Nintendo created a new Switch Lite case that can be easily snapped on and off the mobile console. Previously, the Switch Lite case was only available in Japanese markets but it will now be available to US consumers starting on December 8th. The case will have a $40 price point, and it will be available in online stores, and then in retail locations starting in 2020. However, it will only be available in gray.
The case features a flip cover to protect the screen. This makes it an ideal case for people who often travel with their Nintendo Switch Lite. Creating a case is a logical move by Nintendo, as the Switch Lite is marketed as a mobile gaming system.
