Nice dockable case.

Fits great on the Switch 2 and docks very easily. The magnetic mount for the energy pack is definitely a great feature as well. Only reason to really take off 1 star is that in the FAQ on the product page it said it holds 2 carts per grip for a total of 4, but in reality it holds 1 each for a total of 2.
The case fits perfectly and looks good but the arms that swing back for the joy cons to come off pull on the joy cons a little too much for my liking as it looks like it’s trying to pull them out without pushing the release button. The hard shell cover is too snug to where trying to put it on is a task because the bottom part of the case can get ripped off if you don’t pull kinda hard to pull the case over the bottom of the switch and case. There’s also no easy way to take it off so I have to hold it sideways and pull the cover and switch with the case apart. But when it’s together it’s nice and secure which will make a good case for protection but for everyday use it’s inconvenient to put on and pull off. The joy cons are also not completely covered on the tip due to the swinging mechanism which is bad for me because I like as much cover as I can get to avoid scratches. Good case with the protection to be great with some changes.
This case is minimalist as advertised and feels great in handheld. The case both feels like the natural system of the while still giving you a nice grip feel you would not otherwise have. The grips provide good placement for your middles fingers on the back while your index fingers are on the LB and RB. Front cover (if you included it in your purchase) is pretty easy to get on and off, but doesn’t fit on with the thumb extension that I had on with the left stick.Fits good in the dock. Slides right in and charges no problem. You just don’t get the feeling it is all the way on, like you do with no dock, but it is.One feature that I hadn’t thought much about was that the case gives you full access to the kickstand. Had another case that I tried, but it blocked it, giving me a kickstand that was inferior to the switch 2’s. The kickstand on the switch 2 is a very nice upgrade of the switch 2, and would not want a case that blocks it.
The Genki Force Field 2 with travel cover is a solid and premium-feeling case for the Switch 2. The materials feel high quality, and it covers the console really well without making the grips too bulky. The travel cover adds a nice extra layer of protection, making it easy to toss the console into a bag and go. I also like how easy it is to remove the Joy-Con thanks to the hinged design, and the one-piece build gives it a sturdy feel overall. The fact that it’s dockable is a big plus, and I appreciate the easy access to the kickstand. Without the travel cover, it’s even compatible with the Genki Sleeper Case and still fits inside a Hori Game Traveler case, which is a great bonus.That said, it’s not perfect. The fit in the dock is a little tight, so I’d recommend using a glass screen protector (like the one Genki offers). The cartridge slots only hold one game each, and they’re so snug it almost feels like pulling the cartridge out could damage it. Also, while the product photos suggest that the Joy-Con hinge covers can open while docked, that’s not really the case—the hinges sit just outside the dock, so they won’t open in that position.Overall, this is a sturdy and well-designed case that offers excellent protection and thoughtful features, even if there are a couple of small drawbacks. Definitely a great option if you’re looking for a premium Switch 2 case.
I recieved my Genki Force Field 2 with Travel cover on August 9th and used it for a little over a week before making this review on it. I preordered this case the week the console released as I wanted something to make the Switch 2 more unibody and something that was very compact and minimal. First off, I have not removed the Force Field 2 since recieving it and it makes noticably more comortable while not adding too much to it's profile. It is still dockable but the dock does need to be held down in order to remove it, while annoying not the end of the world and I have already ordered a compact shell for my switch 2 dock so this will no longer be an issue once that arrives. My two biggest complaints about this case, one being minor is the cartridge cutouts in the grip are a little too tight, I feel like I'm going to break the cartridge trying to take it out. I did solve this issue by sanding the nubs down some but it isn't something I should have to fix myself. My biggest complaint about this case is definitely the travel cover itself, while it does protect the switch 2 very well, it's just a little too rigid to take on and off easily and there's really no intended way or place to use your fingers to pry it off, I wish the bottom lip had a softer material to make it come off and on more easily and/or the plastic were just more malleable and easier to work with. Overall my experience has been great and I think I chose a great forever partner for my Switch 2. I would recommend this case if you're someone who wants just a little extra grip, a more unibody switch if you never remove the joy cons and/or just want something that is sleek and minimal you can throw in your bag without taking up much space. If the few of my complaints could be addressed this would easily be a 5/5 case for me but the few drawbacks keep me from calling it perfect.
I don't normally write reveals, but seeing as I've waited quite a while for this to be shipped out to me ─ It's a lot cheaper feeling then you'd expect. That's 100% due to how creaky the flip hinge is even while its on the device surprisingly. There's a few design decisions that I feel weren't well thought out. Namely:- Again, the flip hinge not being as snug or robust- An uncomfortable grip because the cut out is harsh and presses against your palm- The secret compartment for your game is extremely difficult to remove and feels like I am breaking both the cartridge and the case- The travel cover is difficult to apply and remove, I can see the lower frame under the screen breaking under constant pressure
