Hardware Dock Mod to Prevent Screen Scratches.

[da1e85]

Not even sure if it scratches the screen, nobody has provided any proof to the fact...

Mine hasn't scratched I have a screen protector on and it hasn't even marked that

 

[Saiyan Lusitano]

i have applied a screen protector for now, i would like to ask whether the dock scratches anything else other than the screen or not ?

Is it a thin screen protector or a tempered one?

Damage control.

Overblown viral media. 50% of them aren't defective, but I digress. Tempered glass.

It's how careful one places but even those are bound to get scuffs or scratches unwillingly. Nintendo should have used glass than plastic.

Damage control.

Not a chance, if there was physical damage being done by the dock there would be pictures everywhere... I have yet to see even one single picture, other than that article that came out with the gouges that started this whole movement.

Lies. You're just not looking for it and then pretend there's not "one single picture" available.

Comparing a Switch to a car. Pff.

Exactly. A tempered screen protector from eBay is super cheap.

Got one from AmFilm, 4.5 stars, the "licensed premium" one, 1.5 stars lol.

 

[Saiyan Lusitano]

You keep bringing that up lolz.

Childish. The mere fact you think the Dock doesn't screen the Switch shows how naive you are.

The cover for the Switch only covers the screen itself while leaves the Joy-Cons unprotected, as advertised. Not ideal, tbh. As for the tempered glass screen protectors, they're ultimately all the same thing but advertised differently to grab the customer's attention and buy from them.

It's not even scratched? You didn't even watch the video! I don't know why I'm trying to reason with you since you're going always against. I'm trying to help you out here considering you think Switch units don't get scratched and you end up being rude and arrogant calling me the troll when you're the one being bias constantly.

It's confirmed the dock scratches. You need to be super careful putting it in. I have gettomodded one side with doublesided tape that have a microfiber strip over it (cut it to strips from a microfiber cloth)

The Switch is an absolutely fantastic concept for a console/handheld but Nintendo did admittedly rush it out. OS while great is missing some features and the Dock Station feels like it's a beta product than intended for retail use.

Blunty also scratched his Switch accidentally on the dock and he's not the guy to ruin his gadgets because he too takes good care of it. It's a bummer that people's Switch units may have scratched but thankfully, tempered screen protectors on eBay are very cheap and do the job just as the pricier ones on Amazon.

Confirmed by who and adding extra stuff to the rails makes the fit even tighter which would make it more susceptible to scratching if you was to get dust build up within the dock which is inevitable

Damage control.

just thin normal cheap plastic one (came with the official nintendo pouch/case).
i will buy a tempered one sometime soon.

 

[duffmmann]

The dock is a flimsy piece of plastic so it can get scratched at any moment. A matter of luck.

But there is so much space between the dock and the screen of the system when its in there. I mean you have to purposely be throwing the dock in there without care for it to slide up against it. This "issue" is one that I simply don't get.

Feast your eyes on my beautiful MOD!

I've used a pelt to protect the sides.

Beautiful isn't it?

Not really. One can try to be as careful as possible but without a screen protector on it it can and is bound to get scratches/scuffs on it. Nintendo really needs to release a proper Dock Station 'cause this thing is nothing more than a beta version.

What do you think of Velcro inside the Dock?
