Nonsense. The screen is glass (so I've been lead to believe) I don't know what type but even if it was window glass plastic wont scratch it. You would need some incredibly hard plastic to scratch glass. Your car keys aren't hard enough to scratch normal window glass.

According to GAF the screen isn't glass but plastic. The source is the NintendoLife review: http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2017/03/hardware_review_nintendo_switch_nintendos_most_important_console_yet

One thing which is worth noting is that the panel itself is plastic rather than super-tough glass like you'd find on an iPhone or iPad.

As such, it's very easy to scratch – our review unit picked up a mark within 24 hours despite being handled with utmost care –

so you'll almost certainly want to purchase some kind of carry case if you're looking to take it out of the house, and perhaps even

a screen protector.
