I love a cute Nintendo-themed gadget. In fact, I'm very fortunate to have my own dedicated room (it's also my home office, so I promise I'm not showing off) full of the best Nintendo Switch 2 accessories and Nintendo-themed goodies I've collected over the years. So you can bet that I'm pretty enamoured by the elago Switch Game Case.
This tiny, ickle Game Boy is available for $14.99 at Amazon and lets you store your Switch and Switch 2 games inside. Switch game cases aren't new, but this one includes the neat detail of showcasing the art from each cart where the green-colored LCD screen would typically be, plus it's a keyring. That means you could take your Switch 2 game library on the go, but this instills a major fear within me - the fear of losing all my beloved (and very pricey) new Switch 2 games.
A physical copy of Mario Kart World still costs around $79.99 (Amazon), if there are no sales around. Now, imagine if you had it, and a physical copy of Donkey Kong Bananza (which was $69.99 at launch) and your $69.99 Pokemon Pokopia game-key card sitting in this key ring, and it somehow went missing while you were out on the town.
That's the first thought that ran through my head when The Verge first brought this little gadget to my attention. That'd be $218.98 instantly down the drain, and would result in a lot of sad and lonely red Switch 2 game boxes sitting empty on your shelf. It's a fear I always have with accessories like this, and why I typically opt for Switch game cases like the Hori Eevee Cottage Core Game Case, as they're designed to sit safely in the bottom of your bag or your Switch 2 case if it's big enough.
I think elago suspected this would be a worry shared by many, as the marketing images show the Game Boy keyring being attached to a Switch 2 case instead, which feels like a much better fit. I actually keep a Care Bear Digital Pet on one of my Switch 2 cases, but this would be far more fitting.
Not only can it store Switch and Switch 2 games and display their cartridge art, but Elago also boasts that the keyring can store 3 microSD cards. It also includes a little green-filtered window that displays the 'elago' logo where the Nintendo one would normally be, which is such a cute feature that it's started to quell my fears a little bit. Not entirely, but I appreciate the detail as a 90s kid who grew up with the original DMG Game Boy.
If you want some storage for your Switch and Switch 2 games, and are privy to the classic handheld, it's available at Amazon with a 10% off coupon, which doesn't expire until May 1, 2026. Just remember, it can only store up to three physical games at once, so you will have to leave the majority of your collection at home. At least they'll be a bit safer that way.
