The Social Reckoning is flopping at the box office

The $49 Basecase from Mechanism is a snap-on shell for the console that taps into the company's modular lineup of mounts. You could already mount the Switch 2 in numerous ways with its $19 Basegrip (to your wall, to its Gaming Pillow, to a monitor arm, etc.). The difference is that this new product protects your console, makes its Joy-Con more comfortable to use, and has some interesting modularity. The console shell allows for the full range of the Switch 2's kickstand, and access to all of t … Read the full story at The Verge.
