Does the Switch Dock Need A Redesign?

nope even that is not going to help, coz the nintendo is using plastic screen which is the worst type of protection for a touch screen, infact even with a normal glass u will have some sort of protection, coz even cleaning it with a micro fiber cloth u will end up with fine scratches on the screen. Nintendo doesnt need to redesign the dock or anything they just need add a high quality tempered screen with every nintendo switch. 

Glass breaks though, especially with kids, I think that was the reasoning behind it. Even the Vita does not use glass. 

Just get rid of that front plastic flap or change the design of the dock. It doesn't need to even be there. 

They could have not been cheap and went with gorilla glass. Or not went cheap and made a low-quality plastic dock. Or not went cheap and allow people to use USB-C to HDMI adapters which are far cheaper for consumers than the dock. I am enjoying my Switch as a portable device, but there seems to be a growing trend with a lot of head-scratching corner-cutting cheap moves by Nintendo in the design of this whole thing. I'm leaning towards returning mine and watching for both more software and what I consider a pretty obvious hardware redesign in the dock and other aspects of the system soon enough.
