Prediction: Nintendo switch, gen 1, will have a high fail rate lifetime. Second hands on impressions.

I don't think there's anything wrong with the construction of the main unit itself. I find it more durable than say a 3DS. However I do have issues with the dock. The dock WILL scratch the sides of your screen. It will happen, there's nothing to stop it if you don't have a screen protector. The dock itself is very flimsy. As for screens cracking if you drop it... that's somewhat of an expectation unfortunately, if I dropped my phone, there's a good chance the screen will crack on it. Although based on the drop tests I've seen with the switch, I'd say the screen is the least of your worries.
