Hmm as someone suggested earlier, I used on of the bag things it comes in, to slide over the front of the doc to protect it. it is a very tight fit so seems like it wont harm anything.
Anybody think of why this would be a bad idea? The bag there can hurt anything can it? I'm thinking like heat problems or something? Obviously it looks dumb as hell but should protect it fine
Seems kinda silly but this is what I did for now:
It's tighter, but we will see. It should be less abrasive on the screen.
Haha I might as well have done the same thing instead I cut the bags to size and taped two pieces to the ridges on the interior.
I hope it works alright too.
Personally I'm worried about the tight fit. The padding is better than plastic but it adds more friction in general.
I heard/read it was best to get a good glass screen protector and not those shitty plastic film ones that leave air bubbles on the screen?
(I have one like that for Vita and thankfully there's no bubbles where the screen actually is, but still...)
Can't you charge the system without using the dock?
Hopefully this problem may be solved by the time Splatoon 2 releases so I can buy a Switch without worrying about this...
:/
Mine fits pretty good, doesn't really make it any tighter, the other bag seems thicker, but I think the one I used was just for the switch screen and its a bit thinner, so it fights almost exactly.
Such an awesome device, its incredible how they botched this part of it.
That's the same brand I bought, it came today.First thing I did was put a glass protector on it. The amfilm protectors on Amazon fit really well and come in a two pack so you'll have a spare.

It appears when the switch is docked and begins to heat up the screen protector begins to peel away from the screen. It may have not been designed to accommodate a screen protector. Unfortunately I was among the guinea pigs in this experiment.
It applied nicely at first but now is littered with air bubbles. Save your 20 bucks and just take care of it. Mines going in the garbage can.
I'm reading some amazon reviews about screen protectors...
For the love of god, you can have cheap plastic capacitive screens.
Hmm maybe I'll swap it out for that one.
EDIT: lol I did use the one for the Switch screen.
So what the fuck is it - glass or plastic?
It's definitely glass.
Definitely plastic.

First the former and then the latter.The screen protector or the Switch is going in the garbage can?
Well, I guess I'm waiting for a system revision from Ninty.
We hear every day from our passionate fans just how much they love the new system, how innovative it is and just how much they are enjoying huge hits like breath of the wild and 1-2 switch.
Its been such a successful launch all around the world that fans are passionately asking for more switch hardware news already.
We hear that the fans want a better way to protect such a beautiful piece of hardware.
And at this years e3 we will be showcasing some brand new screen protectors and brand new docking stations based around some our most popular franchises such as mario and zelda.
You can see them first at this years e3 and they will launch soon after, this holiday 2017.

The problem is the inside of the stand has plastic ridges, instead of like a soft bumper, cause apparently Nintendo are fucking dumb.
How do you fuck that up?
Something that is going to slide in and out constantly and you make that shit plastic???
This is what I did, covered the whole side the screen will be facing just in caseSeems kinda silly but this is what I did for now:
It's tighter, but we will see. It should be less abrasive on the screen.
I cant think of any reason why the dock covers the screen. I bought a screen protector and failed putting it on and i am now at a point id rather take the risk of not having one
With all the little problems adding up, I'm glad I didn't pick up a Switch on launch unlike the last two Nintendo systems. Nintendo products used to be the paragon of build quality and reliability in the past, but with the various issues between 3Ds and Switch, it seems they've lost their way. It's a damned shame, particularly as these issues really didn't have to exist.
I'm kind of getting tired of comments like this everywhere. There is literally a thread called "why didn't you buy a Switch". You belong in there if you don't have anything constructive to add to this thread.
instead of modifying the dock, why not just get a screen protector
Just did this, thanks.Seems kinda silly but this is what I did for now:

Reggie?
Ghetto solution
I draped a microfiber cloth over the edge and into the stand for now. Might look at a more elegant solution later.

The screen protectors will end up being scratched up and you're pretty much looking at the same thing. The dock needs to be redesigned to avoid scratching anything.

Screen protectors are a bitch to put on and air bubbles suck.instead of modifying the dock, why not just get a screen protector
Yeah, these negative posts make it harder to ignore buyers remorse.
Nope. Zero buyer's remorse here and no scratched screen either. Nice try though.

I really don't understand why they sandwiched the Switch in between two pieces of plastic buns. Why not just have it dock without the buns?
How many times have you docked it?
