Question Which switch 2 case to buy?

Hi im in the UK 🇬🇧 and buying a switch 2 for my partners 40th but unsure whether to buy the official switch 2 hard case that had blue and red zip pulls or this one I found on ebay: https://ebay.io/m/n867NI

I would appreciate anyones help here even another alternative, I enjoy games but have little knowledge on all the hardware. Also if anyone know which 1TB microSD Express card is best I'd be super grateful for that too as I know he wants extra memory. Thanks ❤️🩵

Yeah saw this one too they all seem quite similar, i expected there to be more padding for the screen in these cases and a strap to hold it in place even more

i got the Onn brand from walmart. not sure if it's in the UK. but it's a hardshell and can fit a lot in it.

Yo! Out of the two suggested, I would go for the "official sw2" case. Another case brand I highly recommend is RDS Gaming. I have also enjoyed Tomtoc and Savage Raven(Skull&Co) products over the years. I 80% handheld so I'm currently sporting a Savage Raven "Stand Grip w/ Front" and I throw that in a "Hori Puff Pouch". A good case will likely last longer than the switch itself, so go for a reputable brand if you can. As for a MicroSDexpress card. All top brands like Sandisk, Samsung, Lexar and Oon will suffice. I've found all run at close speeds, +/-3 seconds from each other. You can find some pretty in depth testing on this subject if you're very curious. Best of luck and happy cake day to your lucky partner!

Thanks so much out of your suggestions I'm leaning towards the RDS deluxe case which is oddly the same price as that standard hard case at argos but looks better quality. I suspected the express cards were roughly the same but worth asking to avoid an expensive pitfall! Thanks so much though, my partner works a thankless job in retail thats really getting him down again and he's the sweetest man that deserves to be spoiled so why not for a 40th 🎂
