Hori USB Camera for Nintendo Switch 2 . Dont buy it if

You need room for your Switch 2 dock
Although you can pack a few accessories into this case, its not really ideal for housing your dock. I tried inserting mine, and although it just about fit inside, the fit was realistically too tight. If you want a case that does it all, your best option is the official Nintendo Switch 2 All-In-One Carrying Case .

Youre looking for something flashy
This case isnt the most eye-catching or premium-looking, although its certainly very practical. If you want something sleek and colorful, then Id suggest checking out the Belkin Charging Case for Nintendo Switch 2 . Hori Adventure Pack for Nintendo Switch 2: also consider

I took my Switch 2 on the go inside the Hori Adventure Pack for multiple days in a row. During this time, I also packed in a couple of accessories and made sure to try out both the handle and strap carrying methods.

In order to get a measure of this cases durability, I dropped it from various distances and also gave the exterior a good scratch. After this, I checked
for any wear and tear to ensure the model was as sturdy as advertised. I also compared this case to rivals on aspects like storage space and looks.

an experienced tech reviewer with a ton of experience with Switch 2 accessories. Ive trialled a range of products, including cases, but also screen protectors like the DBrand Prism 2.0 , and cameras, like the Hori Piranha Plant Camera for Nintendo Switch 2 .
