Nintendo Switch: Does docking it scratch the screen?

And that's how you get your Switch scratched. It adds a millimeter or so to the screen and the back of the system will get scratched in the Dock. Not because it's bent, but because the Switch itself is now thicker and the dock is shaped to hold it securely so it doesn't move around and get damaged inside.

You could use light cloth on both sides of the dock so as to not harm the front or back of the console.

 

Is there really any danger in the back of the Switch getting scratched? Don't see how it's gonna get scratched by a flat surface.

Yes there is but it's subtle scratches, it still bugs people with OCD. Any surface that grinds against another surface or edge is bound to leave a scratch or a mark over time. It's just physics at work. By making your Switch slightly thicker by even the smallest amount you're increasing the chances of that by removing the breathing room. There's also the element of human error of people subconsciously docking or undocking the switch at a slight angle.
