Just got an update that mind is out for delivery!
Got mine today. At work though so no pictures until tonight at least. This guy on Reddit has a ton of pictures of the same one I got though;

USPS says mine was delivered. I'm stuck at work for several more hours. I'll try to post some pictures and impressions tonight.
I just received me city slicker case with the heavy strap. I really like it. The blue is very nice and dark and the strap makes it look more like a satchel and less like a purse. Dunno what else to say. Build quality seems really nice and I really like the magnetic buttons. I did not like having to press down so hard on my vita and 3ds cases that had snap buttons on them, so this is definitely a very nice change. I dig it so far. I will have to use if for a week or so to get some real impressions out there. If you don't have $80 to buy it I wouldn't feel like you are missing the world, but if you are looking for a classy looking case and you have a few extra bucks to spend then I think you will be satisfied.
Also, I really don't mind their logo on the front flap. I was one of the people who could of gone without it, but in person it is very subtle and I don't mind it at all. And I forgot to comment on how the switch fit inside- it's fits very snuggly but not enough to get me worried about the sticks. The material inside is very soft and makes me feel like it offers pretty solid protection for the system. It seems like there is enough room to fit a few extra accessories. I cannot get over these magnetic buttons ha ha. Probably one of my favorite features

If you are talking about the ac adapter, yes that will definitely fit. I'm not gonna dig it out from behind my tv at the moment but the back pocket is very spacious
I paid $150 for a wallet. Quality goes a long way
Not really the AC adapter but the portable charger. That makes it better if the ac adapter will fit on it. I'm getting more tempted.
All the powerbanks that I have used would fit in there, but I do not have a powerbank that would be able able to charge the switch while playing. So I would not be able to tell you that unfortunately.
can you take a picture of yourself wearing it as a messenger bag?
i just got my official nintendo case in and i want to know if i should return it lol
thank you!
No, that's okay. The ac adapter is thicker than the powerbank I'm planning to get. That's actually a good thing that the ac fits in it. Gives you an idea how spacious the back is.
Mine came in today. It's really nice and the leather feels amazing. And the Switch fits along with the joycons as well with just enough room for the analog sticks if people were worried about that.
It was worth the price, it just oozes well made quality.
Also got my tempered glass screen protectors and the application went smoothly.
If anybody wants more pics of the inside and what not, I'll take some and post them in this thread after work tonight.

Might ask for that for Xmas if I end up needing to travel a lot (possible)

The official case is 10.83" wide, the CitySlicker Switch is 10.5". The switch is 9,5" wide and the case needs to have room to accommodate the JoyCon analog sticks. What exactly do you want?

The red looks slick! I went brown. On the website, the blue and red looked a little too shiny to me. But your photo makes me think otherwise.
I'll be curious to see how the red leather ages.

Mine just came in!
Very happy with it, the amount of padding is great and I think it's very nice looking. On the downside my wife called it a purse and made fun of me.

Arrived promptly with the strap and a hand signed note of thanks.
Here's the blue!
Feels super premium the moment you get it in your hands. There's plenty of room in the front pocket or in the back pouch for the AC adapter.
The colors are actually darker than I expected (blue seems closer to navy or midnight) and looking at what other people here got, I kind of regret not getting the red because it's bright enough to pop without being obnoxious. Still, it makes for a classy and understated look without being outright black so I can't complain.

I just received notification from FedEx this morning on shipment from Waterfield. I'm really surprised since I missed the March 15 shipment order and slated for March 24 shipment. I'm guessing Waterfield is producing faster than expected schedule. It's my first time with their cases and I'm also getting the 3DS XL case since it's all worn down.
PS: and my Switch console and accessories are still not here yet *sobs*. What the hell Tenso?!

Yeah if I had any extra dosh lying around that'd be the case to get
Yeah, when I ordered my case last week I added one of these. It looks fantastic.
Update 7: https://youtu.be/8Ma1WGoQp0M
Seeing all those cases in production and priority boxes waiting to be shipped out, can't wait for my case to arrive Thursday! And a look at the Pro's production and the new Switch Pouch!

lol really wish they introduced that light-packer pouch 2 days ago -_-
Yeah, I like my CitySlicker, but now I'm questioning whether I would prefer the Switch Pouch instead.
Hmmmm, I wonder how much padding that pouch has. I have the cheapest case I could find on Amazon right now and I just throw that dude and my battery backup in with all the other shit in my laptop bag every day. I think I'd prefer to go as minimalist as possible but I don't want to squitch my Switch.
oh an even more minimalist option
might have to get that one, I've had bad luck with cases so far
I was going to get the City Slicker but I like the smaller Pouch. It doesn't look like you can fit a power bank or wall wart in the side pocket, though; only a pair of headphones, a game or two and a USB cable (and I'm not sure how useful that's going to be without the wart or bank).
here's the $49 Switch Pouch

and here's the $89 City Slicker

edit: misunderstood you question, euan answered it correctly. $89 is for leather, $49 is for waxed canvas or black ballistic
The $89 version is the leather material you see in the video. The rest of the materials are priced cheaper.

I honestly can't even tell that's blue. That's a lot darker than the promotions..
Nice, maybe mine will ship out sooner than April 7th.

Ordered mine almost 2 weeks ago, won't ship until April 7th though, but I'm sure it'll be worth the wait.
I orders the brown one btw, what about you guys what was your color of choice?
