Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a screen protector?
Having a screen protector isn’t necessary, but it does guarantee that you won’t have any scratches on the screen, and it’s far less likely to crack if the Switch is dropped.
Will the cases meant for the regular Nintendo Switch fit a Switch Lite?
Yes, the larger cases will fit a Nintendo Switch Lite, but there may be some extra room in the case for it to move around and possibly get damaged. It’s important to note that the cases meant for the Switch Lite won’t fit the regular Nintendo Switch.
Can the larger pouches fit an AC power adapter?
Most likely the power adapter won’t be able to squeeze into the larger pouch in the cases. However, there is a specific spot for the power adapter in the iVoler Messenger Bag.
