PDP Nintendo Switch Joy-Con Gel Guards

You want that protection and heft the Nintendo Switch Joy-Con Gel Guards provide. The Joy-Cons are incredibly small, sometimes making them difficult to hold when playing with a friend. The added bulk and grippy texture of the Gel Guards keep the Joy-Cons firmly in your palms. You won't care if someone drops your Joy-Cons because you know they're safe.

A new set of Joy-Cons cost $79.99. For comparison, that's $20 more than controllers for other platforms. Nintendo Switch games cost $59.99, $20 less than what a set of Joy-Cons costs to replace. If you buy these and something goes wrong, you could save yourself from buying new Joy-Cons instead of a new game. At $7.99, these Gel Guards are a relative bargain.
