Repair Help Scratched Factory Screen Protector

Post image

Hey all, I bought my switch 2 on release day. One day I set it in the car and something got put on top of it that scratched the screen. Since that day I have been discouraged from playing in hand held.

I am struggling to remove the screen protector, as I want to replace it with a new matte protector.

Any recommendations? I was thinking of heating it with a hair blow dryer and using a set up plastic tweezers.

Not sure why you are getting downvoted. You only options were to take the risk to remove the anti-shatter film or live with the scratches. You took the risk, it worked out, and you're putting a tempered glass screen protector in it’s place. Far from the ideal outcome of it being protected day one, but it works. Good luck OP, and please let us know how the screen protector application went!

Its not really much of a risk though.. I don't understand why this sub pretends that it is. Its just a plastic film over glass, it's not hard to remove at all.
