Purah Pad Nintendo Switch Carrying Case
A bag almost as good as the switch inside
Nintendo has turned Link's Purah Pad from Breath Of The Wild into an officially licensed Switch Carry case so you can pretend to be the hero of Hyrule when you take your console on the go.
- One of the best looking Switch cases you will ever find
- An officially licensed Nintendo product created by PDP

Some people are more than happy to carry their Switch in a regular case, but I have a feeling you'd prefer your case to have both style and substance. If so, there is no better bag than this one. I don't care if you love The Legend Of Zelda or not, this is the best Switch case on the market.
The case has been designed to look like the Purah Pad Breath of the Wild is built around. Given to Link at the beginning of his adventure, Link uses the Pad to help him in so many ways throughout Hyrule. No, the carrying case version doesn't have as many features as the in-game Pad, but it will keep your Switch safe and look good while doing it.
