KnowForceKen 9 hours ago#1 As I've posted in a few other topics, my Switches screen gets marked on the bottom when docked. It is slightly tight at the bottom when being lowered into the dock. I had also bought my daughter a Switch, but she hadn't opened it yet because she is at her grandmothers house. Well, I decided to open it anyway to see if her dock had the same issue. It doesn't. My Switch fits perfectly fine in her dock. You can actually wobble it in there a little, whereas it is tight in my dock. There is definitely a difference in quality in docks and I just happened to get a s***ty one. And before anyone says it, no I won't take hers. I will be contacting Nintendo support to try to get a replacement dock. -BIGOT- (edited 9 hours ago)stickyreportquote

Shmashter 9 hours ago#4 How would you check without docking the switch? Can you tell by sticking your hand in or something? Haven't got mine yet and I wanna make sure it's safe to use So your switch is already scratched? If it is that's a bummer :/ reportquote

WORST CASE, there are other docks for sale as well and you can use 1 dock for both consoles assuming you take turns or one isnt being used sony has e3 2017, 2018 and e3 2019 to promote ps4. relax with that nextgen talk. reportquote

It's not going to destroy your Switch right away. Mine is very, very lightly marked. I just worry about long term effects after repeated use. -BIGOT- reportquote

Thanks for the info!  Also, exactly which part marks the switch? If it's just sandwiching it too tightly maybe you could just loosen some screws, then you wouldn't have to send it back? Just a suggestion, but I'm by no means an expert reportquote

killaSeason007 9 hours ago#9 Yeah if there was not front facing cover it would work so much better  Will there be third party docks available? Pretty sad I have to ask that question reportquote

Haven't got mine yet and I wanna make sure it's safe to use So your switch is already scratched? If it is that's a bummer :/ Even if its tight, the interior has two soft rails. They dont scratch the screen. They do put little smudges. People that are jamming their s*** in haphazardly are the ones getting scratches. reportquote

If they are tight enough, they can make very fine scratches. An example of something like this: If you wipe a glossy PS4 or Xbox One with microfiber cloth too hard, they will scratch. -BIGOT- (edited 9 hours ago)reportquote

They are meant to protect your screen from everyday use etc. Not protect from sliding it in and out from a dock that is made from the company you bought it from. But yes i did buy one.

People that are jamming their s*** in haphazardly are the ones getting scratches. im starting to get convinced this is the situation. ive seen so many unboxings with westerners jamming their joycon attachments without looking at the symbols, getting them stuck, unboxing the whole thing upside down and the screen falls out , ive seen so much crap sony has e3 2017, 2018 and e3 2019 to promote ps4. relax with that nextgen talk. reportquote

Maybe I don't know what I'm looking for... It is hard to tell from the pics, but the pads on mine are tight against the screen, whereas hers are barely resting on it. I may have to make a video to really show the difference. -BIGOT- reportquote

jediblaster 4 hours ago#25 But. What is it that scratches the screen? Those plastic bars that stick out slightly? I just can't get mine to scratch my screen. Is yours scratched? You said it's tight. But did it scratch? Can you show pics if it did? Why's the rum gone? reportquote

Is yours scratched? You said it's tight. But did it scratch? Can you show pics if it did? No, the pads themselves at the bottom are tight on mine. I posted pics in this topic already. It leaves smudges. When you wipe away the smudges, there are very fine scratches. -BIGOT- reportquote
