5 Of 2025's Best Cheap Switch 2 Accessories: Cases, Pads, And More
You've paid a lot for your Nintendo Switch 2, so now it's time to pay less for the inevitable ... More accessories you need for it. So, you've spent $500 on this year's hottest console, which now begs the question: given you've already paid a small fortune for it, should you stick with Nintendo for Switch 2 accessories? If 2025's early selection is anything to go by, it's a great chance to save some money. You'd be forgiven for questioning the quality of the third-party cases, covers, controllers, and charging docks that have flooded stores so quickly after launch day, but this is 2025. It's one hell of a competitive market, and one that's driving probably the best level of craftsmanship from unofficial manufacturers. With this in mind, here are a handful of recommendations that won't break the bank, and in some cases, genuinely perform better than Nintendo's alternatives. However, the company knows good partners when it sees them, because a couple of approved collaborations have found their way onto this list. Best cheap Switch 2 controller: PowerA Advantage Wired Controller ($40) PowerA has a habit of getting things done very well without going above and beyond, as most recently proved by its flashy, light-up Xbox controller, which I adore. The PowerA Advantage Wired Controller for Switch 2 — which is officially licensed — is also a lovely bit of kit. The PowerA Advantage is also available in more garish, Nintendo-themed colors, if that's your thing. FEATURED | Frase ByForbes™ Unscramble The Anagram To Reveal The Phrase Pinpoint By Linkedin Guess The Category Queens By Linkedin Crown Each Region Crossclimb By Linkedin Unlock A Trivia Ladder It's much lighter than standard Switch 1 and 2 Pro Controllers, making it especially great for younger players, and the sticks alone are its strongest draw, combining Hall effect sensors with an obscenely smooth feel. The only thing I really don't like about it is the button placement for +/-, Home, GameChat, and Screenshot, which are lined up in a solid row at the bottom of the front face. There are three things in life guaranteed: death, taxes, and always forgetting the order of these buttons. It must be said that the PowerA recommendation is based on in-store and online availability. Loads of online sellers, particularly those shipping directly from China, are transforming the broader controller market, so you should also check out a few other options from the likes of Mobapad and GameSir, which have updated their firmware for the next generation (and, more often than not, work just as well as PC controllers). Of course, there's always the ultimate meeting-in-the-middle option: using a standard Switch Pro Controller. You can pick them up for about $45; the battery lasts forever, and it's still the best and most comfortable standard console controller from the last generation. However, you won't get the same vibration, nor can it turn your Switch 2 on. Best budget all-in-one Switch 2 case: Snakebyte System Organizer Case S2 ($30) Even though it's a little plain to look at, Snakebyte's System Organizer Case S2 is an absolute masterpiece — it just gets everything right, offering loads of flexibility with its detachable console case in the lid. Snakebyte's range is simple but effective. In the main chamber, there's plenty of room for the docking station, controllers, and wires. It features a solid, scratch-resistant shell that's also water-repellent, alongside a shoulder strap for easy carrying. Considering the official carry case retails for $80 or more (if you can even get one), this option from Snakebyte, for only $30, should be on anyone's shortlist. While you're there, and while it's not a category below because it's a bit niche, Snakebyte's Power Charge S2 is probably the best charging plug if you're a frequent traveller, especially because it comes with a standard U.S. plug and adaptors for Europe, the U.K., and Australia — not bad for $20. Best value compact Switch 2 travel case: Game Traveler Deluxe System Case ($30) As the most crowded market of all, the selection of Switch 2 travel cases depends on one key factor: will this case be in frequent contact with other items, such as a stuffed backpack or carry-on luggage? While some cases may look the part, there's a good chance you might ding your Joy-Cons with lighter protection, which is why I'm leading with something more heavy-duty. Most people will only buy one case for their Switch 2, so if you choose a smaller-sized one, opt for the official Game Traveler Deluxe System Case. Its biggest draw is that it not only protects the screen with a fabric flap, but also positions the console face into the broader case, meaning you don't have to worry about your Joy-Cons being knocked about from the outside. There's more than enough space for a controller and plug, plus 12 games in its weirdly overengineered 'Protection Library.' The Game Traveler Deluxe System Case. If you're a little more careful, and want to spend even less, you can't fault the $20 PowerA Slim Case for Nintendo Switch 2, which certainly looks the part thanks to its official partnership, but it won't stop your jaw from dropping if it hits the ground from a great height, nor does it quite protect the Joy-Con sticks. Best budget Switch 2 handheld protective case: Mumba Blade Series Dockable Case ($30) If you're much more of a handheld Switch 2 fan, but still want the flexibility to dock it and play on the big screen, the Mumba Blade Series case is a no-brainer. It might not look as aesthetically pleasing as other third-party options on the market, such as the refined Spigen Rugged Armor (also $30), but this is far more adaptable. The Mumba Blade Series Dockable Case for Switch 2. Too many cases — however lovely they are — don't fit the dock, but this has some very clever shaping that lets it drop in seamlessly. It also features a quick-release Joy-Con mode that allows you to detach them without needing to remove the entire case. It's sturdy and non-slip, but doesn't overcomplicate itself to such a degree that it can only be used by shovel-handed people like me — it's excellent for smaller palms, and the curves are comfortable enough for longer sessions. Best cheap Joy-Con charging stand: Venom Charging Station for Switch 2 ($23) The Switch 2 charging dock market is a bit crowded, especially for something that's a luxury — after all, you can just slap them back on the console and charge via the console dock. Still, Venom's offering takes up little space on whatever surface you pop them on, while also using their magnets to keep them in place. The Venom Twin Charging Dock for Switch 2. Availability is limited outside of Europe, but there are other good options available, including another dependable stand from Snakebyte with its Twin Charge S2, even if it's your classic flat-lay option. If you're made of money and somehow already own four Joy-Con 2s, don't be seduced by the four-way chargers that look like bodega magazine racks — my friend bought one with the best of intentions, only to immediately put two of his four controllers back on the Switch 2 at the end of a gaming session, rendering his quad stand pretty useless. Are there any recommendations that you have for other affordable Switch 2 accessories? Leave me a comment, or get in touch with me through the links below.

Bandanas give a head start to trendsetters
It looks like a napkin, has a hippie print and is found on all the best heads this summer. Never mind that it has no brim — the in-crowd has swapped sunhats for bandanas. Gracie Abrams, the 25-year-old pop siren dating the Irish actor Paul Mescal, wore a burgundy bandana for her debut on the stage at Glastonbury last month. In May, the model and actress Emily Ratajkowski sashayed down the Cannes red carpet with a vintage Gucci style. Other celebrities joining in the bandana trend include the designer Zufi Alexander and Anna Winter, the Berlin influencer. To Generation TikTok, the head covering is now as important in hot weather as sunglasses. They wear them with bikinis on the beach and summer dresses to the pub. High-street retailers have noticed a run on their stock. The buying team at Claire's Accessories reports that, to meet demand, its next collection will contain five more ranges. • Yee-ha! It's a cowboy boot summer• I said I'd never wear heels again. John Lewis say they're back. Will I? A £14 navy paisley number is a top performer at Marks & Spencer this season. Maddy Evans, its director of womenswear, said the bandana was 'having a real moment'. She added: 'People love the versatile accessory. It's easily worked into an outfit — whether knotted neatly around the neck, styled as a headscarf, tied around the waist or looped through a bag handle.' Silk varieties have featured on the latest designer catwalks. Styles on Chanel's Resort 2026 runway in Lake Como this spring were finished with hand-painted floral headscarves. Not convinced? Joy Montgomery, the British Vogue commerce editor, suggests trying the look on holiday. Think Jackie O, who liked to wear one while relaxing in Capri. Montgomery said that, while too impractical to wear at home, she made 'a concession for the bandana trend on a recent trip to Ibiza, with white-washed separates and aviators'. One could be used to keep the hair up while in the garden — as long as those funny looks can be ditched with the weeds.

Jennifer Lawrence Just Joined Kylie Jenner in Endorsing Summer's Biggest Trend
What's a gal with a fabulous scarf collection to do during these hot, humid months? Enter Jennifer Lawrence, who is all in on repurposing the versatile silk scarf for summer. Today, Lawrence and her husband Cooke Maroney, were spotted walking arm-in-arm in New York City. The actor, who has a well-documented love of tomato red (transcending baseball caps, jelly flats, and handbags alike) opted for a brightly colored T-shirt, lending a pop of color to an otherwise-neutral look. On the bottom, Lawrence wore a pair of flowing white trousers with black leather slides. Diamond / BACKGRIDUSA An expert accessorizer, Lawrence has finally hopped aboard the scarf skirt trend, trying a beige silk scarf with black trim and a surreal checkerboard print around her hips. She isn't the only one who is embracing the asymmetrical overskirt. In April, Chloë Sevigny, wore a Vaquera number that, while not a 1:1 comparison, helped kickstart the scarf-as-skirt trend again. Soon after, Alexa Chung traipsed through the streets of London, a brown Gucci scarf tied around her waist. Meanwhile, in Tuscany earlier this month, Kylie Jenner coordinated hers to her floral bikini top. With Jennifer Lawrence joining this list of stylish women, we'll call that another ringing endorsement for the scarf skirt.

There's a jewellery trend for everyone this summer! 7 styles to try, from chunky bangles to colourful beads
The easiest (and often more budget friendly!) way to update all your summer outfits for the new season is undoubtedly with jewellery. Especially when the heatwave hits and all you can bare putting on is a simple t-shirt and shorts or a floaty summer dress. Leave it to your accessories game to add some pizzazz without cranking up your internal body temperature in turn. Whether you're a less-is-more minimalist or you like to stack on alllll the jewels, jewellery has the ability to instantly take an outfit from boring and blah to show stopping status. Luckily, this summer there is no shortage of chic AF jewellery trends to choose from spanning earrings, necklaces, bracelets, rings and even anklets. Unlike some fashion trends that leave you having to pick your tribe – are you all about butter yellow or doing dotty for polka dots? – there's a lot of crossover with jewellery styles meaning you can tick off multiple trends with one accessory, earning yourself even more style points. Win-win! To find out how, read on for the seven best jewellery trends worth knowing about for summer 2025. Sea motifsHippie Fish Necklace £130.00 at Embellished Shell Bracelet $28.00 at Tone Large Shell Charm Stud Earrings £6.99 at New Look TikTok's fisherman aesthetic that was big news in the spring has led onto sardine girl summer. We've lost count of how many brands and influencers have released their own fish pendant necklace. But, that's not the only way to get in on the trend. There's plenty of fish – and sea horses, crabs, lobsters and other creatures – in the sea to adorn your jewellery of choice. Or, pick a pretty shell design for instant vacay vibes. Even if you're only heading to your local park for a spot of sunbathing. Boho beadsBeaded Bracelet £79.00 at Pendant Necklace £68.00 at AnthropologieSemi Precious Stone Necklace £69.00 at This trend is all about having fun, so the more colourful your beads, the better!

There's no avoiding the nostalgia of childhood summers, but that's a plus IMO.
