I'm the nut that spent 70 dollars on a case because I wanted the sheikah slate one lol but of COURSE it's portable. I had a baby this past August. Had to get induced at the hospital because she didn't wanna come out. So I say there for hours waiting for labor to start - the switch came to the rescue!!! My husband and I played 1-2 switch even with the IV attached to my playing hand.....all the nurses wanted to join!
