Great, so you're telling me I gotta buy a separate stand as well?

Nope, another Switch so use the kickstand of the second switch to help the first switch to stand correctly! All while you stick it into the dock!

That's pure genius, why didn't I think of that before?! Brb, going to buy another switch.

Saw reports on screen scratched from using the dock. You have been warned!

So it's not made of glass? Is it plastic?

Yeah, I got another one, forgot the brand, but it's gotten more positive reviews. Hori needs to step up their game, I'd ask for a refund.

I guess I will do that, ask for refund. I noticed that it's peeling more when it gets hot from running on the dock ...

Just ordered a screen protector (not the Hori brand, that's been getting really bad reviews), I'll be careful till it ships next week

Yeah, I used the Hori one. It's not peeling or anything, but it's getting some pretty bad scratches from just the cleaning cloth.

CNET... The only company that intentionally breaks a kickstand..

Well they didn't break it. At least not in the video.

They snapped it off.. Guess not broken.

I recommend not dunking your Switch. Be gentle and/or put some microfiber strips on the screen side inside of the dock (the two plastic protrusions are toward the bezel, not the screen itself).

I've been gentle when placing in the game cards and as soon as the screen protector arrives I'll be applying it! The dock leaves a bit too much room which makes it flimsy a tad.

Never used a screen protector with a iPhone, no scratch on any of the 4 that I have owned.

You do realize glass (which the iPhones use) and plastic (Which the Switch and all Nintendo products use) have different scratch tolerances, right? Plastic scratches hella easy, as opposed to glass.

I'd still get another one if you can, so much for Hori's good reputation on screen protectors.

For awhile the Nintendo console that have a screen have had a clamshell design which keeps them from getting damaged. I never had problems with scratches on my clamshell-style devices.

I have a whole bunch of tiny scratches on my DS Lites - just from the bundled stylus being used on the bottom screen. Easy to see when the screen is off. Plastic resistive screens scratch easily. It doesn't bother me to see small scratches; I consider the microscratches to be a 'natural' characteristic of these screens & it still isn't enough for me to want to put a screen protector on any of them.

To think that these problems would be solved if they just added another one to the opposite side, or just shifted it over more towards the center. It's like no one on their development team had any concept of physics.

Zagg but it's not cheap. If they don't have a template the kiosk at the mall can make a custom one.

Hmm I'm not quite sure, but I opted to get the ones by Orzly. They're based in the UK, and quality wise, they're usually good enough.

Wonder if a little strip of electrical tape around those grooves would do the trick.

I bought tempered glass for 2 euro and i let a Phone shop cut it out properly so now i have a glass protector on my switch for around 5 - 6 euro's.
