Essential Switch Accessory
I've been playing my Switch in handheld mode for longer periods during the lockdown and began to notice a burning sensation in my lower arms/wrist area which is typical of strain (I have experienced RSI before as I use a PC for my work) so I began to research different grip cases for the console. I was really tempted by the positive reviews for the Satisfye case but this would require importing and I've had several parcels go missing from abroad (understandable given current events!), so I instead focused on this one. Could only find one YouTube review for the regular Switch version and the two reviews here but chose to take the plunge.And I am so glad that I did! I've been playing for around six hours with the grip attached and used it for a single stick game (Animal Crossing) as well as two twin stick games (Bioshock and Xenoblade) and my hands and forearms feel so much better for it. Holding it took some getting used to but I was sorted within an hour or so.The case is very light and adds next to no weight to the Switch itself. It's slightly asymmetrical to compensate for the Switch's right stick being lower than the left and it feels so natural to use, especially if you use a Pro Controller when playing in docked mode (instead of the Joy Con). It has a premium feel to it, especially the pitted plastic in the 'handles', and is pleasant to hold. It's extremely easy to remove the console, but also holds the console securely when you're playing (I can't stand things rattling around). The cartridge slots in the back do not have any kind of mechanism holding the carts in which makes me slightly nervous, but it's a snug fit with a foam padding that protects the pins - I've tried shaking the case quite violently and none of them have come out. The kick-stand that holds the console in position works really well and I love that it's easy to remove the Joy Con so you can play in desk top mode without having to fiddle around too much.Overall, I'm really impressed (especially at this price) and would say the grip case is a must-have for any Switch owners struggling with the console's ergonomics.

An affordable and ergonomic grip - game changer!
I've had this grip for just over a week now and I honestly can't imaging gaming without it. There's a reason why gaming controllers have evolved to have "arms" - it's so much more ergonomic and distributes a lot of the pressure during long gaming sessions. This grip takes that comfort and applies it to the Switch in portable mode which is just fantastic. It feels robust, holds the Switch well and overall provides a much nicer experience. The kickstand on the back means you don't have to use the pretty flimsy one built into the console and the addition of game cart slots is a nice touch. I personally use the stand as a nice way to display my console on a shelf when I'm not playing with it - as someone with a large game collection, this is a nice touch.You can't go wrong with this grip - it's perfect and I honestly can't think of a single improvement I'd make.

An Affordable and Essential Switch Accessory!
The media could not be loaded. I got this Nintendo Switch grip because I was suffering from cramps and aches in my hands after playing Animal Crossing for prolonged periods of time in handheld mode. If you're like me and rarely dock your Nintendo Switch, then this is an essential Switch accessory to have!Although chunky, it’s very comfortable, and fits well in your hands, regardless of how big or small your hands are. The stand is incredibly useful when taking a break and it's a great feature to have a section to store all your favourite games - you'll be able to carry 5 games with you.I also love that it matches the colour of my Nintendo Switch! (I have the grey version of the Switch.)With the Switch Grip, you also receive 4 thumb grips which was the perfect way to finish off my comfortable set-up!Great value for money.

A Great Grip however you play your Switch
If you’re looking for a grip for your Nintendo Switch then the one from OIVO is definitely worth your time and money.You get a well designed grip that is at a very affordable price.The design allows you to slide the Switch Console in and out of the grip with ease allowing you to switch from handheld to docked mode with ease and if you like to play in table top mode the clamp that keeps the switch in the grip also acts as a kickstand that allows you to have adjustable viewing angles unlike the kickstand included in the switch.You can also carry 5 of your game cartridges in the case. These sit very nicely in the grips back and are secure so there is no worry of loosing them while you are travelling about.Overall its a great grip if you are looking for a solution to make playing in hand held more comfortable when you play for prolong periods of time. A great buy for all Nintendo switch owners.

Great build quality, solid stand, comfortable grip and fantastic game cartridge storage on the back.
The Oivo Switch grip case is well made from good solid materials while there is plenty of protection on the case to stop the actual Switch console with rubber soft grips stopping the console from getting scratched. The stand is solid and has lots of adjustment to get the right angle, it also doubles as a way to secure the Switch in place when using it in handheld mode. The added game storage on the back is a fantastic idea and works perfectly with up to five games being held in securely and safely. While some may be ok just holding the Switch without any sort of grip, anyone with larger hands will be more than aware that after a while the small Switch unit can become uncomfortable and this is where the Oivo grip is fantastic and makes everything much more comfortable with it’s perfect sized grips. I can safely recommend this to anyone wanting to invest in a grip for the Switch and I am sure you won’t be at all disappointed with the build quality and it’s added features.
