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. 

Seeing as how people are reporting some scratches on the screen, also from tear downs it's been shown the dock is basically just a large hunk of plastic. 

It's also needlessly large I think, it'd be better if it was smaller and more portable for times where you want to take your dock with you to some one else's home or if you're going on vacation and wouldn't mind playing on the hotel HDTV. 

A dock more like this I think would work better:

No way to really scratch the screen and easier to dock/undock I feel. 

What's even the point of having that piece of plastic on the Switch dock? It doesn't really do anything but potentially scratch the LCD. I think Nintendo made the dock purposely bigger than it had to be to make it look more like a console component, but there's nothing inside that dock basically, it's a waste of plastic. 

i think its just a poor design choice on nintendo's part, considering the motherboard in the dock is not even 30% of the entire dock size, so the next iteration will be heavily focuced on dock. coz right now with a simple glass protector this issue can be curbed. 

Gorilla Glass still breaks, I've seen plenty of shattered Gorilla Glass screens. Ultimately a game system with a scratched screen is still usable, one with a shattered screen -- not so much. 

So I think that was the right call design wise. The design of the dock though, personally I think it's bloated because they want to make it seem like it's a "console" and it's doing something when really it's not doing anything really but outputting the HDMI signal. It's 70% wasted space and has an unneccessary plastic "holder" that could scratch the screen if you're not very careful. Unneccessary. 

No, they need to put just some kind material inside dock to prevent scratching, everything else is good. I like how whole screen is protected, and how docker is using little space.

Picture you posted is terrible because doesn't look at all stable or secure for docked mode, and takes huge amount of space, its look like laptop.

Throwing your phone off a 300 foot building is not central to it's main functionality.

Docking/undocking the Switch unit is something that many people will do 1-2+ times a day. 

Even this design has a lot of wasted plastic. You could cut the plastic off from the front part.  

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.

No, a plastic screen will break before a gorilla glass under the same stress and not to mention that endurance decreases on plastic when heat is added, give it time people will come up with creative cracked design on their switch.
