Joy-Con 2 attached. Interior molded for the console with Joy-Con 2 attached Joy-Con 2 attach magnetically, and a loose fit lets them shift or detach inside the case.
Rigid shell. Hard or semi-rigid shell rather than a soft sleeve The large screen is the most likely part to crack when a bag is dropped or crushed.
