This is why you need a Nintendo Switch screen protector

The Nintendo Switch screen is made of plastic, not glass. That means it's extremely easy to scratch with the dock.

I have tempered glass on the way but in the meantime I will keep it out of the dock.

deafdani3375d ago

Yeah, I bought a tempered glass screen protector as well. Very likely the same one you bought. Lol.

Ha. Plastic?? That's why I need to save my money by not buying a switch.

Utalkin2me3375d ago (Edited 3375d ago )

I swear to god, Nintendo is such behind times its not even funny anymore....I just dont even understand

deafdani3375d ago

PS Vita also has a plastic screen and I never saw a single article or comment saying anything negative about that. These haters... SMH

JEECE3375d ago

@Deafdani

The Vita has been out for over five years. Plus most people don't have them and have never used them.

Utalkin2me3375d ago

@deafdani

I never used a case and mine never got s single scratch on it. Unlike, the switch docking and undocking getting scratched up. Thats why you didnt see anyone complain about the vita.

deafdani3375d ago

The PS Vita screen is also made of plastic. Did you give Sony shit for that as well?

JEECE3375d ago

Lol think about how many people have actually used a vita. Most people are comparing it to phone or tablet screens, since they've actually used those devices. Not everything is a comparison to PlayStation.

That being said, I don't see the issue as long as you get a screen protector to stop scratches.

G20WLY3375d ago

Sony weren't asking you to pump the Vita in and out of a sharp, cheaply made plastic dock repeatedly though, to be fair.

mixelon3375d ago

I would have done but I take full responsibility for the scratches on my vita screen.

Vitas screen scratches insanely easily, was quite upsetting. :(

I wouldn't use the switch at all without a protector.

XStation4pio_Pro3375d ago

@deafdani

The vita is old. Any modern mobile device uses glass. Smartphones, tablets etc. why? More scratch resistant, better input accuracy, better clarity, longer lasting.

Vegamyster3375d ago (Edited 3375d ago )

I ordered a $10 tempered glass protector before i knew about this like my other portable devices but that's a pretty ridiculous oversight/design flaw, they should be sending every owner some kind on protection for inside the dock or a free protector.

deafdani3375d ago

Yeah, I agree. This is an incredibly stupid design oversight. Then again, Nintendo loves to do these... remember the original 3DS having one screen bezel scratching the other? Ugh. Mine's still got that mark...

Vegamyster3375d ago

Yup, after a couple months i did notice those bezel scratches on the original model.

Takato_Mon3375d ago

Would be nice if they included the screen protector but basically, it forces the consumer to buy more accessories to it. More money to waste....

G20WLY3375d ago

There are LOADS of hidden costs on Switch and even then there are still problems you can't fix by throwing money at alone. It's sad. They're a wealthy company with a lot of knowledge and experience. It's disrespectful to consumers at this stage.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle36d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
