My right joycon wiggles unlike everybody else in this thread, but I have a neon switch ��
I would only send it in if it bothers you.
It looks like something not immediately noticeable.
docks are another story. I think most docks are slightly bentMine is bent just a little. I have a glass screen protector but I'm trying this anyway:

If the bend is very slight as pictured and it's not causing any kind of problem, who gives a shit? I would never go through the hassle of an exchange for such a mild defect.
EDIT - With my luck I'd get one back with dead pixels or some other far worse issue.
I mean, I paid $450 CAD for this. I would want a near perfect console for that amount of money I used.
That mild bend is near perfect unless it causes some other issue, IMO. But my experiences have shaped my attitudes and curbed my drive for product perfection.
I always tended to demand perfect, pristine products until I spent years looking for a perfect TV which cost a lot more money than this, exchanging and exchanging looking for one with no flaws since I was spending so much money. I finally realized that perfect 65"-55" TV doesn't exist or at least I was never going to be lucky enough to find one. Often I exchanged units with minor flaws for new ones with different but worse flaws and sometimes regretted it. I finally learned to just live with a few flaws that don't impact my use of the product.
Hopefully your replacement unit will not suffer from the same or some other issue. Good luck!
Can u slap a leveling tool on it? iOS compass comes with a level.
Yeah, there are other problems with it like a very loose kickstand and some loose joycons (plus getting the syncing issues with them). I'd probably wait a few months to replace it so that Nintendo gets their first shipment issues sorted out
Will do once I get the chance
Thanks to you I'm reading every single post in here in an entirely different light.
You might just have made this the funniest thread in a while for me.
I'm very easily amused.
Whelp...
What a piece of crap
I posted this several pages back, but looks like the same issue here with my switch.
Mines bent also, I've played mostly in docked mode. I wonder if the heat is causing it to warp.
Mine is bent too but I didn't notice until I was looking for it.

Is not about the dock. I used the hori stand and a usb cable extender to avoid using the craptastic dock included by nintendo and my switch is bet, no too much to be noticeable but sure is bent.
Yeah, without pictures of that same person's switch out of the box, it is hard to say anything.
Mine has a slight curve, I guess? I don't know whether it is a defect or within standard production variation.
Fuck. Just did the ruler test.
Mine is bent.
Just checked mine. There's some separation between the front, and back plastic, around the volume rocker.
This sucks!
Posted in the other thread for this but my Switch is also bent. I don't believe it was from being docked though, it's just the way it is I think.
I bought it from Amazon Warehouse meaning it's possible it had prior use to me owning it, though I don't really think that's the case.
Mine too is slightly bent. However, I first noticed it a least a week ago, but assumed it was either part of the deign or "manufacturing variation." Until we see someone document a fresh, out of the box switch warping over time due to the heat, I'm going to assume the bend is most likely due to the same rushed manufacturing timeline that likely lead to the bent docks. As long as this issue doesn't brick the system, or continue to worsen to the point of making the Swirch uncomfortable to hold or make it difficult to put the system in and out of the dock, I doubt this will become an issue for most people.
But I must say, as much as I love the Switch as a concept and a thing I use almost daily, the number of hardware issues are starting to really stack up. The joycon connectivity issue (supposedly fixed now), bent docks and scratched systems, and now possibly this warping issue. Hell, my joycons are even getting a little loose and creaky. Really hope Nintendo gets this stuff sorted out before these issues start to penetrate to the casual audience and tarnish the systems reputation before it gets a real foothold in the market and more developer support.
Really, really glad I bought a replacement plan from Best Buy.
I've been using mine for about a week, 90% of the time docked.
There's virtually no gap (less than a millimeter on the right) between the ruler and the console. Compared to other pictures of curved switches at similar angles I think I can assume this one is as straight as possible.
My hypothesis is that bending is yet another manufacturing defect and some are coming out of the box already bent.
