For everybody else who is wondering: the price is $4.99, which is a good deal for this.

Nice OP. Too bad these are not the tempered glass protectors which are better on capacitive touch displays. Still good for basic protection though

I was thinking the same thing. A two pack of glass protectors go for around $7 and then you have a backup.

Most non-glass protectors also scuff up over time from the dock including the one I previously had on my Switch. I love most of Hori's stuff but not sure I would buy this.

Glass protectors are sooooo much easier to put on than plastic ones. I'm going glass all the way

I second this. The glass ones almost install themselves!

Also, unlike a phone it would be hard to shatter the glass ones because of the inherit design of the switch.

100%. And they have very good warranty replacement as well. Used for my iphone 8 and now my iphone 11. May as well get it for my switch

Even though this is plastic it's very high quality plastic made in Japan and I actually prefer it over glass for the Switch. Fairly easy to install and this will never shatter.

Glass. Glass. Glass! As others said, definitely a quality tempered 9H-hardness glass screen protector instead of this! Hori makes decent stuff and is a reputable brand, but PET makes for poor quality screen protection - scratches easily and will affect the clarity of the screen that it is covering. It's really only suited for "soft" touchscreens like the 3DS.

There's the 2-pk amFilm glass screen protector mentioned earlier in the thread that can be purchased on Amazon. Spigen and others make them as well.

Personally, I've had a glass protector from Anker (that they sadly no longer make) on my Switch since March 2017. I play primarily in handheld and I'm struggling to find even a scratch on the screen protector after what is almost now 3 years.
