I Got Belkin's New Nintendo Switch 2 Accessories But Not the Switch 2

You'd think an accessories company like Belkin would have already made some gaming accessories, but until now it hasn't. That's changing as it's released four new accessories for the new Switch 2 game console, which Nintendo just started shipping to consumers. I'm still waiting for my Switch 2 to arrive, but I did get review samples of all four Belkin Switch 2 accessories, which include two cases -- one with a bundled battery -- and two glass screen protectors. Read more: CNET's Switch 2 accessories round up The $30 Belkin Travel Case for Switch 2, available in three color options (charcoal, sand and green), is a compact, elegant case that seems durable (the fabric is water-resistant). On the inside you'll find a slot system to store 10 game cards and a hidden AirTag compartment. What's kind of cool is that you can detach the carrying handle, turning it into a wristlet strap. According to Belkin, the relatively compact case weighs 285.5 grams (.63 pounds) or 821.5 grams (1.81 pounds) with the Switch 2 stored in it. The Travel case comes in three color options. Screenshot by David Carnoy/CNET The $70 Belkin Charging Case has the same footprint as the Travel Case but is about a third thicker as it includes a 10K power bank that sits in a little well in the bottom of the case under your Switch 2. You can charge the console in the case or remove the battery and uses it to charge the Switch 2 outside the case -- or charge other devices. It's a pretty basic looking 10K portable battery that offers fast 20W charging and has two USB-C charge out ports (the Switch 2 has a 5,220mAh battery and Belkin says its power bank will charge the Switch 1.5x). In my tests with an iPhone 16 Pro Max, the power bank doesn't heat up too much while charging. The Charging Case also includes the same slot system to store 10 game cards and a hidden AirTag compartment. The Belkin Charging Case for Switch 2 includes a 10K power bank. Belkin The screen protectors are solid glass screen protectors, which is nice (these aren't those cheap, thin plastic ones you sometimes see). Belkin has a history of making screen protectors for iPhones -- it has a partnership with Apple to apply screen protectors in Apple Stores -- so they also seem good though a little pricey. Read more: Hands-on with Nintendo's Switch 2 on launch day I'm already seeing a slew of Switch 2 cases and accessories showing up on Amazon from no-name brands, with cases starting at a little less than $20. We'll be putting together a list of the best Switch accessories as soon as we test more items, but I like what I've seen so far with these Belkin accessories. I'll add any additional comments should I encounter any issues once I actually use them with my Switch 2 that is scheduled to arrive tomorrow.

ECB Cuts Cycle Coming to an End: Evening Briefing Europe

The European Central Bank cut rates by a quarter-point to 2% today – the eighth cut in a year – in line with forecasts from analysts surveyed by Bloomberg. On announcing the cut, ECB President Christine Lagarde said that the bank is coming to the end of its reductions cycle, with inflation currently below its 2% target for the first time in eight months and only the second since 2021. 'We are getting to the end of a monetary-policy cycle that was responding to compounded shocks — including Covid, the illegitimate war in Ukraine and the energy crisis,' Lagarde told reporters in Frankfurt. One unknown remains: US President Donald Trump's trade policy going forward, which still risks inflation shocks. Talks between the US and the European Union over tariffs are due to finish next week.

Trump Seeks to Boost Energy Exports in Talks With Merz on Trade

US President Donald Trump said he would discuss a potential trade deal with the European Union with visiting German Chancellor Friedrich Merz, adding that he hoped to use an agreement to boost US energy exports. 'We'll have a good trade deal. I mean, I guess that will be mostly determined by the European Union, but you're a very big part of that,' Trump said as he welcomed the leader of Europe's largest economy to the White House on Thursday.
