I went full 180° on this product, and here's why
I bought this case to try it out and fully intended to send it back after a couple weeks, because I expected to really dislike it. I read the reviews that shunned how much more stiff the L/R buttons felt through the case. I read complaints about how people weren't actually able to use their Switch docked. I'm not sending this grip back. Yes, the L/R buttons are a little stiffer, but they wear in after a little bit of use and you also get used to them. Its less that they're stiff, and more that you have to press the button at a slightly different angle than the console itself. Its not a big deal. I haven't gotten any worse at Splatoon. Yes, the Switch struggles to keep a docked connection in all three of my docks: Two launch edition, one bought about 6 months later. Skull & Co. says that the docking issues are caused by less space at the top of some dock revisions. I followed their instructions for a fix and I disagree. My experience is that the bottom of the GripCase is too thick, so the USB-C connector in the dock isn't being completely inserted into the console. In all of my docks, if I press down with a little force, I get a connection until I lift up again. That tells me that something towards the bottom of the dock isn't quite right. So why, if other reviews are true, am I keeping this case and giving it four stars? Its convenient and it keeps my hands from hurting. I play Switch games primarily in handheld mode, even at home, and the GripCase makes that a great experience instead of simply a good one. Would it be nice to dock the Switch without taking the GripCase off? You bet it would, and thats why I'm detracting one star. But it takes literally 3 seconds to take the GripCase off, so its not a big deal. If you mostly use your Switch handheld, you owe it to yourself to get some sort of grip. While it isn't perfect, this is a pretty good one.
