So for anyone that has a Switch, do you use a screen protector at all? My Switch is arriving tomorrow and am wondering if a screen protector is necessary, and if so which one(s) would you recommend?

I don't use one, because simply I'm not an idiot. I know it is quite easy to scratch screens on any device, but as long as you carry your switch in a case, keep it docked when not in use, and play it with a firm grip you should be fine. I would recommend getting a dock sock though, and they are 10$ on Etsy

I bought a screen protector and it was a complete waste of money because it had tons of bubbles and wouldn't stick on flatly. I ended up throwing it out and my Switch screen is completely fine, not a single scratch. People who tell you the screen protector is necessary are just trying to scam you.

My dock has scratched my orzly glass screen protector, but my friend doesn't have one and his is fine.

My dock is bent.

Im using hori one and yea its worth using.

So I'd assume a dock sock would be a better idea then.

No, why would I need one?

While we're on the subject of useless accessories, don't waste your money on a pro controller either. The D-Pad is hilariously awful and not worth using.

I ordered the 6.99 one off amazon with the highest reviews. Will be apply it friday. Tempered glass is amazing

I use a HORI one. It took a scratch from the dock so my actual screen didn't have to.

>drop switch
>screen cracks
Its going to happen eventually user

I got a freebie screen protector with a case I bought and my dock has scratched the bezels of the screen. Glad I had the screen protector. It was a cheap ass plastic protector, though. The scratches are really noticeable after 3 months.

I use mine 100% handheld.

So i have a screen protector and a silicone case on like my iphone.

No, unless you can find one that won't attract dust

Pro Controller has the best analogs on the market though. Get it if you feel like the joycon analogs bother you

They made it plastic so the screen won't crack, and if it were to crack no screen protector could prevent it.

I bought a tempered glass screen protector on a sale and I think it was a great purchase. Can't even tell that it's there.

Also got a nice little carrying case with cartridge pouches.

It's cheap, easy to use, and it's made specifically for Switch, and you get two in one pack. It says it's anti-fingerprint, but that's a lie.

>dock sock costs $10
>Screen protector costs $10 and comes with two
Are you retarded? You don't even have to bother being an autistic retard with "dock socks" and you can do whatever you want.
Learn to apply applications.

You can certainly scratch it/crack it

Mine has not gotten dusty, so I am unsure what you are getting at

Yes

This is what I got. It's pretty great. Not exactly anti fingerprint but it's super discrete, can't tell it's there, and it comes with a cleaning cloth and a whole screen cleaning package.

I don't see how it is autistic, unless you really take your dock outside your house user? It's just a piece of fabric no need to shit yourself when you see one

I was guessing that a dusty dock sock would be able to scratch the screen by itself. I may have the wrong interpretation of what a dock sock is

Scratch, yes, but cracking a switch screen would be very difficult. Check the video in

I oftenly use a screen protector for my consoles and phones.

It's never mandatory but I'd say that for the Switch it's recomended since the screen is made in soft plastic instead of glass and that there are issues with some faulty docks apparently scratching the screen.

Best technique to apply screen protector is to do it in a room full of "steam". It's not a joke, some user told me that on another thread and since I use this technique it works flawlessly everytime.
First go to your bathroom, close doors and windows, and let the hot water runs for a like 2 minutes. Stop when there is steam on your mirror. Then clean your screen with a soft cloth and when the screen is perfectly clean, apply the screen protector. Chase away the few bubbles with a a credit card or something.

So the generally idea is that a screen protector is better over a dock sock.

Yeah I was looking at that, I think I'll get it. Thanks.

Well you can't use a dock sock when on the go, so I don't see a reason to use that over a screen protector in the first place.

Actually, what i did was for mine was, i used the material it came wrapped in. All i did was cut it to fit the size of my dock so i can slide it in and out with no problems whatsoever. I can post a pic if you (any of you for that matter) would like to see it.

I have this one. Works great, the tempered glass feels way better than the plastic touch screen.

Got this one too. Cheap, two pack, works fine. You can't tell it's there, which I count as a big positive when it comes to shit like screen protectors.

Screen protectors are for cringeworthy retards. If the dock scratches your screen through no fault of your own just yell at nintendo customer service to replace it. If you scratch your screen then you are an even bigger retard for not taking proper precautions and using a case.

I've had my Switch 2 months now and have not seen a single scratch, although tbqh I rarely use the dock and am extra careful when I do.

I don't have any scratches either but having a screen protector gives me an extra little sense of security whenever I mandhandedly dock the switch
