I've been after this case for a while. It's coming from Coolshop, so probably won't arrive or ship for Switch launch, but that doesn't matter much to me.
I wanted it in blue, and although Zavvi are now also offering it in this colour, their price is the ludicrous, well-above RRP £24.99.
I got 79p quidco on it too, and awesomely, it'll act as my £5 bonus purchase! :smiley:
(original price on this was £17.95. I guess it was in high demand!)

Heads up that coolshop expected release date is March 17th vs shopto's March 3rd.
So this'll depend on whether the £2 is worth getting the case right away to protect your launch day Switch.

Gone through all the cases recently for the Switch and these are the best. My order is with ShopTo but that's £2 more for these, so have some heat!

do they store credit card details on their own servers, or do they use PayPal? I don't trust these small sites to secure my credit card data, especially in a day and age when even Sony gets hacked multiple times per year.
Coolshop are fine, you've no reason to be concerned.

I had a few of quid of credit with coolshop so ordered this (the case I wanted) with them for about £15. I asked them about the date (at one point it was listed as March 3rd) and they said that its an in demand item and that they're not sure of exactly stock amounts for launch yet, so they have put March 17th in order that nobody is expecting it at launch and they cant fulfil the order. The inference was that it might still be possible to get it at launch, although this was about a week ago so I think at this point its unlikely.
In any case, Id rather wait fortnight and save the fiver, its not like I need it urgently.

Heat for good price! I went for this one though, as wanted something less bulky and prefer the design.

Yeah that one I almost went for but it doesn't have any extra storage space (which is what I need and limits my options :disappointed: )

I cursed myself. I ordered a case that I was mildly ok with, because it had space. But then today I had to cancel it because they delayed it by an extra month. So then I got to preorder this one (but grey and from shopto), which was what I had wanted after I already ordered the first one :smiley:

The console, a cloth and space for 14 games is all I need really

The only extra thing I needed was a space to put a game card case thing in (I don't trust the pockets after owning a PS Vita case that I almost lost the game cards thanks to)

Looks like these cases have been delayed everywhere along with a lot of other cases. Disappointing.

Am I being massively thick? Trying to preorder but it won't let me change my payment method from Visa Credit Card - even though coolshop payments page says you can pay by other types of card..... I don't have a Visa Credit Card!! :disappointed:

It was £18.95 last I checked too. Demand seems to be growing. Not sure whether to expire or edit, but it was £17.95 for about two weeks! :smile:
