Made with sturdy ABS plastic, the Flip Grip holds your Switch screen securely in place, with a release tab on the back allowing you to remove your system when required. Your Joy-Con controllers slot into the side of the grip, essentially making it seem like the Switch&#8217;s screen has turned around in your hands, allowing for portable, on-the-go play with a vertical setup.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"gallery\">\n<div class=\"col\"><a href=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/news\/2018\/06\/the_flip_grip_is_a_vertical_grip_accessory_for_your_switch_now_funding_on_kickstarter\/attachment\/1\/original.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/news\/2018\/06\/the_flip_grip_is_a_vertical_grip_accessory_for_your_switch_now_funding_on_kickstarter\/attachment\/1\/445x245.jpg\" width=\"445\" height=\"245\" alt=\"Flip Grip with Switch Front.png\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/news\/2018\/06\/the_flip_grip_is_a_vertical_grip_accessory_for_your_switch_now_funding_on_kickstarter\/attachment\/2\/original.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/news\/2018\/06\/the_flip_grip_is_a_vertical_grip_accessory_for_your_switch_now_funding_on_kickstarter\/attachment\/2\/445x245.jpg\" width=\"445\" height=\"245\" alt=\"Flip Grip.png\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"col\"><a href=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/news\/2018\/06\/the_flip_grip_is_a_vertical_grip_accessory_for_your_switch_now_funding_on_kickstarter\/attachment\/3\/original.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/news\/2018\/06\/the_flip_grip_is_a_vertical_grip_accessory_for_your_switch_now_funding_on_kickstarter\/attachment\/3\/445x245.jpg\" width=\"445\" height=\"245\" alt=\"Flip Grip Model View.png\" \/><\/a><a href=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/news\/2018\/06\/the_flip_grip_is_a_vertical_grip_accessory_for_your_switch_now_funding_on_kickstarter\/attachment\/4\/original.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/news\/2018\/06\/the_flip_grip_is_a_vertical_grip_accessory_for_your_switch_now_funding_on_kickstarter\/attachment\/4\/445x245.jpg\" width=\"445\" height=\"245\" alt=\"Flip Grip with Switch Iso.png\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p>The\u00a0accessory has been prototyped and refined extensively over the past eight months, and is now hoping to generate the funding it needs through its <a class=\"external\" href=\"https:\/\/www.kickstarter.com\/projects\/fangamer\/1921096247?ref=517959&amp;token=b02317deA\">Kickstarter campaign<\/a>\u00a0(which should be live very soon).\u00a0If successful, production is set to begin immediately, with the intent of having Flip Grips in backers&#8217; hands by October or November.<\/p>\n<p><em>Do you like the look of the Flip\u00a0Grip?
