Nintendo’s April 2nd Direct introduced a wave of excitement with groundbreaking details about the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2—packed with new features like game chat, camera interaction, HDR10 support, and VRR up to 120Hz. With this next-gen console offering a fresh gaming experience, one question has been buzzing among fans: Will Plenbo release a G-Case 2 for the Switch 2?

Yes! Introducing G-Case GripShield 2

We’re thrilled to confirm that we will be launching a second-generation G-Case, officially named G-Case GripShield 2. Staying true to its roots, it will continue to serve as a battery-charging solution, ensuring uninterrupted gaming sessions on the go.

Nintendo Switch 2 Battery Specs – More Power, Less Playtime?

While the Switch 2 boasts an upgraded battery capacity, reports suggest a shorter battery life compared to previous models. Here’s a comparison of the battery specifications across Nintendo’s handheld lineup:

Model Battery Capacity Battery Life Charging Time
Nintendo Switch 2 5,220mAh (Lithium-ion) ~2–6.5 hours ~3 hours (Sleep mode)
Nintendo Switch OLED 4,310mAh (Lithium-ion) ~4.5–9 hours ~3 hours (Sleep mode)
Nintendo Switch 4,310mAh (Lithium-ion) ~4.5–9 hours ~3 hours (Sleep mode)
Nintendo Switch Lite 3,570mAh (Lithium-ion) ~3–7 hours ~3 hours (Sleep mode)

Given this, an external battery solution will be more essential than ever for extended playtime.

Launch Date & What to Expect

Plenbo’s G-Case GripShield 2‘s launch date hasn't been finalized yet.( Update on June 3rd: The launch plan has been postponed). Designed with both style and functionality, this upgraded case will offer powerful battery support, enhanced protection, and sleek portability.

Still waiting ,need updates asap

Still no updates but I am close to giving up on Plenbo following through with the Switch 2 case. No blog posts no updates not even a poll for possible features. I’m very disappointed that we have heard nothing.

My hopes were to have the new case include the battery back like the switch 1 version have magnetic attachment for the joycon portion of the case and including maybe a webcam on the case for the online play. I want at the very least the same exact G-case we had with the Switch 1 but for the Switch 2 upgraded power adapter and all but again no polls no requests no surveys. Nobody is going to wait a 3rd month with no updates.

Hoping that Plenbo will come out with an update soon.
