Nintendo has confirmed that it’ll start selling its official, previously Japan-only Switch Lite Flip Cover in the US next month, with a release date set for January 9th.
The Flip Cover is a lightweight case that the Switch clips into, with a fabric finish and a lid that attaches magnetically.
The Switch Lite is meant to be a more portable version of the Switch, but it isn’t that much smaller than the regular model.
But the overall size of the Switch-plus-case combination gets reduced so dramatically with the Flip Cover that it makes a huge difference to the system’s portability.
The point of the Switch Lite is portability, so you’re probably going to want a case, and this is the best one I can imagine.
