I bought mine at launch and mine had a few faint scratches from just undocking a handful of times. I've since put on a glass protector. Even if Nintendo has made some production changes to remedy this which I doubt, it'll make it easier to clean the screen. Wiping a plastic screen you'll no doubt put scratches on it. Plus the glass I bought has oleophobic coating which makes it feel smoother to the touch.
Yeah, totally swear by them myself. White I've heard many claims about its natural screen being quite resilient, and others saying that it does scratch in the dock, I personally would never wanna take that chance. Sure it'll be under warranty for the next year or so, but having to take it in to get repaired would mean being without my switch for too long, so for me prevention is always better than cure.
That does look great. I prefer symmetry, and I just can't have two different joycons from the neon version.
Is that a hard plastic shell? Be careful with those. I had one on a DSi and an early 3DS and they both caused scratches.
Good point about the scratching with solid cases. (hadn't thought of that!) In that case I will have to be careful with the Zelda Joy-Con guards I mentioned, as those are made of a transparent hard plastic aswell. (fortunately the way they clip onto the joy-cons isn't the kind that scrapes across anything so hopefully they will be okay).
They basically sort of come in two halves (a top and a bottom that clips into eachother, rather than relying on having to scrape over the actual Joy-Cons, if you know what I mean). So fingers crossed they will be okay! (don't wanna wreck my colored joy-cons though, as those things get expensive, so I'll just keep them on the grey ones for now until enough time has passed when I know for sure.
Pity though, as they do look kinda cool on the colored ones, as this guy showed on a YouTube video...
(if you want to skip to the best that show how they clip on and how they look on each color, skip to about 2:48 on the video, as the rest of the vid before that is more about the more useless accessories that come in this pack). Still a great watch though, regardless. (he actually does alot of really good vids about stuff for the switch, and I like the way he's quite impartial and points out the flaws aswell as the strengths) so I've subscribed to his channel to see what else new comes up, as he's usually pretty spot on with his recommendations.

Yeah me too. That was my issue with the neon launch bundle, the 2 different colours.
And yeah it's a clear case. Thanks for the heads up. It only covers the back, doesn't seem like it would scratch anywhere but I'll keep an eye on it.
Yeah please do. It's always good to speak to real people who have tried stuff. Speaking of the split colors, I wonder what they will do when the splatoon joycons come out? Do you reckon they will eventually do all pink and all green sets, or that we'll just be stick with half green half pink? (I really hope they have thought this one through, as my daughter definitely wants an all pink set, if and when it happens!)
