This is not as funny as the OP is trying to spin it. That kick stand looks flimsy as heck.

So another "this video doesn't deserve any views" video.
Yet has an entire thread dedicated to it, which is asking people to view the video - you don't want getting views?

Seems a common trend these days.

edit: That said, not a very impressive stand.

The video brings a good point- it isn't the best stand in the world. However, there is no point in exaggerating it.

 

If a video introduces an actual piece of criticism, it deserves views (and not dislikes). Unfortunately, they presented this in a bad way. 

Could the stand be better? Of course, but common sense says you should probably take the joycons out and then put it into kickstand mode. You don't just yank a phone out of the charging cord, do you? You hold the phone down and then remove the cord carefully. I think the same applies to the joycons.

Well I agree the system should be treated carefully like any tablet.  Dropping it is just going to lead to damaged bezels and screens since this is not your typical empty plasticky Nintendo hardware.  I'm curious to see what kind of protective cases are made for switch, since the removable joycons will make that a bit tricky.

Btw, common sense aside -- every Nintendo Switch commercial shows pepwle just sliding the Joycons off while the system is standing on it's kickstand.
