Nintendo Switch screen scratched by dock! Don thee now thy screen protector

The fine folks at Glixel, Rolling Stone‘s relatively fresh gaming outlet, have reported a problem that virtually all Nintendo Switch owners will face. The system’s dock scratches the screen.

Here’s the word from them:

We’ve been super careful with our Switch since it arrived a little over a week ago and we’ve been keeping it nestled comfortably in one of Miguel’s giant woolen socks whenever we transport it. Unfortunately, after only a week of daily use it’s already gathering a healthy collection of little scratches in the bottom left hand corner, as you can see in the photo.

And the photo.

Get a screen protector!

Look, the portable nature of the console sort of dictates that you take some extra steps when it comes to protection. One of those? A screen protector. Get one. They’re not expensive. Here’s a pile of them on Amazon.
