Drop the junior snobbery, it's beyond pathetic.
Sliding the Switch in and out of the dock will inevitably scratch the screen

Yeah, it is one thing I don't understand, It doesn't look like a scratch of something that slided in and out.
Just jumped into this shitstorm. I'm not too concerned as I feel like this issue may be overblown, but are there any other reports of this happening? With proof, rather, I'm gonna get a screen protector eventually; but I'm not tryna fly off the handles and grab one this instant.
A little unusual if this was the case, hope it's not an 'inevitable' situation.

He posted something saying retards earlier but I guess he edited it out / another mod deleted it, so I'm pretty sure you're right.

You have to remember that the console just got released today and the people in this thread are cautious about it already.

And?
I did nothing of the sort. Please get your facts straight.
It was mentioned off-hand in a video review I watched, but can't remember where I watched it. She said after a week it was already scratched due to the docking, but not over the screen area.

It is odd. How do you get curved scratches moving it in and out of a dock where it only goes in vertically?
Also the little guides on the right and left sides don't have hard edges that make contact with the switch.. it's a flat surface.
That said it should have been a softer plastic for the dock internals, especially the guides that run on the right and left sides.
When I dock it I have the rear panel leaning against the back of the dock for sure.
That's why the 3DS screen was very prone to scratches. Even mine has a lot of micro scratches that can be seen in bright light.
he had that response typed out in word ready to copy/paste for weeks now, lol

Seriously Nintendo? How did you not solve or lookout for this problem.
Pebble Time Steel (at least) is using Gorilla Glass and is insanely scratch-prone...
Not because of Gorilla Glass, but because to improve the transparency, they had to add a non-reflective layer, and this layer is destroyed at the slightest "abuse".
Back on OP story, I find the shape of the scratches strange for damages because of insertion... But I'll see by myself tomorrow.

At the same time being a little skeptical of an issue isn't a defense Force. Those scratches are not uniform in direction or location. The 3ds scratching issue happened the same way repeatedly, which is what should be happening here because the console only goes in the dock one way.

lmao. give but you can't take.
Lmao, I like how the OP was "once I beat Zelda I'll trade it..." haha wow... someone people get super defensive irrationally.
I was gonna buy one locally, but they are all BigBen, a brand to steer clear of in any circumstance.

Probably wont fix it. After wide reports of the 3ds scratching screens, The new 3ds did the same .

900p sure is more taxing, namely 1.875 times the pixels. Fortunately, GPU docked clock is twice higher than undocked.

I only want a glass screen protector, but I'm not seeing one at GameStop or Best Buy. Those plastic ones are junk.
I thought I read in the early previews that there was some sort of padding? I never inspected my dock, but I can imagine there being an issue with scratching.

I know people and I've seen dozens of strangers on the bus using smartphones with cracked screens. I'm sure you do too so maybe ask one of those people? It isn't exactly an uncommon sight.
Your explanation makes sense. It's definitely weird.
I've owned 5 smart phones over the years. I can count on one hand how many times I dropped them all combined. None have ever shattered but as careful as I am they have dropped on me. Accidents happen.

Can Nintendo please design hardware that doesn't feel cheap for once?

Or they pushed more things on screen/upped the IQ additionally in docked mode. Either way, claiming that 'switch drops frames when in docked mode because insufficiently higher clocks' is as ridiculous a claim to make without a profiling tool as they come.
Is that what BoTW renders at? Otherwise 1920x900 is 1.875x 1280x720.

My phone has a crack line half the size of my screen. It's on tempered glass though so it's not really that bad. I never bothered changing it though since it hasn't affected my daily use and I can't feel the cracks themselves. They kinda get in the way of watching a video though sometimes.

So, I'll comment on my experience.
I experimented with the dock when I came home at midnight, and I had trouble placing it in and taking out the joycons without removing the system from the dock. This is directly because I was being extra careful of not knocking things over (i was half asleep).
I did that about three times, and when I took the system out, I saw what looked like scratches on the bezel in the exact location as the OP.
Needless to say I was mortified. I grabbed a microfiber cloth and was able to buff them off. If anything, they were just smudges from the plastic in the dock.
I could see how it could happen with a cheap plastic screen protector within in a week, but, IMO, you would have to be aggressively taking the console in and out of the dock multiple times.

Guess you're new here. Don't be an ass. They had two in store in Alkmaar. There was one other dude there at opening and he only wanted a carry case.
That looks beautiful. The screen and the game

He probably means that memory bandwidth only increases by 20% from undocked to docked:

I hate it. The first time in my life that i was not able to apply on without bubbles. I tried every trick in the book and gave up.
I ordered a tempered glass one now from amFilm
But I also have to add two friends of mine applied it without any problem and no bubbles.
The quality, once applied without bubbles is good for a protector that came as a set with the case.
