Let&#8217;s take a look!<\/p>\n<h3><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/images.mobilefun.co.uk\/graphics\/300pixelp\/olixar-nintendo-switch-travel-adapter-with-usb-c-charging-cable-p63239-300.jpg\" alt=\"Olixar Nintendo Switch Travel Adapter with USB-C Charging Cable\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/>Nintendo Switch travel adapter<\/h3>\n<p>This handy travel adapter pack comes with a USB-C charging cable and a mains travel adapter with four different plugs, allowing you to recharge from New York to Seoul (and the whole South Pole, where they&#8217;re keeping it cold<a href=\"https:\/\/genius.com\/Ugly-duckling-rock-on-top-lyrics\">*<\/a>). It&#8217;s a 3A unit too, so your Switch will recharge with speed.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/nintendo-switch-fast-charge-travel-adapter-with-usb-c-charging-cable-63239\">Shop Olixar Switch Travel Adapter with USB-C Cable<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Nintendo Switch screen protector &#8211; Twin Pack<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/images.mobilefun.co.uk\/graphics\/300pixelp\/olixar-nintendo-switch-tempered-glass-screen-protector-p63120-300.jpg\" alt=\"Olixar Nintendo Switch Tempered Glass Screen Protector\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/>As we <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/blog\/2017\/03\/protect-ya-screen-the-nintendo-switchs-biggest-design-flaw\/\">covered earlier<\/a>, the Nintendo Switch&#8217;s screen isn&#8217;t protected by sapphire or even glass like most mobile devices &#8212; it&#8217;s just plastic. That unfortunately means that it&#8217;s very easy to scratch or damage; it can even be scratched when placing it into its own charging dock! For that reason, we recommend that you pick up a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/nintendo-switch-tempered-glass-screen-protector-twin-pack-64077\">Switch screen protector<\/a>. These Olixar screen protectors will add a layer of tempered glass, providing long-lasting protection without affecting touch sensitivity or optical clarity. Awesome.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/nintendo-switch-tempered-glass-screen-protector-twin-pack-64077\">Shop Olixar Switch Tempered Glass Screen Protector<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You can also pick up a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/olixar-nintendo-switch-screen-protector-2-in-1-pack-63253\">plastic film version 2-in-1 pack<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Nintendo Switch charger<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/images.mobilefun.co.uk\/graphics\/300pixelp\/olixar-high-power-nintendo-switch-mains-charger-cable-p63156-300.jpg\" alt=\"Olixar High Power Nintendo Switch Mains Charger &amp; Cable\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/>If you&#8217;re looking for a replacement (or second) <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/nintendo\/switch-accessories\/chargers\">Nintendo Switch charger<\/a>, then you can pick one up easily. Unlike past games consoles from Nintendo (and others), the Switch charges using USB-C. That means all you need is a sufficiently powerful mains charger and a USB-C cable, and you&#8217;ll be in business. We&#8217;ve got exactly that in stock now, so if you want to have a Switch charger in multiple rooms or keep one in your bag to recharge on the go, you can!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/olixar-high-power-nintendo-switch-mains-charger-cable-63156\">Shop Olixar High Power Nintendo Switch Mains Charger &amp; Cable<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Nintendo Switch car holder &amp; charger<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/images.mobilefun.co.uk\/graphics\/300pixelp\/olixar-nintendo-switch-car-mount-p63154-300.jpg\" alt=\"Olixar Nintendo Switch Car Mount\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/>The Switch is probably the best games console ever made, at least when it comes to playing in the car. You can of course use it in handheld mode, but the tablet mode is a lot more comfortable (particularly for long periods). Pick up this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/nintendo\/switch-accessories\/car-holders\">Switch car holder<\/a>, and you&#8217;ll have the screen securely mounted at head height, allowing you to relax in the back seat and play in comfort. Combine with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/cat\/USB-C-Car-Chargers.htm\">USB-C car charger<\/a>\u00a0and you&#8217;ll be able to keep playing even on long road trips &#8212; it&#8217;s the perfect way to pass the time!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/olixar-nintendo-switch-car-holder-and-mount-63154\">Shop Olixar Nintendo Switch Car Mount<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/olixar-3-1a-high-power-usb-c-car-charger-58025\">Shop Olixar 3.1A High Power USB-C Car Charger<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Nintendo Switch memory cards<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/images.mobilefun.co.uk\/graphics\/300pixelp\/samsung-evo-plus-64gb-microsdxc-card-class-10-with-adapter-p58526-300.jpg\" alt=\"Samsung EVO Plus 64GB MicroSDXC Card - Class 10 with Adapter\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/>Like the 3DS before it, the Switch uses Micro SD cards to store game installs and other data, but only comes with 25GB of free space. That makes picking up a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/nintendo\/switch-accessories\/memory-cards\">Micro SD card<\/a> pretty much mandatory if you want to have more than a couple of games installed at a time; Zelda Breath of the Wild alone takes up 13GB! When looking at Micro SD cards both speed and capacity are important. That&#8217;s why we&#8217;re recommending Samsung&#8217;s Evo+ 64GB card, which combines UHS-I speeds with a good amount of capacity at a reasonable price.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/samsung-evo-plus-64gb-microsdxc-card-class-10-with-adapter-58526\">Shop Samsung Evo+ 64GB Micro SD card<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/nintendo\/switch-accessories\/memory-cards\">Shop more Nintendo Switch memory cards<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Nintendo Switch charging dock<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/images.mobilefun.co.uk\/graphics\/300pixelp\/kidigi-usb-c-nintendo-switch-desktop-charging-dock-p63155-300.jpg\" alt=\"Kidigi USB-C Nintendo Switch Desktop Charging Dock\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/>The built-in charging dock for the Switch isn&#8217;t ideal, as it has a tendency of scratching the console&#8217;s vulnerable screen. This replacement from Kidigi is a much better bet, as it holds the Switch safely while charging. It&#8217;s also much smaller, so you can throw it in your bag to recharge at the office or at a friend&#8217;s house.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mobilefun.co.uk\/kidigi-usb-c-nintendo-switch-desktop-charging-dock-63155\">Shop Kidigi Nintendo Switch USB-C Charging Dock<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Wrapping up<\/h3>\n<p>We&#8217;ll continue to get more Nintendo Switch accessories in the days and weeks to come, and we promise to update this blog when we do!
