Gaming on the Go
Bottom Line

Protect your console while taking your gaming with you wherever you go.

Pros

This case doubles as a gaming center with its 19-inch built-in display that connects to your console for gaming anywhere. Compatible with recent PlayStation and Xbox systems, this case holds your console securely in place and includes storage for cables and controllers.

Cons

The screen is not of the best quality and can be fragile. There are many less expensive cases without built-in screens.

This EVA shell carrying case is the best choice for carrying your Switch and its accessories, including the dock. The inner compartments make it easy to store and remove your console and accessories. Holds two Joy-Cons and plenty of games.

Cons

The case holds the console and accessories somewhat loosely, so they may move around if the case is tilted.

We purchase every product we review with our own funds — we never accept anything from product manufacturers.

If you regularly take your game console with you, whether you’re traveling by foot, car, or plane, a console case is a good idea. Some cases are specifically designed for one console or line of consoles, while others can fit systems of similar size. If you want to game on the go and are willing to pay a bit more, look for a case with a built-in screen. You should also consider the number of accessories and games you intend to bring along, as not all cases include ample space for your gaming gear. And of course, cases built with sturdy materials like EVA shells offer more protection for your console.
