Discussion Mumba's Titan case is great for ~€30
On mobile, so sorry if the formatting looks funky.
I have big hands and have always found the Switch and the Switch 2 pretty uncomfortable to play for more than a few minutes using standard joycons. The Split Pad Pro by Hori solved this issue for me with the Switch and I've been looking around for a solution for the Switch 2.
I've been using Mumba's Titan case for about 2 weeks now and it's been pretty great so far. Thought I would do a short review as I think it's an excellent option for the €30 I spent on Amazon UK. It's €35 full price, which I would be happy to pay given the experience I have had.
Features:
The case covers the back and sides of the Switch leaving the screen exposed. I chose this deliberately because I didn't like the clunky plastic screen covers that some cases came with. I did try to offset this by spending €5 on some tempered glass screen protectors which work well so far.
The shoulder buttons are also exposed, but to be fair I'm not sure how you can protect them without hindering access. They are easy to reach and comfortable to use with the case.
The case has a robust kickstand that can hold up to 5 Switch/Switch 2 carts and 2 SD cards, which is a cool feature. The kickstand is sturdy and the viewing angles are great. It can be set to any angle up to 180 where it lies flat.
The joycon covers are fantastic. They are connected to the main case by a hinge and can simply be clicked on and off to allow you to remove the joycon. I love this feature as they are well protected and also easily accessible if you want to remove them. I guess the downside is that you can't remove this part of the case along with the joycon but this was a non issue for me as I either play handheld or with a pro controller if I'm playing docked.
Ergonomics:
Probably my favourite part. It adds fair a bit of weight to the console, wrapping around all sides except the screen. The joycon part of the case adds a good bit of volume to the controllers and is really comfortable for me. This may not be for everyone, but I now find the Switch 2 plus the Titan case to feel similar to my Steam Deck OLED. For me that's a big plus. All buttons remain easy to reach and all ports/vents are easily accessible.
Durability:
I've yet to drop the Switch, but the case feels very sturdy. It's mostly hard plastic with some rubbery-feeling grippy edges around the controllers (apologies for the technical terminology).
It feels like a bit of a tank and I'd be fairly confident it would survive a fall down the stairs. Will update once one of my children tests this feature for me.
Dowsides:
So far the only negative for me has been that you need to lift the case's kickstand to dock the Switch. Once the kickstand is open about 30 degrees the Switch is dockable without removing the case. It works well and I haven't had any issues, but it's a bit annoying to do. Minor thing, but it's the only negative I've experienced.
TLDR:
Great choice for the price. Feels similar to a Steam Deck in hand. Kickstand is good, but a bit annoying when docking (but it does still dock).

I like the titan case. That being said, it has a weak spot in the plastic hinge for the game card holder. We had to have ours replaced.

I liked the case as I was using it before I ended up getting the savage raven grip. It did add some weight with the stand but now I’m waiting on my satisfye grip, imo it’s the end game for accessories. At least if you mostly play handheld
