In an interview with GamesBeat Logan Olson, director of Future Ventures at Belkin, explained that this initiative reflects the company’s broader strategic direction. The Future Ventures group was created to help Belkin explore new categories and form new partnerships. Olson noted that while Belkin has a history in the gaming space dating back to the early 2000s, the current generation of mobile console gaming—led by the success of the original Nintendo Switch—presents a compelling opportunity for the brand to reengage.

Charging and Protection for On-the-Go Gaming

Among the new accessories is the Nintendo Switch 2 Charging Case, which integrates a 10,000mAh battery. The case is designed to keep the console charged while offering physical protection. It also includes compartments for game cards and other essentials. The case supports fast charging at 20 watts through the Switch 2’s USB-C port and is built with special firmware that regulates temperature during use. This allows for safe charging even while the device is stored inside the case. Belkin noted that about 55 percent of Switch players use the device in handheld mode, making mobile power solutions increasingly important.

The travel-focused design extends to the new Nintendo Travel Case, which combines portability with durable construction. It provides an additional option for gamers who want a simpler carrying solution without integrated charging features. This case is expected to be priced around $30, while the charging case is set at approximately $70, subject to possible tariff-related pricing adjustments.

Enhanced Screen Protection for Mobile Use

Belkin is also offering two new screen protectors for the Switch 2. The first is the TemperedGlass Anti-Reflective Screen Protector, which is designed to reduce glare and smudges while maintaining durability. This makes it easier for users to play games outdoors or in brightly lit environments. The second option is the TemperedGlass Blue Light Screen Protector, which is intended to reduce eye strain by limiting blue light exposure during extended gaming sessions, particularly in low-light settings. This version is priced at around $25, while the anti-reflective protector will be available in packs starting at $30. Both protectors are made from recycled glass, reflecting Belkin’s ongoing commitment to environmentally responsible materials.

Olson highlighted the technical challenges involved in developing screen protectors, pointing to the detailed engineering process from material selection to adhesive design. Belkin’s experience in producing similar accessories for smartphones and tablets has informed its approach to Switch 2 products, particularly in balancing durability with user comfort.

Targeting a Broad and Growing Market

Nintendo has sold over 150 million units of the original Switch since its release in 2017, creating a large and diverse user base. Belkin’s decision to develop accessories for the Switch 2 reflects the continued growth of the mobile console gaming segment. Olson pointed out that this category appeals to a wide demographic, with a relatively balanced gender distribution and cross-generational appeal from Gen Alpha to Boomers.

Belkin’s focus has been on addressing common pain points identified among users, such as battery life limitations and screen damage risks. By offering solutions that combine practical functionality with consistent product quality, the company aims to set a new benchmark for accessories in the Switch 2 ecosystem.
