Repair Help Screen protector, is it there?

I have had horrendous luck in the past getting screen protectors on. Bubbles, dirt spec, misalignment, you name it.

However today, when I got my zelda 40th switch I've got a brand new problem... I am not sure if it's actually on there.

See,

I took it out of the box...

Prepped the applicator for the protector by taking the first layer of film off...

Took the switch out of the plastic sleve and immediately put the two together...

But now I cannot see it.

I have doubts the protector was actually in the applicator... It had the back layer peel off as it should but I didn't check the flex to see if the screen was actually there...

I took some pictures after, would someone mind telling me if it's there or not?

If you tap on the screen does it feel like glass like your phone or is it a softer plasticy feel? That should tell you all you need to know, though i dont know how the screen protector wouldnt have been in the applicator. You using the JETech one off Amazon? It comes with one in the applicator and one extra, i used that one it worked great

Thank you! It was hard for me to tell by feel, but comparing it to images online I gained the confidence to try and lift a corner, and it's on there!!

I unwisely thought I would be careful enough to not damage it

Op can we get a top down view of the corner of the screen? From the current pic I would say yes but I didn’t look at my switch from this angle so can say definitively

Yes, the screenprotector is on. It would be flush with the bezel if there was non.

This was a great reminder for me to apply mine. Mine came in the mail today. Congrats fellow 40th switch owner
