Which of these protective cases also fit another device
Fit rarely carries across generations, so this lists only the exact models each product is separately documented to fit.
None of these protective cases is documented to fit any other model we cover. Treat each one as specific to Nintendo Switch Lite.
Common wrong buys
What looks like it fits Nintendo Switch Lite but does not
A dock is the classic wrong buy here. Switch Lite cannot output to a television, so a dock charges it and nothing more. Grips and cases built around detachable Joy-Con do not apply either.
These sit in the same protective cases aisle and are confirmed for a different exact model. We have no published answer saying any of them fits Nintendo Switch Lite, so treat them as unverified for this device rather than as a fit.

Coming from an older model
Why a previous-generation protective case may fail here
Switch Lite is handheld-only. The controllers are built in rather than detachable, the display is 5.5 inches, and the console has no video output at all.
Game cards and microSD cards carry over from the other Switch consoles. Nothing shaped to the console does: Switch Lite is smaller than both the original and the OLED model.
