The one thing I didn't like. 😛
Did you leave yours open to get rid of the smell?

Only time will tell IMO. This is the reason I went with the RDS case since it has actual space molded into the case for the shoulder buttons to rest.
I left mines in front of a window over night. Smell was gone the next morning.

About all I needed to know, thanks! I'll get on backorder and check target for the rds. Thanks, mate!

The two videos i can find of it on YouTube make it look really good. No buttons being held down, room for the triggers, extra joycons, wires or phone and just plain on the outside.

The smell in my RDS case is gone as well, for the most part.

I've seen people complain that the game cases in the RDS case fall out of their areas too easily.
I've noticed that too, but I just turned mine upside down and the wrong way, hoping the little extended lip on the top would hold it in place a bit if it weren't positioned near the groove for it.
It seems to help, at least for now.

Yep posted some pics here with a bunch of stuff:

Kinda messy but yeah you can cram a lot in there. On a road trip now and crammed in a thin battery behind the Switch and some cables for my phone in front too.
For future reference, never buy PDP. Their build quality is often pretty questionable, especially in comparison to their competitors like Hori.

Is there a case than can comfortably hold the Switch with joy cons attached and the power adapter? That's all I'm looking for.
Yea, Shiekah case is exclusive to ME/SE. Take care of it.
I went with this in Brown
It looks like it will is a little more versatile that the keyboard bag, can hold everything you need, and has some cushioning inside. Couple of reasons I went with the bigger one is that I can put my charger, phone, joycons the entire switch & pro con in there, and throw it in a backpack or bag and travel with it. On to of that the middle pocket fully opens and folds out flat for easy access.

Anyone with the RDS case have scuffs on the back of their Switch where the plastic cartridge cases rest?

I hope to find something to fit just two joycons (with straps attached) in, whether for carrying the switch separately or for having 4 total joycons with me.
I'm concerned about the sticks being mashed around in something that doesn't hold them somewhat securely.

Still loving my RDS case and still recommend it to those who are indecisive. The smell is definitely a bit strong when it first arrived. After a few days now I'm finding it has finally diluted some and isn't so intense.
Can't wait for more switch games to release so I can fill up those cute little card cases inside haha!

I have this case too. I didn't like how it pressed the shoulder buttons, so I've just been placing the Switch on top of the straps, which keeps the shoulder buttons from being pressed. You'll need to be careful when you open the case this way (basically just don't open it upside down over a hard surface) but it keeps your shoulder buttons from being pressed.
Edit: Can anyone recommend the RDS Deluxe Case? I'd like to keep my Butter Fox case for when I just need to tote my Switch around but have a bigger case for when I want to lug around the dock and the controller thing.
I got it from the Nintendo store and don't think I can return it.

Thought I posted this in this thread, but realized I did it on the main switch thread:
Yooooo! All versions of the RDS case are IN STOCK on the Nintendo Store. These are on 1-2 month backorder on Amazon. https://store.nintendo.com/ng3/browse/subcategory.jsp?categoryId=cat831379&pageSize=6&viewAll=true

How long does Nintendo usually take to ship direct?
I had the Butterfox ordered, but just cancelled it and went with the RDS. Mostly because I'm worried about how tight the console fits in the Butterfox case.
Butterfox does make great cases though. I have their 3DS case and I've got no complaints with it.
I bought my son a 3DS charging dock and I shipped it with regular shipping and had it in less then a week (took a bit longer since their system didn't like that I live in South Dakota and was shipping it to California. The customer service rep was fantastic). I've never had an issue with anything I've ever bought from them.
Thanks for this. I ordered one of the Zelda RDS cases last night from the Canadian store. It'll do until I can afford to splurge on a Waterfield case sometime down the road.

My wife made me a cool Zelda Theme softcase. Sorry for the horrible pic.
Nice work!
Awesome. Been waiting to pick one of these up. Thanks!

I went with the same oneexactly what I was looking for. It'll match perfectly with my Ugmonk bag, too! Thanks for the heads up!
Can vouch for the Official one. Plenty of room, nice built in "stand" and it's hard than I expected (not hard plastic but thick enough that you would have to be very careless to damage your Switch in it)
Also just fitted an Orzly tempered glass screen protector. So easy to fit. Feels more snug in the dock, but still enough clearance.

Sorry, Nintendo only listed that stuff within the past day or so. I check the site every day.
Have to disagree, the official one is rubbish with barely enough room for the switch and you can feel the joycon sticks through it, I was very disappointed

I've seen two reports of it. Could just be a defective protector. I use the amfilm on both my iPhone and switch and zero issues. It's probably been on my iPhone for about a year.

Seemed like an issue specific to the first batch of a certain premium Hori protector.
Hm. I'm looking at a PDP one for 10 bucks.

I got the official one and it's ok. Good enough to put in a backpack but not good enough to be totally worry free. The Hori one was more in line with the protection I wanted but I couldn't find it until it was too late.
Epic shit...
That's pretty awesome if you travel a lot.
Got lucky and my Walmart had one RDS case left. Only 18.00 to boot!

...hate me...
I wonder what the hell is up with the Switch and Joy-cons+grip they are using in the illustration.Epic shit...
These are $29.99 at Target. I'm kicking myself for not picking up the one I saw around launch.Epic shit...
Leaving the rds case open for a couple of days did the trick. 
Also got the Zelda rds case for light travel.
It's a fantastic case. They make one for the nes classic, and it's just as great.

I have a feeling this would be a suitable substitute for$18
Hermit Shell put all your shit in here case.
I am going to wait for reviews but probably pick this up in a month or so for more heavy travel bc it can store everything.
