Wut ? It looks chewed by a little dog !

What is the quality of the joycons if something simple as adhesive will ruin the finish? Seems like low quality plastic to me.

so what about the legend of zelda skin from nintendo

 

[Seliph]

I was considering buying a skin, glad I didn't

Nintendo has some official skins for the switch too..... This won't end well for them.

Sure it will. Special Editions Galore.

Sure it will. Special Editions Galore.

I mean they are likely going to have to replace a ton of people's consoles. They have OFFICIAL skins out. If they chew through the console like this, they are going to be liable.

Wow~ adhesives leave damages. I've never seen that before

 

[Pokem]

It's not the plastic breaking but rather the coating, just saying...

I did post it, but I went unnoticed. FUUUU
On topic; What about the official Switch skins? Do those have a secret Switch-safe adhesive that prevents them from leaving damage or something?

It's still damage.

Seriously, I don't get why people are posting this like it's something new or exclusive to the Switch .-.

Depends on the adhesive used as much as the plastic or finish. As someone else suggested, if the 'official' skins Nintendo is selling do this, then they've got a real problem. But if only 3rd party unlicensed skins do this, you've got a problem. If'n you know what I'm sayin'.
