That’s where gaming accessories manufacturer Nyko looks to change things up with the release of the Power Shell Case for the Nintendo Switch. Currently available for $39.99 on Amazon (and later this month at ToysRus), the Power Shell Case has been designed to kill two birds with one stone, providing players a “durable hard shell [case] and an internal 5,000 mAh battery that charges the Switch via the case’s stowaway Type-C charging cable.” LED indicators on the case display power levels for what Nyko says is easy reference “at a glance”. 

On top of providing an on-the-go charging solution for the Switch, the Power Shell Case also comes with a built-in stand, a Micro-USB cable, 12 cartridge slots, and four microSD slots.
