Nintendo Switch 2 design seemingly leaked by carrying case maker — similar aesthetics but with a larger screen and Joy-Cons

Dbrand render of its Killswitch case atop the Nintendo Switch 2.

Several legitimate-looking leaks of the Nintendo Switch 2's final design have surfaced this past week. Still, these culminated yesterday with Dbrand's unexpected release of a full 3D render of a Nintendo Switch 2, albeit with a version of the Dbrand Killswitch carrying case for handheld PCs redesigned for Switch 2. Speaking to The Verge on the topic, Dbrand CEO Adam Ijaz claimed the company used its access to the actual dimensions of Switch 2 based on a 3D scan of actual hardware, which measures roughly 270mm wide with Joy-Cons attached (200mm without), 116mm tall, and 14mm thick.

The apparent Nintendo Switch 2 also has a much larger 8-inch screen versus Switch OLED's 7.2-inch and Switch's 6.2-inch displays, adds an extra "C" (capture?) button on the right Joy-Con, sports magnetically-detachable Joy-Con controllers with a more pronounced curve, top and bottom USB-C ports, and has a wide U-shaped kickstand, akin to the improved stand on Switch OLED.
