I usually do as well. I already have the official Switch Lite case but this flip cover looks really good.
I gave in and bought a generic-ish grip off of Amazon, I'll let you all know how it is (didn't want a Satisfye on account of wanting something that's better for face buttons first and foremost).
Hey, thanks so much c:
Two days left and still don't know if I should cancel my pre-order of the Pokémon Special Edition...
Well damn, I need this too.
My Flip Cover came today from Japan and its fucking nice.
The Hori shell might be what you're looking for: https://www.amazon.com/Nintendo-Swi...words=switch+lite+shell&qid=1573088126&sr=8-3
I want to get a Lite, just to use this case, lol.

Thanks for that but was thinking in the lines if anyone had any experience using one and how it fares.
A couple of mine wouldn't even let poor Link walk in a couple diagonal directions. Anyone would notice that. It just depends on severity.
You might as well check it. The package does not have any sticker seals so they (your kids or the retailer) wouldn't even know that it was opened. Also, you can set up the Switch by downloading firmware update(s) and creating/setting up their profile so it's ready to play come Christmas day.

Now you can stick it your pocked for fully portable fun, with the peace of mind its protected.
Got my Pokemon edition yesterday too and I'm keeping this one and selling my other Lite. This one finally is a *perfect* unit. Good volume from speakers, nice clicky dpad that registers inputs perfectly, other buttons nice and clicky, screen is warm and bright, etc. Looks really nice too. Only question is how long the design on the back holds up. Most of the finish on the back of my OG Switch has been eaten away by sweat. I kinda wish they were actually engraved instead of a coating, don't see that holding up more than a year.
build quality is great, it has a nice rough texture from the fabric that gives it a good grip. All the edges are folded over so don't think you will get any loose strings.
I am extremely close to picking up a Lite. I moved recently and am finding that, in my new location, I am taking my Switch out with me and doing a lot of gaming on the go.
Trying to decide between green and gray 😬 and hoping there will be some kind of BF discount, even though that seems unlikely. Should I just bite now? Also WHICH COLOR FAM

Between the two I'd say Turquoise just because it has some personality, but if I were buying one I'd probably go with the Yellow color. That's typically the one I see on display in stores for play and the thing is just gorgeous.
I wonder what the next "special edition" Lite will be.
I'm waiting for a good special edition Lite before I pick one up, I'm hoping for a Metroid Prime 4 one, or a cool Zelda one.

I feel like Animal Crossing is an obvious one. Will probably be announced in the next direct and release alongside the game.
Where did you order this from?

Pretty sure this is the only way to get one, coming to USA and Europe in 2020
ah okay.
they just went live on Play-asia, so was wondering.
also this alternative popped up on amazon
im deciding which one to go for
Man, the suction cups and weird grips are terrible. Guess I'll wait for the Nintendo one to come around
My Pokémon Switch Lite was delivered Friday and I've been loving it so far. Having a dedicated dpad has already been a huge boon to games I had avoided like Blaster Master Zero, Shovel Knight & Curse of the Moon.
I've had launch Switch since day one and have been using the Satisfye grip with it since that shipped through Indiegogo. So far the Lite is very comfortable with Hori's TPU clear case. I think I'm going to order Satisfye's Lite grip just to see how I like it.

Just popping in to say I fucking love my yellow Switch Lite. I'm playing FFXII on it right now and the size & form of the Lite is ideal for me. Hoping for an Animal Crossing Lite for my wife next year. 😄
*Sigh* that was fast. I picked up a turq on the way home from work
Saw a Switch Lite on display in person at the store the other night. From the moment I picked it up, I had to have it. Grabbed the Pokemon version since it's my favorite of the available colorways. Not a big fan of the rear, but the etching is subtle and I'll never really see it anyway.
I already own a regular Switch, but it's not my favorite thing to play as a handheld. The Lite feels a lot better in my hands. Its display is definitely warmer than my launch day Switch. The colors may also be slightly less vivid, though that's something that's probably more noticeable after prolonged use of the original Switch or when directly comparing the two.
One thing I noticed is a scanline or screendoor effect on the display. After searching, it seems others on reddit are experiencing the same issue. It seems to occur when the system is awoken from Sleep Mode, but not after a cold boot. It also corrects itself after a few minutes so it's not a huge deal. Other than that, the display actually seems pretty uniform. There's an audible click when pointing the left analog stick up, but I'm not too concerned about that yet.
I'm going to use the Lite exclusively for a while, except for docked play, without ever picking up my regular Switch. After I get used to it, I'm going to go back to the original Switch and see how I feel.

I screwed up 2/3 of my tempered glass screen protectors, the one currently on has a hair in the upper right quadrant and some dust particles. It isn't noticeable when I'm playing, but when it's off it's ugly. I'll leave it be, but it annoys me how bad I am putting them on.
Other than that, the Pokémon Lite is gorgeous with the colored buttons and grey color going on. Tetris is so much better to play on the Lite, Luigi's Mansion is great since, to me, the HD rumble doesn't feel pronounced that I feel like I'm missing out. Haven't tried Stretchers on it yet, but split joy-cons are a fun way to play the game.

That flip cover is amazing. It's pushing me toward making a Lite purchase even more, even if I have to import it lol.
Man I want that flip cover but if it's not going to come out until next year, I guess I'll get the plastic hori case for now.
quick question: if the Lite is your secondary switch, do you need to put your password in every time you redownload something, or is that just some setting I can't find?

I' near sighted so a normal screen is looking small to me. For example, I used 17" laptops and habe the same real estate as someone with perfect sight (I realize the same effect when wearing lenses, but I don't handle them well)
What's your feedback on the Lite. Is the screen big enough? I still stick to my OG Switch for that reason despite placing 99% handheld.

Can't speak to the near sightedness as I have perfect eyesight but I do wish the screen was a tad bigger. However the size is the winning factor for me as it way more manageable and portable. If you're happy with the size of a regular switch my recommendation is to stick with the OG.
I've been thinking of getting a lite and I love the yellow, but I've looking at some review about the Pokemon edition claiming that it seems to have a better screen. Also I've been wondering if since it's a slightly newer model it will be any better when it comes to drifting issues.
Do you have any insights into this?
