I bought a broken switch with a shattered screen from someone last week but when I got it home it was just a glass screen protector that had broken lol. Worked totally fine. $70 well spent.

Other tips: - have a good lighting to spot the dust on the screen. - use dust removal stickers to remove the extra dust after using the drying wipes - Don’t cheap out on a good screen protector brand - some types come with alignment stickers (or even plastic frames) to help you apply the protector correctly.

One thing to note is if you have stubborn air bubbles underneath your protector, sometimes it's not a bad idea to just leave it for a few days. Eventually they'll leak out of tiny imperfections and go on their own, so it's better to have your perfectly applied protector with bubbles and wait rather than wasting a whole pack trying the near impossible.

Anyone remember the old 3DS screen protectors from nintendo? Where it had like a little square you pull off and can press on once you have it aligned then it pulls out the adhesive layer from underneath? I miss that design, it was really cool.

Even though I don’t have the OLED Switch, this is still a really, really useful and in-depth guide. Thanks much, Zion! Great first video for the Switch Basics series. Also, that Tri-Force Heroes microfibre cloth is lovely. And the plushies made this video a pleasure to watch.

Do it in the bathroom, and Steam the shower for 10 minutes prior and during. Make sure mirror is fogged up fully. The moisture causes dust to cling and drop down to the floor rather than float. Use scotch tape to dab screen fully and remove all dust, then do the same for the screen protector on both sides (to prevent dust falling off it when applying). Then peel plastic, throw on the floor and IMMEDIATELY apply. Run finger across middle length to force air out on top and bottom.

I would advise to remove the joycon before you start pressing down on your switch. You'll damage the joycon or joycon rails if you push too hard. Remove the joycon and let the switch lie flat

I hate putting on screen protectors lol thanks for the tips!

Neat. I just got a switch protector that I was planning on installing today. Time to watch this video

I took a hot bath while applying my screen protector, the steam keeps dust from rising and sticking to the screen, and now I smell fresh as well!

I already knew how to do this, but I watch the video anyways because it's Zion. Good Video!

thank you for this! such a big help for someone who doesn't have any experience placing a protector on my switch, this tutorial helped me a lot and my switch is dust proof and i placed the protector just right 👍🏻 tysm !

Great video! I did have instructions with my glass protector, but I'm more of a visual learner. I did it perfectly on the first try after watching :D

Any recommendations for any good Oled screen protectors. Apparently a lot of top known brands screen protectors are a bit small for the Oled console. For the people who has one, which one did you get. And does it cover the full screen.

Thank you. I tried following another tutorial, but I messed up because the method was not right for me. So I had to re-apply it. Other than a few dust particles doto several reapplying attempts that got on the sticky end of the screen protector (prior to me attempting your method). Your method was easy, helpful, and very effective. Thank you, thank you; so very much.

I used to apply screen protectors when I sold cell phones so I'm very used to these glass one's but I still manage to mess up the one I put on my base switch 😂😆

Loved the use of plushies made this an entertaining video!

This was very helpful for my OLED screen protector thank you.

love the editing! so charming

Is the screen protector placed on top of the one that's already on the switch?

I installed a screen protector on the new pokemon switch lite the other day, since it was brand new i kept it in the plastic bag until i put the protector on. It worked flawlessly. (It was also a tray applicator, which was super easy)

In my country tempered glass for OLED is not sold yet so I've put the original switch non glass protector on my OLED . Not a perfect fit but still decent for a time being

I just got the screen protector and I think I did mucked up the instruction since it didn't came with it, I wiped with the wet cloth then put the protector on then use the dry cloth, would that damages the switch itself or am I'm good?

Thank you my screen protector had been broke for probably six months and because the video I changed it out lickety-split no problem now I feel like a pro🎉

I litteraly did this first go at my oled good video!

I love this just love this just like your channel

I already applied a screen protector film which was included with my splatoon 3 carrying case to my OLED Switch, can I apply tempered glass on top of it?

Might be a dumb question but if I place a screen protector on and then take it off at a later stage to replace it, will it pull of the other film underneath it?

Which protector would you recommend for the OLED? Cheers!

Wish y’all could’ve put which screen protector y’all got in the description. Like y’all mentioned, some people probably will be confused and buy either the lite or og switch screen protector by accident

Loving my Oled, guess I’ll sell my Lite as I doubt I’ll use it after getting the Oled yesterday

the problem is, i think i NEED to removed the protective film it came with, today i just realised it got a TINY hole scratch in it and i can't do anything abt it, so is it really fatal if i remove it to apply my own screen protector ?

I’m sweating! Omg! This was so stressful! Good thing I’m not a surgeon! I think I did an excellent job, thank you very much.

Thanks for the advice 😃 👍

Is there a specific one you guys would recommend?

I loved Kazooie in this video

Cheers Zion, I just installed a screen protector onto my Tears of the Kingdom OLED - Craig

What screen protector have you got is it glass

Weird I literally just put a screen protector on my switch 15 minutes before this went live

Another tip if there are some dust, use tape. Lightly dab it to get the dust particle off. This is also effective in removing wipe marks. You can also do it if you accidentally put fingerprints on the sticky side. I would also suggest to peel off only half the plastic rather than removing the whole cover then apply the exposed side and slowly peel it off as you are placing the glass protector. This will help you align the glass protector while minimizing the chances of getting dust on the screen.

Someone has been taking notes from Cooking with AiAi...I approve hehe :)

Yup, just what I thought, the terror of unveiling the adhesive side....lol

I also use compressed air, dust removal sticker, and plenty of light.

I don't need these but I love these

0:48 30 year old man with a room like that! I love it! It's becoming more normalized to game as the millennial's get older. It's beautiful.

I need to do things myself sometimes

I have a air bubble on the corner what should I do to remove it?

In hindsight I should have gotten a screen protector but I do plan on eventually upgrading to the OLED model so when I do I will probably get a screen protector

Hey guys, so i got a question, i bought a cheap protector because of my budget at the time, never dropped and dont even use handheld mode on my oled and today i was gonna play Resident evil 0 and when i noticed, my screen protector had 2 wierd crack like scratches...why?

Please make a video about green tint on nintendo oled

Pro tips you can use if you are really bad at aligning is using scotch tape on one side of the machine and attached to the non adhesive side of the screen protector. After you align it nicely this acts like a hinge and falls into place. Also scotch tape is good to recover a screen protector that got hairs, dust, or fingerprints stuck to the adhesive side.

zion you are good ideas.

Best tip ever after being a tech geek all my life and owning 1 of everything : use a credit card to make it even when you place it down and your guaranteed no bubbles!

How do I remove the screen protector, i have a big fluff under the screen protector

Would also recommend turning your shower in your bathroom on and get it steamy, the steam will help with dust particles from filling the air

Just went threw 3 protectors because I keep messing them up :/

At Walmart there's a store-branded screen protector you can buy for around seven bucks. It comes with one temper glass screen protector. What's special about it is that the screen protector is in a plastic tray, so all you need to do is clean your switch, take the film off the screen protector, and place the tray over the entire switch. There's a small hole to push down and remove the screen protector from the tray. Fairly simple. I'm not good at putting on screen protectors, it's why I bought it. I highly recommend it if you only have the standard switch model.

If you f it up do you have to buy another protector

I get nervous putting these on lol I have neuropathy so you can imagine what I go through ty 😜

As soon as I get a Nintendo Switch Oled, one of the first things I'm gonna definitely gonna do is add a screen protector on it.

JerryRigEverything showed that the OLED screen is plastic tho right??

Amazing

I actually applied my by pressing the middle and it wa a clean application

I always get it on perfectly except for one corner of the protector that won't stick. 😢

Where was this a week ago

It help me thank you

“Your daily Nintendo life” I see what you did there

thanks

I messed up abit and it has bubbles in the top left

I’m annoyed cuz since it says it in the user manual which I didn’t read I removed the screen protector which bothers me now

I was thinking what if you remove the plastic film that comes pre-installed on the OLED and then put your own screen protector on? Or should I not remove it at all? I was just slightly concerned about the clarity...

1:35 So, I should remove it?

I have an extra screen protector for the original model, is it possible to fit on the OLED? I know it has notches inthe display unlike the OLED but is it still the same overall size? I dont kknow where it is at the moment and wanna know if I should waste my time looking or not

If you don't want to use rubber gloves, besides washing your hands, I find that using a hand sanitizer with alcohol dries the hands out causing less chance of oils hitting the protector.

we all thought the oled would be the pro lol what a small upgrade

Tried to put this screen protector on and there was bubbles and some weird black lines in it and dead ass wasted 16 bucks, Dead heated rn I hate screen protectors

if it wasnt for this video i would have put it on the back of the switch.

I gave up on this. tried it with two foils and it was either riddled with fingerprints or air bubbles. I tore both foils apart in a flash of rage

How to turn on your switch video please 👍

Nintendo Life to the rescue, 4 years too late.

I would not touch the OLED film! And also for the normal Switch it can create problems. For example: the Switch will not "switch" that easy like before into the dock. And for outdoor you can use a Switch bag. But for the Switch Lite of course it is woth imo.

AT&T sell games???

Cool tip

Quick question do u use two screan Procters for The oled in the video it looks you are using two

Putting a screen protector on a Nintendo Switch: THE 2021 REMAKE

1:39 what game is that???

I bought a 2 pack a couple weeks ago for my new OLED and now they're both in the bin despite my best efforts.

Why did he put 2 screen protector

Remove the joycons, makes it easier

I can never do it 😢😢

Don't listen to the comments suggesting doing it in the bathroom with the bath running hot, this sounds like a bad idea, it is an electrical device after all.

Does anyone else get anxiety to the max when trying out one on 🤣

Took me 5 protectors to get it perfect. F

Can you show us how to remove it lol

Next: how to charge your Switch...

Installed my Oled screen protector with no bubbles it was rather easy don't do it the way in this video lmao not hating or nothing bro but I have OCD those bubbles you had would have drove me insane.

I fucking scratched the protecter

Just put a table outside and apply it there, no need for a shower. U remove all dust this way in the enviroment.

It's OLED, not O-L-E-D

That's not a great way to apply a screen protector, and I do it for a living: - You want to remove a tiny corner of the film so you have purchase, then flip it over so when the film is off, it's not facing up for particles to land on. - Then you want to allign one side with the edge of the screen, let the rest of the protector fall into place, before running your index finger horizontally across it with moderate force (immediately, don't waste time on this part). - This causes the protector to bend in the middle, and because it's adhesive, it creates a very tight seal that will naturally push all the air out from under the protector. Basically once you run your finger across the middle of it, the whole thing will stick itself down without any issues whatsoever. The way Zion is doing it might get you a good result, 'might' being the optimal word here, but follow my way and it'll be perfect every time and take half as long to fit, and I fit around two dozen iPhone, iPad, Kindle, WiiU and Switch protectors a week. But a word of caution: ALWAYS RUN IT ALONG THE LONGEST EDGE... which for the Switch is horizontally. For other devices you need to do it vertically, or horizontally if you turn them first, because you want the pocket of air to have as little contact with the screen, and for the adhesive to have the shortest distance it needs to travel. Not dunking on Zion, he's a great presenter, but this is a little misinformed.
