If you dropped $85 on the Nintendo Switch 2 Pro Controller and would like to keep it looking fresh, you may want to pick up a dedicated travel case. There's actually an officially licensed controller case made by RDS Industries that popped up on Amazon shortly before the Switch 2's launch. Available in a Zelda-themed edition or standard black, the RDS Game Traveler Deluxe Controller Case is up for grabs for $20 at Amazon.
The hardshell carrying case is compatible with both generations of the Switch Pro Controller and Joy-Con with grip attachments. You can also use it with a bunch of different third-party controllers; we highlighted some notable gamepads we've tested with the case at the bottom of this story.
If you want a Zelda-themed controller for your Tears of the Kingdom carrying case, there are a few third-party options from PowerA and Hori that will work with the case. Unfortunately, the official Tears of the Kingdom-themed Pro Controller is long gone--at least for its original $75 price. You can get preowned units from Amazon Renewed for around $90 or a new one from Amazon (sold by Amazon Japan) for $120.

Tears of the Kingdom Pro Controller:
All five of the 8BitD controllers below, including the superb Ultimate 2 Bluetooth--my current top pick for Switch 2--can be stored in the RDS Industries carrying case. That said, 8BitDo also has a pair of carrying cases. The $20 model is designed for the Ultimate series, while the $15 edition is for the Pro 2 (and upcoming Pro 3). Both models will work with the Switch 2 Pro Controller, but it's worth noting that these cases don't recessed inserts or elastic straps, so your controller will rattle around a bit. Both cases have mesh compartments for small accessories.
Heads up: Amazon does have a pretty great deal on the original 8BitDo Ultimate Bluetooth Controller bundled with the $20 carrying case that drops the price to only $45.
In addition to the pair of 8BitDo controller cases, another popular option is Scuf's Universal Controller Protection Case for $15. Scuf's hardshell case has a soft, recessed base and works well with Switch Pro Controllers.
