Protecting a console that travels
The Switch is the console most likely to be in a bag, which is where its screen picks up scratches from whatever else is in there. A hard carry case and a screen protector between them prevent most of what we see come in for repair.
Hard carry cases with slots for game cards
Tempered glass screen protectors cut for the handheld screen
Grips and thumb stick covers for longer sessions
USB-C charging cables and mains adaptors
Charging and the dock
The console charges over USB-C, so a standard power delivery plug and cable will run it in handheld mode. Docked play is fussier about wattage, and an underpowered adaptor is a common cause of a console that will not wake in the dock. Cables and plugs are listed under charging accessories, and console repairs are handled through the repairs service.
Buying in New Zealand
Holding stock locally is the point. A repair booked in the morning can have its part on the bench the next day rather than the following week, and orders before 2pm dispatch that working day.
Questions answered
Will a standard USB-C charger run the console?
In handheld mode, yes, with a power delivery adaptor. Docked play needs the higher wattage the dock expects.
Do screen protectors fit the OLED model?
The screen sizes differ between models, so protectors are cut per model. The listing states which console each one fits.
Are cases sized for the console with a grip fitted?
Most are cut for the bare console. Where a case takes a console with a grip attached, the listing says so.
