The Charging Case Pro launched in January earlier this year for $99.99 (Amazon), almost as if Belkin knew I'd be glued to my Switch 2 this year.
Not only am I as obsessed Pokemon Pokopia as I was at launch, but Star Fox is on its way on June 25, and Splatoon Raiders is launching on July 23. Yet, I'm not worried about the drain that any of these games will have on my handheld, as between sessions, I can easily slip it into the Belkin accessory where it will recharge and be primed and ready to go again. It's even included in this week's early Prime Day Nintendo Switch Prime Day deals, which makes it easier to recommend to anyone who hates the handheld's pathetic battery life as much as I do.
The second I saw the trailer for the upcoming Switch 2 Star Fox, I knew I'd become just as obsessed with clearing every possible path to Andross as I did in the 64 game growing up, and that's bound to take its toll on my battery life.
I'd worry, but the integrated power bank of the Charging Case Pro will take care of it. The charger lies in the interior of the case and includes a USB-C port that easily slots into the bottom of the handheld once I slide it inside. It's such a seamless experience that my Switch 2 is pretty much always in this case between gaming sessions, and I've not really had to worry about the device's measly battery life ever since.
Unlike the older Belkin Charging Case, which was a pain to recharge, this updated model also includes a cut-out window that allows for pass-through charging. Beforehand, you'd have to take out your Switch 2 and the power bank in order to ensure the case was juiced up and ready to go. Now? You just have to slot your AC adapter into the USB-C port, and wait until the small LCD screen reads "100%" so you know it's ready. This version may be more expensive, but it's a far more intuitive experience than before.
If that's too much then try the Belkin Charging Case...
The 10000mAh power bank can also be removed and act as a charging stand for your bedside table, should you want one. However, despite that extra feature and its current early Prime Day saving, I know not everyone is going to feel comfortable laying down even its current $84.99 discounted price for a case alone - especially as that's more expensive than either Star Fox or Splatoon Raiders and most upcoming Switch 2 games.
In that case, it's a good thing that the older Belkin Charging Case is also part of this week's early Prime Day gaming deals today. Instead of its $69.99 MSRP, it's down to $54.99 at Amazon, and it includes the same extras from the handy accessories pocket to the physical game storage. The main difference is that the power bank is attached via a velcro strap, and isn't a makeshift charging stand. However, that means you can remove it and use the powerbank to charge your phone, should you ever need to - something the fancier version isn't equipped for.
Much like the way ROB 64 drops a handy dandy bomb in your path in Star Fox 64, Belkin launched its Charging Case Pro at the perfect moment.
Not to mention, Amazon dropped these savings at a prime (get it?) opportunity for those of you who have yet to experience these, the best Nintendo Switch 2 cases I've tested to date.
