Tip to anyone who plans to apply a tempered glass screen protector: Wait at least eight hours before using the Switch in the dock as the heat can melt the adhesive if you don’t let it dry. Preferably, you should wait overnight for the adhesive to settle.
Wow. Very good quality for a smaller channel like this ( not saying 900 is bad, that's actually really good!). I was surprised when there was only 916 subscribers. Oh wait. Now it's 917 👍🏻
I seriously regret getting Nintendo's screen protector, it's terrible. I should have read the reviews first before deciding which one to get. But no worries cause now I just placed an order for a better screen protector and had to throw the other one away!
I got this one. Because we had a half husky dog at the time (we had to put her down last month as she was on death's door, we have a new dog now) and due to my having problems putting screen protectors on correctly (I screwed up the flimsy ones), I opted to take it to someone who puts screen protectors on phones and sells phone cases as well as does screen repairs for a living. They did it for no charge and they had already done it for their Switch, using the same one. Works well.
Having decided on the amFilm One Touch Glass Screen & Cam Protector for my Samsung S23+ after comparing a few but being great price and positive reviews (I'm only protecting the screen, the cam protector doesn't fit with my the case fitted so I didn't bother), I found it excellent taking a single attempt to fit using the provided plastic alignment 'dock' which the one in this video doesn't seem to have available. Being sure to match up my phone properly in the dock, running my finger down the middle of the protector from the center to the top then from the center to the bottom as per the installation video, the protector settled cleanly and without grief on the first attempt. As per the installation video available, any bubbles were easily coaxed out simply by lifting the nearest corner slightly and letting the screen settle back down. Doing this I required no use of the (yes flimsy) squeegee provided and Its been in use for over a year now and no marks, scratches, fingerprints or smudges are to be seen.
1:40 "then came the hard part" I started from the bottom and worked up as I put the protection thingi go on . . . this way I never had any problems with air . . . I think this was the Easy part. Hard part was to put it on the clean screen, I mean my screen got dush so fast that I re cleaned my switch screen few times :D
First time using thous things is hard :D but after doing it few times it starts to become easy . . . I don't know if the one you used is flexible which would cause minor problems :D I used plastic one for switch so I could bend it some what so I could just easely push it to stick . . . but I think something similar could have worked. I had little experience when I use "sticky backed plastic" to my school books :) that helped alot. after cover about 10 books the part where there is no air is the easy part, but dirt becomes a problem if you don't have clean working place.
I bough this very same protector and it went on great. it took a bit but I got the bubbles out and no dust left inside. I did it at my computer desk and no issues I think it will last on as long as the device lives.
Thanks for the video! I'll be getting my Switch along with Octopath Traveler, New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe, and Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu!, along with the needed accessories like this screen protector.
Amaet I have had this for a few days now and play Zelda in the dock often and I have had no issues. I will say after putting the screen protector on, I limited overall play to let it set up really good.
My suggestion is to also scout online and bring to this channel mod/project ideas for enjoying the Switch in different ways. 3D printing is gonna be huge with this console!
it's really not that hard. just line up the plus and minus when putting it on. and taking it off, hold the bottom partof the strap as theres these little pins that hold it in place. make sure to release the white lock on the bottom too. sidenote: i dont know why but my straps were never too stubborn out of the box for me compared to the horror stories i've heard
So, how does it hold up? I'm thinking of getting this screen protector, but some reviews says that the protector will melt after the switch has been used in docked mode even when they waited 48 hours or more to let the protector settle. Have you had some similar or other problems?
Wondering how responsive the screen is after the protector is on, since I have a plastic screen protector on mine and noticed it would sometimes ignore my touch inputs.
+TommyGunzs I haven't had any issues with responsiveness. But in all fairness, I hardly ever use touch controls. Maybe I should download Voez and give it a test...
Did mine similar way and the adhesive was able to squeeze out the air on its own so never had any bubble issues. Must be that I actually used the dry wipe🤔
it works great, but the thing i dont get is, the stock screen itself if plastic, and basically isnt gonna crack, so a nice plastic screen protector would have worked just fine. Ive seen some for ohones that withstand direct intentional key scratches , once my protector breaks, im def putting a nicer plastic one on, no sense in putting a glass one. literslly the only reason to have glass is for the hardness factor of glass, but a god plastic one would be better actually
the only issue I had was that one of the screens I got. it had the adhesive on the wrong side. So it got confusing when I realized the screen was gathering dust like crazy. I had to use my second screen, so i installed just like the first and had no problems. overall a great screen I just had that one odd problem.
I just applies mines, and noticed the slight slant on the top right side. Also...a bubble on the top right of my switch. Any suggestions? (I'm thinking about leaving it be.
That was made to look very difficult. Between me and my kids we have 3 Switches. My experience is just to clean the screen, line up the cutouts and border and drop it on. I like hinge style from the bottom. Avoid touching it right away and just watch it adhere to the screen and spread out to the edges. No bubbles at all needed to be pushed out because none formed . The key is just drop it on and let it settle.
I read somewhere the someone had it (not sure if same brand) but it was suggested to wait for around 20 hours before using the switch after installation.
I bought these but decided against them since they are just wayyyy to noticeable and it was far thicker than the other ones I ordered. The one im using is basically invisible.
Wasted $11 on this exact screen protector. No matter how much I cleaned the edges of the screen, it would not adhere in the bottom left corner, and if you try and lift the screen protector to try and realign it, your fingernail will damage the edge of the adhesive back. Fuck screen protectors, just get a storage case for bringing it with you, and be careful with it when putting it in the dock.
LOL I WAS ACTUALLY WONDERING IF THE 7ִ DIFFERENCE WAS OUT OF ACTUAL QUALITY GAP OR JUST PEOPLE TRYING TO MAKE MONEY BY SEEMING GOOD Looks like it's not any different than iphone screen protectors that cost 1$, I bet the 3$ switch glass is just as good
+A Loser's Attempt At A Channel Most people say to wait 12-24 hours before using it in docked mode, just to be safe, because of the heat generated. I don't know the science behind that, though. You can play in handheld mode anytime.
+Switch It Up THANK YOU SO MUCH! The reason it was so urgent is because I'm leaving for vacation tomorrow and needed to know. It's DEFINITELY been more than 24 hours lol I was so worried. Thank you, now I can delete all my other comments.
I'm also getting this in the mail. It needs to get here FAST!!! I can't wait any longer!! I just wanna Dock my switch to play on my TV already without worrying about the scratches!!!

+Kaden Laehu Yay! Thank you so much!!
MUCH better than the official plastic screen protector Nintendo's been offering.
pinoi78 is it really that bad??
Khajiit Master Race If you've seen Blunty's protector screen channel, you'll know how low-quality it is. It can get easily scratched by anything.

One thing to note is that whatever bubbles you have will eventually go away over time if you don't feel like getting the last 1-2 out.
Yep, the amfilm protectors are great. No issues at all with the installation of mine.
I bought this with my Switch. Lines up perfectly, and zero bubbles. Awesome product
UPDATE: I'm EXTREMELY pleased with its performance! Thank you SO MUCH for recommending this! :D
I used it today. Its the best screen protector I have ever used. And they are generous. A pack includes 2 of screen protectors.
Thanks Amfilm!
Just got it today! Works great, not a single scratch.

Aeladya ❤️
you should have used the stickers to put the screen protector like a door.
for a perfect placement and application.
it make things a lot easier....
His alignment was perfect. The round "wings" along with the cutouts make it really easy to align.
NW yea but not everyone is as good, so this is a advice in case of need...
(and it could have helped to put it without bubble...)

I have this screen protector as well and I also had one stubborn air bubble. I left it and after a couple days it went away on its own. Great product
I just got myself a switch and your videos are super helpful!
1:40 "then came the hard part" I started from the bottom and worked up as I put the protection thingi go on . . . this way I never had any problems with air . . . I think this was the Easy part.
Hard part was to put it on the clean screen, I mean my screen got dush so fast that I re cleaned my switch screen few times :D
Ha yeah your experience was definitely different than mine. I did clean my screen like a fiend though. I was SO paranoid about dust!
First time using thous things is hard :D but after doing it few times it starts to become easy . . .
I don't know if the one you used is flexible which would cause minor problems :D I used plastic one for switch so I could bend it some what so I could just easely push it to stick . . . but I think something similar could have worked.

This glass protector is the best one out on the market I just put mine on tonight its definitely clear after it's put on
I subscribed to your channel I am getting a switch tomorrow with this tempered glass. Good review btw
Thanks for the video! I bought this screen protector after watching this and it's is really nice.
This screen protector is the butters. Nothing else better.
+sithlord519 Yeah it's fantastic.
I bough this very same protector and it went on great. it took a bit but I got the bubbles out and no dust left inside. I did it at my computer desk and no issues I think it will last on as long as the device lives.

very informative, i was looking at this pack. i was considering not getting it due to reports of the adhesive melting
Amaet Thanks! I haven't had any adhesive melting issues, but then again, I don't dock it very often.
Amaet I have had this for a few days now and play Zelda in the dock often and I have had no issues. I will say after putting the screen protector on, I limited overall play to let it set up really good.
Nathan Roth That's what I was hearing on here. Once mine is on, I plan on letting it set 24 hours or so before I start using my Switch. ;)
Let the Switch sit overnight after applying the screen protector before you dock the Switch. This lets the adhesive dry.
Awesome channel! Keep it the good work!
+Davi de Castro Rocha Thank you so much!! :)
My suggestion is to also scout online and bring to this channel mod/project ideas for enjoying the Switch in different ways. 3D printing is gonna be huge with this console!
+Davi de Castro Rocha That's a great idea!
Do a video on fixing the joy cons and straps
+TRT The Real Thing You mean like fixing the sync issues and/or getting the straps on and off correctly?
I was talking about getting the straps off, but it may give the viewers more tips if you did both. :)
it's really not that hard. just line up the plus and minus when putting it on. and taking it off, hold the bottom partof the strap as theres these little pins that hold it in place. make sure to release the white lock on the bottom too. sidenote: i dont know why but my straps were never too stubborn out of the box for me compared to the horror stories i've heard

lol I had that same one bubble but I still love it
+David McDonald That's one stubborn bubble! Did you get it yo go away, eventually?
+Switch It Up its kinda weird but it fixed itself overnight

Thanks. Steamy bathroom. Glad I watched this.
This didn’t work for me it put 2 big bubbles in the middle with all 3 I tried

how are your joy-cons dark blue
Winter3793 They're the neon blue ones - it's probably just the lighting that makes them look like that.
Thanks
I tried it its awesome i have no scratches
Will the glass adhesive really melt on the screen?? Because I want to get a glass protector instead of my plastic
I haven't had any issues with the melting. But I also haven't docked it extensively. I don't think the melting has been a very widespread issue.
I read somewhere the someone had it (not sure if same brand) but it was suggested to wait for around 20 hours before using the switch after installation.
Where do you get those blue joycons
I got those from amazon also
so I can still play in handheld mode after I put it on? or will the adhesive melt also
Chris Carranza You can still play in handheld mode - it doesn't heat up in handheld mode like it does when docked.
Switch It Up cool, thanks man
+Chris Carranza No problem! Thanks for watching!
Really? I got my amfilm on with 0 bubbles first try
Where can I pick one up?

2:47 WHY IS THERE AN AIR BUBBLE
Good video tho
That's an out of focus highlight from the camera lens.
My switch screen cracked just yesterday but luckily I had a screen protector.
Andres Sanchez so did it crack
Plastic is very hard to crack.
Were can u buy this glass screen protector at
Nick Ragauskas amazon!
I'm getting mines on eBay cause it's a little cheaper, if that's okay too I guess!
www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N3ASPNV/
I got these and had 0 bubbles with no effort
Lol a battle with a air bubbles
“A air bubbles.”
do you think i still need to use the wipe if the switch is new right out of the box?
+artnos I would, just to be safe. It may still have a speck of something on it.
Yes.
I bought these but decided against them since they are just wayyyy to noticeable and it was far thicker than the other ones I ordered. The one im using is basically invisible.
TJ Knight which one are you using now?
I disagree.

Looks like it's not any different than iphone screen protectors that cost 1$, I bet the 3$ switch glass is just as good
Any tempered glass screen protector will probably be just as good, but it's better than any plastic screen protector by miles.
What $3 Switch glass?
I know you'll never read but for what its worth. This is miles ahead of the cheap ones for sure. Take it from someone who's used one before.
HOW LONG SHOULD I WAIT TO USE MY SWITCH AFTER INSTALLING PLEASE PLEASE PLEEEEEEASE H FOR HURRY E FOR URGENT L FOR LOVE ME AND P FOR PLEASE HELP
