Feels like an Upgrade!
As a controller is used for hours upon hours over many months, the plastic housing can become a little slick and worn. I LOVE my Switch and often use the Pro Controller when docked. My friend and I often play the Switch together and take turns using the Pro controller. The Pro controller retains a lot of heat from hands as it is passed back and forth and since the plastic housing was also beginning to feel a bit worn, I thought I’d purchase a skin for it as I have had pretty good success with controller covers/grips in the past.It came with two different sets of analog control stick grips, one short set, and one tall set. I’m using the short set (the taller set should theoretically provide more accuracy for precise aiming in FPS games).Anyhow, with a little finagling, the skin went on well. It has a good feel. It has enhanced the grip on the controller but, unexpectedly, has also made the controller feel a little heavier AND sturdier! The controller actually seems to “feel” a little higher quality. Sure, it’s all subjective, but it’s a pleasant result I had not anticipated.Anyhow, only time will judge the durability, but for the price, I’d do it again in a heartbeat!Happy Gaming!!

Nice grip but one of the joystick covers broke.
The pro cover has a nice feel, it doesn't feel cheap at all. The joystick covers have a nice feel as well but unfortunately one of them broke upon putting it on with minimal pressure. Seems like it might be a factory defect.

but at least they don’t prevent the joysticks from fully rotating like I’ve heard about the PS4 controller sleeves
I mainly bought this sleeve as a form of “shock absorber” for whenever I set the controller down because I don’t want to scratch/scuff either my furniture or the controller itself. So far, it has served its purpose well. Having said that, I wouldn’t classify this as a “protective” sleeve, in that it will protect the controller from a fall. We have a 2 year old at home who will sometimes grab the controller and drop it on the floor. Every time she does this, I’m worried that the controller may have been damaged. So far, that hasn’t happened yet, but that doesn’t mean that I attribute it to the sleeve being on the controller.The thumb grips are nothing special. They don’t add any extra grip, but at least they don’t prevent the joysticks from fully rotating like I’ve heard about the PS4 controller sleeves. The only other inconvenience is that the home, +, and - buttons are difficult to press down on because of the sleeve itself. However, considering how little I have to use those buttons, it doesn’t bother me that much.All in all, this sleeve is good for protection from everyday use.

Fit is...okay.
The fit is a little loose only around the home and + - buttons, but it will protect the actual controller from daily wear and tear. The joystick covers are nice too since my cat sometimes likes to bite at them. The bumps are hardly noticeable, and I was really concerned it was gonna be too much. I definitely think it’s over priced. I would say $10 would be more fair, but there’s not a lot of options. I’ll probably get another one if we get a second controller.

Great material, but the fit is too loose.
The skin feels very nice and has a nice grip, but the problem with it is that it’s too loose.There’s an air pocket on the bottom of the left handle, and the top middle with the home button lifts up and never goes does down. The fit isn’t snug like I thought it would be.The thumb grips are tricky to put on and they come off easily. I was playing a game that required immediate action, but the thumb grips ended up slipping off. They should stay on regardless of the type of game I’m playing.Overall, I’m disappointed. I had high hopes after looking at the reviews. I may have received a defective one, but I doubt that’s the case. The material is great, the downsides are the loose fit and the thumb grips can’t stay on.

Fits well, but...
Nice material, but when I received the package, it was all crumpled and stuffed in the bag. And when I went to stretch the other sleeve for one of the handles on to the other, you can see cracks in the silicone... it look cheep. IT WONT FIT IN A CHARGING DOCK! I wondered if it will fit in my dock for the pro controller... and it didn’t. And it was “baggy” around one of the joysticks because there was I lot of excess material...

An essential part of my pro controller now
Has a nice snug fit and feels great. It's one of those products that makes you think "why would anyone NOT want to use this?".Honestly, this makes me wonder why controllers aren't being designed with silicone on the outside by default or at least including something like this in the box.My only beef is it can be a little tricky getting it on and off without stretching it more than I'd like to, but I figured it out and it's not too bad.I also think the included thumbstick caps are very high quality but for me personally they changed the response of the stick too much due to their size. This could be desirable in some instances (like aiming in FPS) but for Smash Bros (and most games) I prefer Skull & Co. caps. That said, these ones are still VERY good.Overall this is definitely a worthy buy and most definitely worth trying for anyone wanting to increase comfort and grip on their Switch pro controller. 👍

DUDE!
DUDE! Duuuuuuuude! I would pay 20 bucks for the raised thumb grips alone. Very very very nice! The texture and quality of the rubber on the thumb grips is tops. If you've been gaming for a long time you eventually develop specific preferences, nuances and details for your controller. I have a feeling that 'Foamy Lizard' is comprised of gamers. The fit and material of the controller grip is perfect. It hugs an already excellent Nintendo Switch Pro Controller and makes it even better. This is not some janky thrown together cheap skin, it has a tailored quality fit. I love the little details like the raised 'Foamy Lizard' logo at the bottom of the skin between the d-pad and right thumb stick. Highly recommended!
