TL;DR
Belkin unveiled the Charging Case Pro for Nintendo Switch 2 at CES 2026, retaining a 10,000mAh battery but adding an external USB‑C port and a battery status display. The redesigned pack includes an integrated adjustable stand, cartridge and accessory storage, a hidden tracker compartment, and a $30 price increase to $99.99.
What happened
At CES 2026 Belkin introduced an updated Charging Case Pro for the Nintendo Switch 2 that keeps the original model's 10,000mAh battery but changes how it's used. A front-facing USB‑C port now allows the case's internal battery to be charged while the case remains zipped shut, and a small display reports remaining battery life. Internally, the case no longer relies on the console's flip-out stand: the battery module now incorporates an adjustable stand and the Switch 2 connects to a built-in USB‑C port that supplies power when placed on the stand, similar to the console's docked connection. The pack still uses a removable battery design, and includes a flap for game cartridges, a mesh pocket for accessories, and a concealed compartment suitable for locating tags such as an AirTag or Tile. The new Pro model is priced at $99.99, up from the original $69.99, and is available now.
Why it matters

- An integrated adjustable stand removes dependence on the Switch 2’s flip-out leg, offering a docking-like connection while using the handheld.
- A battery life display provides clearer information about remaining charge compared with indicator-only designs.
- Built-in storage and a hidden tracker slot improve portability and help keep game cartridges and accessories organized.
