Good Switch stand solution?

I just use the 3DS kid icarus stand. Works a treat and is cheap as chips.
I'd get the hori stand if buying new.

This is the one I use. Made of metal, is incredibly sturdy and folds up very compact. Solid product imo.

I can vouch for this one as well. Great stand.
I noticed Nyko made a metal kick stand to replace the current switch kick stand.

This is what I have too, great stand folds up when not in use, you can charge your Switch as you play, multiple placements and I think I paid $17 CND for it.
I have the same thing. The thing is rock solid. (Its one of those products that is sold under a gajillion different companies/names though. Mine says Kedsum)
Great stand. I've been using it a lot lately. Great choice if you want to prop up your system with multiple settings.

This stand is great because of it has more viewing angles than most of the other ones, I use it with my phone often also.
Great idea! I'm going to try this when I get off the toilet.
Remember to wash your hands afterwards.

It is. Thanks!
I think this will do for now. I can worry about a portable charge-friendly one later.
It doesn't have a vent hole so this is a horrible stand to use. Same with the Wii U and Kid Icarus stands.
It doesn't completely block the intake and you can put it in the stand so it's not flush against the back allowing full intake, but you're right in that it's not specifically designed with the Switch's vent position in mind.
Wouldn't go as far as to say it's horrible.
yeah, the vents are recessed. partial covering of the vent holes should have no significant impact on thermals. Especially when the Switch is being used its non-docked lower clockspeeds.
i 3D printed this one
and it works pretty neatly, folds flat and can be stowed in pretty much any carrying case.
And puts the Switch at a way more comfortable angle than the kickstand.
Also allows for charging while playing.

If you have money to throw at the problem, nothing beats this:

You also specifically need the micro USB cable deluxe version, an Apple USB C- cable, and a nice charger like the Google Pixel fast charger.

I got the Hori one first, but didn't really like it because you can only adjust it to 3 different angles, all angled upwards, which is a pain because I mosly play at eye level.
I'm now using the other one because you can adjust it however you want.

Initially, i was wondering if this design was just a rip-off of some Hori stand and i was effectively performing "accessory piracy", but i suppose it's just a generic foldable tablet stand adapted to fit the switch.
It has those 2 little bumps that match the underside of the switch as to not have it slide around too much.

Man it was so fun when we had a 3D printer at my old job and I could print all the pretty things
I should trick the boss into thinking we need one.

That's the only reason I was hesitant to buy it at first but it's only partially blocked, when the Switch is docked in TV mode the vents are more blocked than that stand. I never had the Switch get as warm on that stand as I have when it's docked and I play with it plugged in on it.

Strikers 1945 <3
I want more Psikyo ports. I love their shmups. Sengoku Blade is my favorite shmup.

Did not realize you could play Strikers 1945 in portrait mode! That's amazing. Now I want to see Cave shmups on Switch for some really heavy TATE action
