Is the hori supposed to take the grips like that? I have that case but I'd be happy to live without the grips (or just throw them in my bag separately) in return for a slimmer case protecting just the switch
Well, the Hori does have that bit extra headroom anyways - because the console sits in the bottom 'shell', yet needs some extra room for the analog sticks.
i suppose the PDP 'premium cases' would be slimmer, but they also seem way less sturdy / protective of the console. - especially with regards to corner impact.
The whole thing's only 4cm (1.5 inches) thick anyways. I don't feel like you could trim all that much thickness without sacrificing protective qualities :/
