I was going to get this carrying case when it first went up, but I wasn't fond at all of the overall lack of protection it seems to provide.
It's a damn shame too since the appearance of it is absolutely fantastic.

Nice. Thanks for posting this. Their Vita case is phenomenal.
That one looks great. I went with the Link tunic starter kit. The one that's white and blue. But it's made by the same company.
Might get the one you listed, but without the extra accessories.

the official nintendo case has actually been up since last friday (I ordered it then), it just didn't have an image on it. I pre-ordered it as a just in case.
edit - i'm also a big fan of a number of different cases (not sure I'll keep the pre-order on this nintendo one or not), but I have the Zelda special edition on pre-order and that comes with a case so I might end up just rocking that.
anyone seen any pics of the official nintendo case open? curious what the inside is like.
The Neon still hasn't gone up.
The Neon still hasn't gone up.
Will that be tonight? Or unknown?
Odd, I had the item wish-listed and only managed to get an order in earlier today after watching out for it.
It's since been sold out.
Is this the same as yours? Link

yep! at the top it says "You purchased this item on January 13, 2017."
edit - FYI it looks like walmart has the official case in stock: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Nintendo-Switch-Carrying-Case-and-Screen-Protector/52901842
Seems to be pretty plain in its offerings, but that could be a plus for some since there's nothing in the way to cause potential damage or unnecessary bulkiness.
I guess I missed it on the 13th. Oh well, I managed to snag a preorder before it sold out again earlier today.
I was going to go with Walmart if I didn't manage to snag one, but now I don't have to provide the money upfront in case I find something better as the release date approaches.

I feel comfortable using walmart given that the there should be more switch units available than there were nes classics. But you never know, they could screw us over again.
So I'm paranoid that for whatever reason I could have less than the money needed in my debit account when amazon finally decides to process my Switch preorder (Money moves around in my accounts a lot). If I went to a CVS or something and just got an amazon gift card for the price of the order could I use that to pay?
Yes, you can apply Amazon Gift Cards to the order whenever you please. In the event that your order fails to get a payment authorization from a card, you usually have until the end of the business day to remedy the issue before the order's cancelled.
There's a risk that your order is outright cancelled should payment fail to be gained though due to the high demand of the item. I never had a payment authorization fail for a highly sought after item, so I can't say for sure.
Yes, you can. If you go to the order details you can add a gift card balance to the order.
Yes. This is also the "secret" trick if you ever need to change billing information on Amazon for a preorder. Just buy a gift card with whatever payment you need and apply to the order. Queue order won't change.

so, what is up with the neon?
You know, that's a really good question. I'm starting to think Amazon won't have any for preorder.
With over a month to go and Japan pre-orders don't start until 21st I think more will open up later.
So I decided to change shipping speed for my Switch at Amazon and now it's arriving later than with free Shipping?! Should I contact them about this?
The fued was because Nintendo refused to take back their old 3DS stock with the faulty screen bezel but it seems they got over it considering we can preorder the grey Switch.

What shipping speed did you select and what date is it showing?

well the neon on bestbuy says coming soon.
It was sold out before, but now "coming soon", so there is a chance it might come back at amazon as well

It was originally free which was 8 days and it showed 11 March but after switching to 2 day shipping it became 13.
Probably via USB like the Wii and U.
Yeah Nintendo couldn't bother to put an Ethernet port in their $90 dock so you gotta buy one separately.
The Pro controller isn't up on Amazon. US?
I haven't seen it for sale anywhere yet. But all of HORI's planned accessories got leaked a few days before the big Switch conference. We had a thread about it somewhere.
I'm assuming it plugs into 1 of the 3 available USB ports on the dock.
My question is, is it USB 2.0 like both the Wii and Wii U USB Ethernet adapters or is it USB 3.1?

Can you connect a Switch to a TV without the dock? If not, I don't see myself bringing this to my friends' homes.

It isn't.
Nope you need the dock.
I really hope it's 3, but let's be real. It's probably going to be 2.0 and a low-grade broadcom chipset that won't even get close to hitting 480mbit. :\
I assumed cdx was talking about the NIC being sold, not the ports on the switch dock.
usually if you see that hint of blue on the inside of the port, it tends to be a USB 3.0 port. But I'm no expert
Yeah, I know the port is USB 3.0 on the dock, but I was wondering if the ethernet USB adapter itself will take advantage of that USB 3.0 port or not. I was just wondering if ethernet adapter itself could be the same USB 2.0 adapter they've had for both the Wii and Wii U, and it won't matter if you plug it into a USB 3.0 port or not.
For all I know that USB 3.0 port could be for a planned but so far unannounced external harddrive feature.
yep, EXACTLY.
EDIT
ebgames AUSTRALIA has this image up for it

*sigh* it looks like it could be USB 2 AGAIN.
Have I missed it and they've announced what they do in game?
This talks about what some of the old amiibos will give you. http://www.polygon.com/2016/12/2/13...nniversary-amiibo-breath-of-the-wild-function
Haven't seen anything on what the new ones do.
