Canadian tech accessory giant Dbrand has once again stirred the pot in the gaming community with its latest revelation—a new case designed specifically for the highly anticipated Nintendo Switch 2. This announcement follows a series of teasers and speculative discussions that have kept enthusiasts on the edge of their seats, waiting for any official news about the next generation of Nintendo’s groundbreaking console.
Magnetic Joy-Cons and Innovative Design Features
Dbrand, a company not shy about its bold marketing tactics, has recently shared images and even a product page featuring a translucent case enclosing what appears to be the Nintendo Switch 2. This move comes shortly after their cryptic social media post which left fans buzzing with questions.
In an exciting development, The Verge reported that Dbrand’s CEO, Adam Ijaz, disclosed the actual measurements of the upcoming Switch 2, derived from a 3D scan of the real hardware. According to Ijaz, the Switch 2 will sport a width of 270mm with Joy-Cons attached and 200mm without, a height of 116mm, and a thickness of just 14mm—slightly larger but comparably thin to the current Switch OLED model. These dimensions suggest a more robust design while maintaining the sleek, portable essence of the original model.
Dbrand’s History of Controversy and Teasing
Further enhancing the user experience, Dbrand’s new case design hints at a magnetic connection system for the Joy-Cons, allowing for easy detachment without removing the console from its case—a feature that aligns with previous rumors and adds a layer of convenience for gamers on the go.
Additionally, the enigmatic ‘C’ button positioned below the home button was also mentioned by Ijaz. Its purpose remains a mystery, sparking a wave of speculation across gaming forums and social media platforms.
What’s Next for Nintendo Switch 2?
Dbrand has a notorious reputation for its controversial antics and a flair for teasing its audience. From challenging legal boundaries with its Clone of the Kingdom decal for the original Switch during Nintendo’s release of Tears of the Kingdom to embedding sassy messages in its product designs, Dbrand has consistently managed to capture the gaming community’s attention.
Their latest project, the Switch 2 case—dubbed the “KillSwitch”—includes cryptic hexadecimal codes as part of the design, adding an element of intrigue and interaction for fans who enjoy cracking codes.
While Dbrand’s recent reveal provides a glimpse into the possible design and features of the Switch 2, the official details from Nintendo remain under wraps. With rumors circulating about new accessories, 3D printed models, and possible MicroSD card support, anticipation continues to build. Nintendo’s nod to the future during The Game Awards suggests that 2025 might be the year we finally see the next evolution of the Switch console.
