Any Canadian options for tempered glass screen protectors for the Switch? I see Orzly ones on Amazon.ca, but it looks like they'd take a month to arrive.

Yeah, I looked into it, no options. Put in my order. Going to use the Lower end Hori screen protector until the tempered glass comes in.

Did the exact same. Don't think anyone is stocking the glass ones up here yet.

Out of curiosity could someone with the standard retail version of Zelda post the barcode on the back? Or if possible a photo of the back cover?

Just trying to figure out whether it's identical to the one which came with the SE.

 

[ekolb123]

If anyone in Toronto wants a gray switch, let me know via pm. I ordered 2 incase 1 was stolen from my front porch.

I own both. Different barcode, different back cover.

Thanks, that's what I thought

good thing I didn't purchase a copy on Friday since I knew my SE wasn't getting delivered. Would've been stuck...

Do what I didn't do. Order it from US Amazon. It's cheaper, free shipping, no tax and will arrive faster. Unfortunately for me, my Canadian order already shipped and will take a month or so.

They removed a lot of the stuff like the esrb ratings and product info at the back which makes it look better imo. Since all those stuff's on the big box.

---------------------------

Also the tempered glass is difficult to find here as well as some of the cases such as RDS ones, you can't even pre-order it. I pre-ordered my hori slim case and a glass screen protector from amazon jp which should arrive on monday, the same day that my amazon switch will arrive.

Boooo. Why I didn't think of that? March 15-27 unlike on mine was Mar 23 to Apr 12

Dufferin Mall Walmart had 4 in stock yesterday afternoon

Oh god! I was there today and I didn't even look! I didn't go to the basement so it never even crossed my mind.

Does anybody know if you can return games to Amazon without any real reason besides "it took too long to get here"?
If my Switch gets here several days before my copy of BotW, I may just look around town and try to find a place that has a copy, then return the Amazon one.
Also, can you return just one part of an order? My copy is being shipped with Nier.

If you talk to a CSR and come up with some random but reasonable explanation, they usually do a free label for you.

Was considering the glass protector but I just double checked my dock and it has such a huge gap between the tablet and the plastic. I would have to go out of my way to scrape it along the edge to touch it. I might put felt tape instead just in case.

It isn't the plastic dock that scratches it, it is the rubber stopper.

Doh. Too late for me. Can't cancel my order anymore. Oh well.

 

[Sealtest]

And with a miracle Amazon has finally shipped my Zelda SE.

So amazon US cancelled my Master edition and Amazon Canada made sure I couldn't get it until next week.

Awesome prime membership perks.

 

[No_Style]

I see. Still a gap between the tablet's screen and the stopper on mine though. I can completely avoid touching the screen with any surface if I tilt the Switch back a bit while removing or inserting it.

If I don't come up with a fake reason, though, I can still return it, I just have to pay for the shipping?

Yep. But they practically hand out shipping labels. I assume even more so if you're Prime.

I'm not, but I might as well try, assuming I can find a copy in a store somewhere..
Thanks.

It isn't a sure thing anymore. My last order I returned was short changed for shipping. They don't do free returns anymore. I even got a csr to give me a "free" label but they still charged me 5.99 to return it.

I was told by a friend that if you select "Performance or Quality not adequate" you can get a free shipping label, but don't quote me not that, some one has to try to see if it is free.

It's true. You can use their automated reason selector to find a free shipping label option and quality is one of the reasons that will yield a free label.

Why don't you just return the copy you get from Amazon to the store you buy it from? Would be a lot easier.

You can also do some of these DIY solutions, lots of ideas in this thread. I hate being a beta tester, lol.

Well, I'm not really sure of the return policies of any of the places I might buy it from.
I live in a small town, so the only places I can think of that might carry it are a local general electronics store or a video rental place.
Of course, I'm kinda getting ahead of myself, if I haven't received my copy yet, it's possible they haven't either...

 

[CazTGG]

Got this to (partially) charge the power bank I got for the Nintendo Switch when not in use at home:

I know winter's not the best time, especially given the cloudier weather for the past few days, but I imagine it'll pair well with the Aukey 30K.

Ah, gotcha. I probably wouldn't do it either at an independent shop.

It isn't the plastic dock that scratches it, it is the rubber stopper.

I've been watching this thread since release and I must say I'm pretty skeptical about how much damage is claiming to be done from the dock.

I'm definitely erring on the side of caution when sliding it in and out, but I think it's a bit too soon for the all panic in that thread (the homemade docks, people not opening their Switches...). I'll be careful and I honestly think I'll be fine. I'd be really interested in looking at that thread in a week to see how many people are scratching their screens from the dock.

Spending $15 on a tempered glass screen protector doesn't sound too bad at all though; it's certainly worth the piece of mind and will surely help protect the screen from a lot of things.

My assumption is the scratching is happening because there was some debris on the screen when you slide it in and the pressure applied by the rubber on the debris causes the scratch

if you just make sure the screen is clean before sliding it into the dock, there shouldn't be any problem

Anyone know how long the Amazon Prime 20% discount stays for games already released? I'm playing Zelda so I don't need to have Horizon yet but it probably won't come much below $64 in the next couple of months.

2 Weeks after release, so March 13th is your last discount day.

 

[Palehorse]

So my CE from Amazon that was listed as arriving on Friday didn't get here. Of course.

I decided to pick up a regular copy from EB when I got my switch. The $40 trade in and the double credit towards switch stuff means it's a wash and I'll just buy more cons or preorder Mario.

Super happy with the game.

Was able to buy Shovel Knight Treasure Trove on the Mexican eShop for $15 CDN

Haven't played this yet, hope its good

I think some people are actually making it worse with what some people in that thread are doing.

Like putting more pressure in the screen probably isn't the smartest idea.

You're in for a treat. I don't even have nostalgia for NES-era platformers and I still loved Shovel Knight. It's a really well made game.

Is the Orzly screen protector for the Switch the best there is?

I dunno, on Friday I bought the $13 Hori one first. I applied it kind of crappy (3 air bubbles) but it's fine for now. I'll install the tempered glass in a couple months I think.

The Hori one is great quality anyway.

 

[Vamphuntr]

Are we charged taxes when buying on Origin?

Sora the air bubbles may eventually disappear. Both on my 3ds and switch i had one small bubble on the top left (coincidence?). Both went away.

Hoping for some Switch restocks this week, I'm ready to take the plunge

 

[Kyolux]

So I wonder why I was charged for Zelda U on Thursday, yet my copy was never shipped.

So for those that received their Switch, how do you like it? I've been a bit disconnected, playing Zelda (digital version) and spending some time out of town over the week-end.

 

[doctorcdcs]

I believe so?

I'm about 80% sure you are charged taxes.

Its been a while since I bought anything from Origin though.

Yup, and watch them blame Nintendo for their own self inflicted damage.
