Pre-order cancelled!

This is like the vertical stand for the PS5 or the wrist straps on a wiimote. ->trash. Danger is the spice of life.
 
As sure as people licked Switch game cards because Nintendo made them icky, you can sure as shit believe people will peel that layer off just because Nintendo said not to do it.

How do you even accidentally remove this? If it would be something I can easily remove with my fingernail, I would definitely rip it off of course, but this? Nah. Them releasing this advice makes it more confusing, not less.

Congrats, now article is making dummies(like dsp) think its for actual screen protection so no need for tempered glass

Ah.....no, not the same thing I've seen before at all. I could pull it up with my fingernail. If this is what you were talking about Seomel Seomel then I get it now.

This is what it is. Its specisl layer to protect as described in case screen cracks so shards dont go anywhere in 1000 pieces. As you see its not something person should even notice or be able to take off. You can and still should use tempered glass on top of it
 
This should be a note with a big warning sign attached inside the box, not some yt video or just another page of the user's manual. It's perfectly understandable if someone doesn't follow current screen layer trends and the natural reaction would be to peel it off before using the device.

Remember, we live in the times when people have to be reminded to open the box (and then throw it out) before starting to eat pizza. ;)

Yeah, this isn't a screen protector. People shouldn't be tweaker picking at it. Just buy a 4pk of tempered glass protectors with an alignment frame for $8, slap one on there, and call it a day.

Why don't they just use gorilla glass or something?

Edit: Right, that would cost them money.

Ok so it's on there like that. Yeah I wouldn't even think to try and peel that. My mind immediately thought of the shitty way the OG galaxy fold had its top layer where you could just get it with your fingernail.

If you are not using 400w heat gun like guy in video did, that probably never will become problem for you

Great! I was thinking this is some visable layer of protection. Seems some people just want to ruin new things.
 
With kids these sticking shit into their Chromebooks at school and causing their laptops to blowup, I'm not surprised this warning has to be given cause you just know someone will start a "Peel the layer off your Switch 2 TikTok Challenge".
