Huh.... interesting. I guess the glass is not rigid enough on the Switch (larger surface area) vs. many smartphones and smaller devices.Mine does have glass screen protection since it was flat, it was no help.
Brings me to question did you sit on your bent dock?It's obviously a defect of a select few consoles or people are sitting on them, mines been mostly docked since launch and it's in perfect condition. Get an RMA.
Brings me to question did you notice the word "or" in my sentence.Brings me to question did you sit on your bent dock?
There have been a few. More reports of the screen ungluing though yet nobody is mentioning that on gbatemp lol.Their hasn't been any official reports anywhere else since except for people resharing his faked photos.

Yup, screen starts peeling up.Wait, what? That's a thing? Ungluing, like coming off?
Got a link to that Eurogamer article? I haven't seen them mention it was faked.The first person whom claimed their switch was bending and was warped, admitted he lied. Only after euro gamer proved he photo shopped his photo. Their hasn't been any official reports anywhere else since except for people resharing his faked photos.
I have had two laptops that constantly over heated during the summer months and they never once, warpped or became deformed, even with constant usage. Those laptops were slightly thinner then the switch. the switch has a better and bigger vent and fan then those cheap things i used to own. So do I believe switches are becoming deformed?, no I certainly do not. I would believe they would have a higher chance of their batteries exploding then bending and warping.
It could be caused by other issues like a malfunctioning cooling fan.It's possible that it's really a manufacturing defect causing some Switches to get excessively hot causing the bending. I just hope it doesn't turn out to be a widespread problem.
in general batteries are rigorously tested so it should be near impossible for that to happen
Yeah. I haven't heard my fan turn on even once so hopefully it's just that silent and isn't simply broken.It could be caused by other issues like a malfunctioning cooling fan.
That's the exception, not the rule. From what I heard it was caused by them not leaving enough room for the battery to expand from heat (because of how every new phone these days has to be thinner and better than the previous model) so it was a fundamental design flaw. The Switch however seems to have plenty of room, the battery is held in by foam which will contract if needed. I do kind of worry about batteries exploding though, not just because of that event but because it happens sometimes to any device. Luckily I'm just as likely to win the lottery as that happening to me, and I'm probably never gonna win the lotterySamsung Note 7 says hi.
Batteries were defective, second wave of replacement batteries were also defective.From what I heard it was caused by them not leaving enough room for the battery to expand from heat (because of how every new phone these days has to be thinner and better than the previous model) so it was a fundamental design flaw.
I've heard that story too. But in the end I heard that it wasn't the batteries that were at fault after all (that's why they just pulled the Note 7 altogether), it was that there wasn't enough room for the natural expansion of the batteries.Batteries were defective, second wave of replacement batteries were also defective.

It's disappointing how there's still people here who think this isn't a real issue and that it doesn't exist. I.e., "It didn't happen to me so it must be fake!" Christ.
I'm not so worried about the screen peeling up, more worried about the bending. If my screen peels up it's easy enough to get it replaced, but if it starts bending I'll actually worry about safety.It's disappointing how there's still people here who think this isn't a real issue and that it doesn't exist.

brb gonna break my console so that i can properly answer this poleDoes it bend? Probably. Do I want to try? No.
