Quick answer
Choose the Nyko Bubble Case for maximum shock absorption during travel, or the Nyko Thin Case for a slim profile with added screen protection.
Protection philosophy: foam vs. hard shell
The Bubble Case uses a lightweight high-density foam barrier to absorb impacts, making it ideal for commutes and multiplayer travel. The Thin Case, by contrast, is a hard shell that adds a protective layer over the console and Joy-Con controllers without adding bulk. It also includes a tempered glass screen protector, which the Bubble Case does not.
Trade-offs at a glance
- Bubble Case: shock absorption: High-density foam absorbs bumps and drops during travel. Adds more bulk than the Thin Case but weighs very little.
- Thin Case: slim fit + screen protector: Hard shell adds minimal thickness. Includes a tempered glass screen protector. Does not absorb impacts as well as foam.
- Which one protects the screen?: Only the Thin Case comes with a screen protector. The Bubble Case protects the console body but leaves the screen exposed. If screen protection is a priority, the Thin Case is the better choice out of the box.
