When you first get your Nintendo Switch, you might need to get some accessories such as screen protectors and cases to protect your precious new toy. Here is a list of the top 5 you should get at affordable prices too.

Before you even use your Switch, this should be your number 1 item, especially if scratches are not really your thing. The Switch is a handheld machine, so at some point in time you are going to get a scratch or 2 on it whenporting it around (and docking / undocking). Having a screen protector will also protect your screen from the Switch TV Dock, which might scratch your Switch display.
Get yours for just $2.99 - $5.99!
2) External Memory Card for less than S$20 / $80
The Switch comes with only 32GB worth of space, and by the time you start it up, at least another 4GB or so are taken up by the system. So getting extra storage is key. While you can still buy games on cartridges for the Switch, some titles might need extra storage, and if you intend on going digital then all the more you need a Memory Card.
You can get a 64GB card for less than S$20 and a 256GB card is less than S$80!
Also with the double date and festive sales, it can even get cheaper with promotions and vouchers.
3) Case & Screen Protector for less than S$10
If you are the kind of person who likes pretty things and cheap things, then you can also consider this pretty case.

The only downside of the pretty case is that the Switch cannot be docked when you put on the case. But that’s a small thing, as the case can be easily snapped on and off anytime (same for the joy con covers). The screen protector is also very easy to apply, so a bonus of sorts along with the cute cat paw print thumb grip caps!
For just less then S$10, you not only get the casing, but a tempered glass cover and two joy con grip covers as well. How’s that for a steal?
Of course, if you want something more cuter you can always get the decorated TPU covers for under S$10 (without the screen protector).

4) Extra Joy-Cons for less than S$60
If you want to play with your family or friends, then you definitely would need to get an extra pair of joy-cons. But what to do if the original joy-cons are too pricey? Well, that would be where the Dobe joy-cons come in pretty handy (and for almost half the price of the original Nintendo joy-cons too).
Connection is easy and fast. It is thicker than the original joy-cons, so it has a better grip then the original joy-cons. The only thing is that there are no cases that will fit this joy-con, and charging is via its Type C port. But at this pricing it is perfect to get as a spare or for your 2nd / 3rd / n players.

Want something a little more cheaper (and cuter)? Then you should consider the Panda Joy-con for just S$48.
5) Pro-controller for less than $50
Get a Pro Controller, which is more comfortable to hold for extended periods as its ergonomic contoured grips make it a comfortable upgrade from the joy-cons. This pair from IINE are pretty affordable for less than $50!
If you think the wake up the switch function and using amiibo is not too critical for you, then you can get it for less than S$40!
