The essentials most players add are a charging case or charging grip to extend play time, a screen protector to guard the larger Switch 2 display, and a travel case or bag to carry it safely. From there, a power bank adds backup charge for long trips, and a fast USB-C wall charger and cable speed up charging at home. Belkin makes all of these specifically for the Nintendo Switch 2.

They all add battery, but in different shapes. The Charging Case is a protective case with a built-in 10K battery, drop and scratch protection, and game card storage, so your console is protected and topped up in one piece. The Charging Grip is a comfortable non-slip grip with a magnetic 30W power bank, a kickstand, and a digital battery display, made for handheld play with extra charge in your hands. The Power Bank 20K is a standalone 20,000mAh battery with 30W USB-C charging and a built-in cable that can also charge your phone and earbuds. For a full walkthrough, see Belkin's Nintendo Switch 2 charging cases guide.

For the most backup charge, the Belkin Power Bank 20K with 30W USB-C is built for the Switch 2: 20,000mAh, 30W fast charging that keeps the console powered during demanding games, a built-in USB-C cable, and enough capacity to recharge it multiple times or top up a phone and earbuds on the same trip. If you would rather charge while you hold the console, the Charging Grip has a magnetic 30W power bank instead.

No. The Nintendo Switch 2 has a larger screen and a different body and Joy-Con design than the original Switch, so cases, grips, and screen protectors made for the Switch 2 are sized specifically for it and will not fit the original Switch (or the Switch OLED or Lite). Make sure any accessory is labeled for the Nintendo Switch 2. Belkin's chargers and cables are USB-C, so those work across devices, but the fitted accessories are Switch 2 only.

Belkin's Nintendo Switch 2 accessories are designed and tested specifically for the Switch 2 to fit precisely and charge safely, with Belkin's connected-equipment protections. For the current licensing badge on any specific item, check that product page.

For travel, a fitted Travel Case gives the Switch 2 hard-shell protection in a bag, while the larger Travel Bag holds the console plus Joy-Cons, chargers, cables, and game cards in one organized kit. If you want protection and charge in a single piece, the Charging Case doubles as a protective case with a built-in battery. Keep any power bank in your carry-on, never checked luggage.

A screen protector is worth adding. The Switch 2 has a larger glass touchscreen that is exposed during handheld play and travel, so a tempered-glass protector guards against scratches from game cards, bags, and tables. Belkin makes two tempered-glass options for the Switch 2: an anti-reflective version for glare reduction and a blue-light-filter version. See all Nintendo Switch 2 screen protectors to compare them.
