Is it really scratching the screen? If it's really happening and it's not because of misuse, then it's a true design flaw.

It is, but its worse with some docks than others.

If you look at them from the side view, some of them arnt "straight" they bend inwards, makeing getting the switch in and out is more difficult.

Anyways a screenprotector (8-10$) + felt pads (1-5$), and its fixed.

You can also get the "bent" dock, to be stretched to normal, by leaveing a fat book in it, that ll keep it more like normal, and then useing a heat gun to make it set like that.

 

Its most like a lottery production thingy, not all docks are made right.

Same with the joy-cons, the left one has some "hand soldered" work, and those that dont work are usually just a worker that didnt do it quite right.

Even with those cheap solutions, it still feels like bad design. About the left joycons the only thing I'd say is that Nintendo used to have better quality assurance.
