Yes a tempered glass screen protector is 100% necessary. The screen is made out of soft plastic and scratches very easily.
At least it will never crack like phone screens do though.

This isn't like mobile phones with their gorilla glass or similar screens so I wouldn't take the risk. The Switch's plastic screen scratches very easily in comparison.
Obviously it's your choice but I think it's important for people to make informed decisions.
Likewise, though I've seen too many videos of this thing showing scratches from the dock to be confident with it.
Indeed it's each to their own, I see no need for it with my usage.
A dock sock would help with that, I have one on just in case.
Screen protectors aren't my bag, I don't like the feel and I don't like the faff of applying them (granted I haven't tried any of the Switch ones). I'd be incredibly OCD about any bubbles as well so it's better for my sanity if I keep it naked.

Any recommendations for protectors other than the Orzly before I order? Someone on Reddit recommended this when I nearly bought a Switch a few weeks ago: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01N3AS...UTF8&colid=14SYZV8SP2RSB&coliid=IYQ5OTLNOABLJ.
The switch feels nicer with a glass screen protector as it feels more like a phone screen to use now rather than the cheapo plastic original screen.
Orzly tempered glass? That's my weapon of choice but a lot of people recommended it.
They're just OK. They feel fine but they don't fit the screen properly! There is a few millimetres gap around the edge that isn't protected and it's hard to line them up because too because of that. The Orzly ones fit properly.

Anyone wanting MK8, if you sign up for Amazon Prime for a month you can get it for £32 along with the promo code 10NOW40 as well.
They did but I think in my case you were the tipping point as you had bought them before. I initially went with the one that came with the case but took it off soon after as there were specks under it and it started peeling away. Then I used it without one for a while but got nervy so I read about it here and decided to go for those. Anyway yeah, they are quality.
I'm not sure about ARMS yet as I'm not sure if I'm into it. I have pre-ordered Splatoon 2 though.

Yeah I'm not wow' by ARMS looks a bit shallow.
What are the requirements for that code to work? I'm guessing it takes a tenner off but I can't make it work.

That's good to hear, I was debating whether to bother with switch version as still have wii u but went for it today because useless at not buying things.
My lad (5 years) is addicted to splatoon, hes so funny with it and i dont mind as its such a good natured game. We had a splatoon birthday party for his 5th with splatoon cake, t shirts, table mats etc etc. He saw splatoon 2 and exploded, the double guns did him. Hes got all the gear, mini games and weapons you can get on splatoon, even the amiibo levels, gear n weapons.
