I've been using these consistently for a month or so, switching out from a silicone case that covered the entire switch. I purchased these because the silicone case, while extremely comfortable and offering great protection doesn't fit in my carry case and also cannot be docked.
I'm going to write a list of pros and cons:
Pros:
* The JoyCon grips feel to be made from the same plastic as the JoyCons so feel pretty durable.
* Decent protection for the back and side your JoyCons.
* The supplied thumb grips are excellent, literally the best things in the box.
* They fit into my case while attached.
* Dockable!.
Cons:
* They aren't very well shaped or comfortable. I'd go so far as to say these are profoundly uncomfortable! Much less comfortable than even the naked JoyCons.
* They feel a little loose and that they might slip off causing the switch to fall (This hasn't happened or even come close, but they don't FEEL safe.)
* My silicone switch cover just feels much better!
* Price - these are far more expensive compared to more comfortable and cheaper alternatives.
So overall more pros than cons, but the discomfort of using these is a deal breaker for me. I can't play video games for hours on end with this level of discomfort.I reckon I'll stop using these soon and go back to my more comfortable, but unfortunately un-dockable and not carry case friendly silicone cover!
