Nintendo’s new, updated switch sells well and looks great. But if you’re lucky enough to find one this year, you might want to buy a screen protector for it, as a YouTuber found the Switch OLED screen to be very soft and easily damaged by items like coins or keys.
YouTuber JerryRigEverything sacrificed a new switch OLED for the common goodto test the screen, joycons, general build quality, and robustness of the new console. The results are mostly positive, with Nintendo appearing to be addressing many of the shortcomings in the original hardware.
The biggest problem, however, seems to be the new sleek screen and its plastic cover. It can be easily scratched with minimal pressure and with blunt objects like a coin. Putting a decent screen protector over it is probably a smart move. JerryRig noted that the bezel appears to be designed to fit a screen protector, as if Nintendo knew how many people are going to add some extra protection their new Switch OLEDS.
As for the rest of the console, Nintendo added more metal pieces to the overall build that make it difficult to bend and add structure and stability to the joycon connections on either end of the console. The larger stand is also now made entirely of metal, which provides extra protection from damage caused by a guy trying to bend the whole thing in half.
JerryRigEverything tested how the screen reacts to an open, direct flame via a lighter. The plastic layer didn’t melt, but it left a permanent and uncomfortable stain on the OLED screen. I probably don’t need to tell you this, but I would avoid sliding the OLED switch near a fire or open flame. Just to be sure.
