Nintendo Switch 2 accessory bundle with 'well-made, sturdy' case now under £20
'Excellent value for the price – I definitely recommend it to all Switch 2 owners!'
The Nintendo Switch 2 has officially hit the shelves, with gamers itching to get their hands on the new and improved console. And the lucky gamers who have managed to bag the new Switch should be careful to take good care of it.
Investing in a sturdy and durable carry case, screen protectors and covers for the console can make it simpler to take on the go while keeping it safe from damage. And one highly-rated accessories bundle containing everything a Switch 2 owner could possibly need is currently on offer on Amazon, at a decent discount of 33 per cent.
The Nintendo Switch 2 Accessories Bundle is usually priced at £29.99, but Amazon's current offer takes the price tag down to a more budget-friendly £19.99. Included in the bundle is a clear cover for the device, as well as a screen protector, four thumb grips and a carry case, ensuring Nintendo fans will have everything they need to keep their new Switch 2 shiny and new.
The case is made of hard EVA material to prevent damage from falling, with a soft velvet interior to protect the console from scratches during carrying. Velcro straps can fix the console tightly inside the case to prevent it from shaking.
A mesh bag on the upper part of the inner carry case can be used for carrying cables, game and other accessories, with a zipper to ensure that nothing will fall out.
The hard plastic case can also provide full protection for the console, whether it's inside the carry case or not. Its screen protector will prevent scratches and damage, and the thumb grips can help gamers play comfortably, without their finger slipping off the buttons.
For those browsing the market for Switch 2 accessories, Argos offers a similar carry case - without the other accessories- for £14.99.
They also offer a screen protector kit for £7.99.
But the discounted bundle has already raked in some great reviews, considering that the console only launched today.

Trump's inks order on US drones after Ukraine's shock attack on Russia while encouraging flying cars
President Donald Trump inked a new executive order on drone use in the U.S. following Ukraine 's stunning attack on Russian air bases – and last year's drone sightings in New Jersey. The new order is intended to boost U.S. national security – but it also encompasses Jetson's-style transport of the future, such as flying cars that could function as air taxes or deliver packages for companies like Jeff Bezos-owned Amazon. The orders are designed to remove regulatory barriers to their development. 'Flying cars are not just for `The Jetsons.´' 'They´re also for the American people,' said Michael Kratsios, assistant to the president and director of the White House office of Science and Technology Policy. More than 20 years after the Concord stopped flying, Americans also could sometime hitch a ride on a cross-country supersonic flight. Trump issued the order because he wants to counter the threats drones pose to national security under new rules released Friday. He did so on a day he was feuding with Elon Musk, finally breaking his silence Friday evening. The orders are also aimed at making it easier for Americans to fly faster than the speed of sound and expedite the development of the flying cars of the future. The three executive orders will encourage the Federal Aviation Administration to expedite rules to allow companies to use drones beyond their operators' line of sight, while also imposing restrictions meant to help protect against terrorism, espionage and public safety threats. Drones are already used in a variety of ways, including bolstering search and rescue operations, applying fertilizer, inspecting power lines and railroad bridges, and even delivering packages. But the war in Ukraine has highlighted how drones could be used in a military or terrorist attack - a concern as the World Cup and Olympics approach in the U.S. There also have been espionage cases where drones have been used to surveil sensitive sites. And White House officials said drones are being used to smuggle drugs over the border, and there are concerns about the potential for a disastrous collision between a drone and an airliner around an airport. 'These orders also address the growing threat of criminal, terrorist and foreign misuse of drones in U.S. airspace. We have a responsibility to protect and restore airspace sovereignty,' said Kratsois. With major events like the World Cup scheduled in the U.S. next year, Sebastian Gorka, senior director for counterterrorism on the National Security Council, said it´s crucial to protect the airspace above large public events. A federal task force will be created to review drone threats and existing terrorism task forces will look at drones. 'Drones are a disruptive technology. They have an amazing potential for both good and ill,' Gorka said. 'We will increase the enforcement of current laws to deter two types of individuals: evildoers and idiots - the clueless and the careless.' The orders direct the FAA to expedite a new rule restricting drone flights over sensitive sites and work with the Departments of Justice and Homeland Security to better enforce laws on illegal drone use. The FAA has been testing systems to detect and counter drones that the White House would like to expand to deal with threats to public safety and national security. Among the methods being examined: Using radio signals to jam drones or force them to land. Authorities are weighing whether to deploy high-powered microwaves or laser beams to disable the devices. The order will allow state and local authorities to be trained to respond to unauthorized drones and expand the government´s ability to counter them. Law enforcement agencies also may receive additional training on how to use drones themselves to ensure safety around major events. One of Trump's orders directs the FAA to eliminate the 1973 speed restriction that prohibits flights over Mach 1 and replace it with a noise standard. New technology in supersonic aircraft can allow the planes to fly faster than the speed of sound without a disruptive sonic boom being heard on the ground, but the regulations still ban those flights over land. A plane developed by Boom Supersonic became the first independently funded jet to break the sound barrier this year. 'The reality is that Americans should be able to fly from New York to LA in under four hours,' Kratsios said. 'Advances in aerospace engineering, material science and noise reduction now make overland supersonic flight not just possible, but safe, sustainable and commercially viable.' Blake Scholl, founder and CEO of Boom Supersonic, said a renaissance in supersonic passenger travel is made inevitable with the repeal of the ban. 'We´re grateful to President Trump for his leadership - this important step allows us to accelerate development of our Overture supersonic airliner,' Scholl said. Several companies are also developing flying cars for use as taxis and delivering cargo. They are likely still at least a couple years away from being ready, but orders are designed to remove regulatory barriers to their development. 'Flying cars are not just for `The Jetsons.´' 'They´re also for the American people,' Kratsios said. The executive orders don't ban Chinese-made drones, including those by DJI that are popular in the U.S., but the Trump administration said it will prioritize American-made drones in federal procurement programs and open up grants to help state and local first responders buy U.S. drones. The White House said it would seek to reduce the U.S. reliance on foreign-made drones and restrict foreign devices in sensitive areas. 'This executive order marks a long-overdue investment in drone deterrence,' said Craig Singleton, a senior China fellow at the Washington-based think tank Foundation for Defense of Democracies. 'Drone warfare isn´t a future threat - it´s already here.' The administration also is mandating national security reviews of some Chinese drone makers. That 'underscores that drone supply chains ... are now national security flashpoints,' Singleton said. The orders also tighten rules on wireless transmission tech, which Singleton said would disrupt the ability by Chinese drones to transmit data back to Beijing. States and the federal government are increasingly wary about Chinese technology, and at least six states have passed laws to restrict government purchases of Chinese drones because of concerns about spying. That´s part of a slew of more than 240 anti-China measures state legislatures have considered this year. Congress has also banned federal agencies from acquiring Chinese drones, with some exceptions. But most commercial drones sold in the United States are made in China, and many Americans have come to rely on them. The Chinese models are widely known for their high performance and are generally significantly cheaper than American-made drones. The FAA has generally prohibited drones from operating outside operators' line of sight because of safety concerns, but the agency has granted hundreds of waivers to Amazon and some other companies, including utilities and railroads, to use drones farther away. Drone manufacturers and users have long wanted rules that spell out the framework for such flights because they see that as a natural next step to unlock the technology's potential. The head of the trade advocacy group Association for Uncrewed Vehicle Systems International, or AUVSI, testified to Congress this week that the FAA missed a deadline for approving such rules last year. On Friday, Michael Robbins, chief executive officer of AUVSI, applauded the Trump administration for advancing policies that he said would ensure U.S. leadership in drone innovation, security, operation and manufacturing. He called it 'a historic day for the drone industry in the United States.' ___ Funk reported from Omaha, Nebraska. Associated Press writer Leah Askarinam contributed from Washington.

Shark's 'impressive' cordless vacuum automatically empties itself now £200 off
Shark's 'impressive' cordless vacuum automatically empties itself now £200 off Shark's PowerDetect cordless vacuum cleaner automatically empties and charges itself after every clean, with users saying it's 'so much better than Dyson'. 'This gets up so much dirt and the auto-empty is so satisfying to watch' Shark has cut £200 off a vacuum cleaner that can automatically empty itself in a mega price drop. The Shark PowerDetect Clean and Empty Cordless Pet Vacuum Cleaner has been reduced from £549.99 to £349.99. This 37% discount is also available at Amazon, where the same model costs £349. Shark touts its PowerDetect as a 'powerful, intelligent, deep-cleaning' vacuum cleaner, equipped with two brush rolls and multiple sensors that automatically enhance its cleaning power for optimal performance. It can also detect edges, corners and different floor types, and will increase suction when necessary. But the standout feature of this model is the Auto-Empty Base, which automatically empties and charges the vacuum while it's docked, so it's always ready to go. READ MORE: Virgin Media is handing customers free iPads right now - but be quick READ MORE: 'Brilliant' Clarkson's Farm book narrated by Jeremy Clarkson is free in Father's Day deal The base is said to hold enough dirt and debris to last 45 days, so the vacuum needs emptying less frequently than an a standard model, while Anti-Odour Technology protects against bad odours. Unlike many competing vacuums, this model collects dirt when pulled backwards as well as forwards, while the Anti Hair Wrap Plus feature removes hair from the brush-roll as it cleans. This makes it perfect for homes with pets, along with the included motorised pet tool that can be used to remove hair from upholstery. The Shark boasts a powerful battery capable of running for 70 minutes, with the charge level displayed on an LED screen that also includes the 'Dirt Detection' feature, reports the Express. Shark PowerDetect Clean and Empty Cordless Vacuum Cleaner £549.99 £349.99 Shark Get the deal here Product Description Shark shoppers can save £200 on the PowerDetect Clean and Empty Cordless Pet Vacuum Cleaner Shark's deal matches the price of Dyson's V11 Advanced, which the brand says is the most powerful V11 and currently comes with a free 'Floor Dok' worth £100. But for those looking for a more affordable vacuum cleaner, Amazon will knock £50 off the Smoture Cordless Vacuum Cleaner with a coupon on the product page, taking the price from £169.99 to £119.99. But the Shark PowerDetect Clean and Empty Cordless Pet Vacuum Cleaner has been earning praise from customers, securing a 4.4-star rating 247 customers – 205 of which left four or five-star reviews. One satisfied shopper said: "Great vacuum for all your needs. "We've had three Shark's, this one is fantastic. No worries about emptying, just pop it on its stand and it's all done. Great pick up to, just vacuum away. No need to change setting when going from carpets to solid floor and vice versa. Plenty of tools for other cleaning too." The Shark vacuum has a 'Flexology' wand to clean underneath furniture Another said: "I have dogs and this is so much better than Dyson, which I had to spend hours pulling bits of dog out of it to make it work. This gets up so much more dirt and dust and the auto-empty is so satisfying to watch." Article continues below This buyer was less-impressed, saying: "Works fine, picks up everything but it gets blocked very quickly and you need to put it onto stand to empty more than we would like." But this five-star review said: "Better than my Dyson. The vacuum seems well made and has much better suction than my Dyson, it vacuums to the edges and definitely does a better deeper clean. Having three dogs we need a vacuum that can cope with all the hair. The anti hair wrap function works really well. Battery life is really impressive and allows me to clean our four bedroom house in one go."

Nintendo Switch 2 – live updates on where to buy as stock sells out
A day after launch, the Nintendo Switch 2 has little stock in the UK. Consoles began quietly landing at shops yesterday morning, and now it's a race against the clock to secure one. Argos, Amazon, and Currys have completely run dry, as has ShopTo. Not only is there no same-day stock, it looks like there's almost no stock at all. The good news is that Nintendo has finally dropped some stock, and Very has a Mario Kart World bundle. EE and O2 have stock, but you have to have an existing contract with them. However, we've seen a lot of surprise stock drops over this console launch. While there's precious little stock at the moment, it's worth checking back every half hour or so in case there's any movement. Where to buy the Nintendo Switch right now Nintendo Switch 2 specs The Switch 2 might look familiar, but there's a lot going on underneath. It's powered by a new custom Nvidia chip, so games don't just load faster, they look better and run more smoothly. You get 12GB of RAM (up from 4GB on the original Switch), and most of that goes straight into powering games, not just background stuff. The screen is still LCD, not OLED, but it's bigger at 7.9in and has 1080p resolution. It supports HDR and a 120Hz refresh rate. Colours pop more and motion looks buttery-smooth in handheld mode. There's also DLSS upscaling built in, so older games look better. Sadly, while it supports variable refresh rates, it doesn't work when docked – just in handheld mode. Nintendo Switch 2 price The Nintendo Switch 2 on its own costs £399.99, and the main bundle with Mario Kart World costs £429.99. Buying the bundle saves you £40 compared to picking up the game separately, so it's the better value if you're planning to grab it anyway. No big discounts yet – it's launch day, after all – but some retailers have larger, more expensive bundles. These include the new Switch 2 camera (£49, the Pro controller (£74.99, and the official carry case and screen protector (£20.99, as well as extra games and accessories. Nintendo Switch 2 launch games There's a stacked line-up of Switch 2 games for day one. Mario Kart World is obviously the big one, but you've also got upgraded versions of Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, plus mammoth games like Cyberpunk 2077 Ultimate Edition and Hogwarts Legacy – two games that really test the console's muscle. Other launch day games include Hades 2, Split Fiction, Sonic X Shadow Generations, Street Fighter 6, Survival Kids and Suikoden I & II HD Remaster. You've also got Yakuza 0: Director's Cut, Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess, and Deltarune Chapters 1–4, plus more niche picks like Fantasy Life i and Bravely Default: Flying Fairy HD. Civilization VII and No Man's Sky are here too, and Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour acts as a mini showcase for the new hardware. On top of that, loads of older Nintendo titles have been patched with free performance updates, and Wind Waker, F-Zero GX and Soul Calibur II are now available through the new Switch Online GameCube library. Here's our Nintendo Switch 2 review So, I've officially had 48 hours with the Nintendo Switch 2, and it's a definite step-up over the Nintendo Switch OLED. My colleague Jake Brigstock and I have been putting it through its paces. Here's our initial review – yes, you're getting two takes for the price of one. Nintendo Switch 2 review: What we like (and dislike) about the console After almost a decade's wait, the Nintendo Switch 2 is here Alex Lee6 June 2025 17:01 Here's where you can buy a Switch 2 right now You can still buy the Nintendo Switch 2 from a few places in the UK, but each option comes with a caveat. The My Nintendo Store has the console in stock now, though you'll need an active Switch Online membership to place an order. Delivery is fairly quick though, with consoles arriving in two to three days. Very also has a bundle available to buy, but delivery is on the slower side. Orders aren't expected to arrive until Friday, 13 June. EE has stock as well, but it's only available to pay-monthly customers and delivery takes between 1-3 working days. O2 is also selling the Switch 2 to existing customers, but shipping is particularly slow – some orders could take more than four weeks to arrive. Alex Lee6 June 2025 15:28 Nintendo just dropped stock I predicted it earlier and it's come to pass. Nintendo's just dropped some stock. You have to have a My Nintendo account to buy a console, but the stock is there. There's a standalone Nintendo Switch console and a Mario Kart World bundle. Alex Lee6 June 2025 12:59 Smyths Toys taking orders Smyths Toys sold out around midday yesterday, but they're taking orders once again. It won't be a fast delivery; the retailer says it expects stock between 10-16 June, and delivering your Switch 2 could take up to three working days after that. However, if you missed out on the console yesterday, this is a good bet. Buy now at Smyths Toys Alex Lee6 June 2025 11:57 Nintendo Switch 2 stock at O2 Huge thank you to reader Mark Brooker, who got in touch about some Nintendo Switch 2 stock at O2. It's unlike any of the stock we've seen so far. It's a Mario Kart World bundle and only for O2 customers. You have two options. You can either pay in full for £449.99 or spread the cost. If you spread the cost, it costs £110 up front, but you can pay as little as £9.44 a month at 0% APR. The catch? Delivery could take more than 4 weeks. Buy now at O2 Alex Lee6 June 2025 11:40 Stock just dropped at Very It's been quiet since 6am this morning, but Very just dropped stock. You can get a Nintendo Switch 2, Mario Kart World, and a Switch 2 Camera for £479. It will arrive on Friday 13 June. Buy now at Very Alex Lee6 June 2025 11:04 More detail on EE stock Right now, EE is the only place in the country you can buy a Switch 2. You have a few options: The first is the basic Mario Kart World bundle. You get a Nintendo Switch 2 console and, unsurprisingly, Mario Kart World. You also get a 12 month Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack membership, so you can play online. This also gives you access to 170 old-school games from the NES, SNES, GameCube, Nintendo 64, Game Boy Advance and Sega Genesis. It costs £22 a month for £24 months, and you have to pay £20 upfront today. Buy now at EE The other option is more expensive, but you get a lot more. As well as the Nintendo Switch 2 console Mario Kart World, and Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack membership, you get some hardware. You also get a Nintendo Switch camera for online gaming. That bundle costs £25 monthly for 24 months, and you have to pay £20 upfront. Buy now at EE Alex Lee6 June 2025 10:11 Who else might drop stock? It's hard to predict stock drops, but two big players have been noticeably quiet so far. We haven't seen any stock from John Lewis, despite rumours that the retailer might have a few consoles. It might be that their stock has been held back for today or the weekend to capitalise on the limited stock at other sellers. The other conspicuous absence is Nintendo itself. There was no stock on the My Nintendo store, so we might see some drops over the coming days. Alex Lee 6 June 2025 09:18 Nintendo Switch 2 back in stock at EE It looked like EE had sold out, but The Mario Kart World bundle is back. It's a £22 a month for 24 months plan. This might be your best chance for a Switch 2 this morning, but you can only buy it if you're an EE customer. Buy now at EE Alex Lee6 June 2025 08:43 Where to buy a Switch 2 right now Stock looks very depleted this morning. As of right now, you have two options, and neither is great. The Switch is technically still available at Argos, but I've only found it in one shop in the country. It's still worth checking if you live somewhere relatively remote, but it looks like there's no stock in big cities. Keep refreshing – you might have more luck over this morning Buy now at Argos Your other option is EE, which seems to have plenty of stock. the drawback here is that you need to be an EE customer. The Mario Kart World bundle is available on a £22 a month for 24 months plan, which works out at £526, much more expensive in the long run than the £429.99 launch price. You can't buy the deal if you're already on a 24 month plan with the network, either. Alex Lee6 June 2025 06:50
