No, I'm careful with my electronics.

When docking, slightly push the switch so if anything connects it's the back of the console, it's common sense.

Then again I didn't smash my TV with a wiimote. Perhaps they are the same demographic?

I haven't scratched mine yet but I hear it smells like lilacs if you do.

What about gooseberries?

Wtf? The screen is plastic? I didn't even know that capacitive touch screens could be plastic. Are there any tempered glass screen protectors available yet?

I got a Droid Moto Z Force. At the time, and maybe even now, the best Android phone on the market. Beefy specs, incredible pixel density, 21 megapixel camera, "Moto Mods" (which are awesome), and an unbreakable screen.... that is made of plastic. It supposedly can survive being run over by a car. Scratches like crazy, though. I had to get a screen protector.

Nope. Haven't scratched it at all. Then again, my Wii U tablet, PSP, and Vita doesn't have scratches on it either. I've ordered the tempered glass protection. Should be in sometime next week.

Did you unlock your first achievement, scratching your precious screen?

If yes, how and why?

Could you upload some images?

The screen is plastic (not glass), so it is lighter, cheaper and less prone to shatter, but it will scratch more easily.

Some durability tests:

I've had a Switch since launch day. Docked and undocked many times. Have taken it to the park with my dog, and to work to use on lunch breaks. No scratches. I do plan to buy a screen protector as a precaution, but I also did that for 3DS and Wii U gamepad, so no big deal.
