In fact, it should be a priority to stick one onto the console\u2019s screen as soon as possible to avoid accidental scratches.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">I\u2019ve been installing and removing Switch 2 screen protectors to test others on my console at an alarming rate, more than any sane person should, and here are the most important takeaways:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Do not buy a flimsy plastic screen protector. They won\u2019t protect your Switch 2 enough.<\/li>\n<li>It\u2019s impossible to tell different brands\u2019 protectors apart once they\u2019re on your screen; product packaging and the installation process are the biggest differences (as well as the key factors that increase cost).<\/li>\n<li>Some protectors are glossy and some are anti-reflective, each with its own tradeoffs. For my money, glossy is the way to go. The matte finish looks good, but it reduces the screen\u2019s vivid quality and its viewing angles.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-none\">Of the options below, it\u2019s easiest to recommend <strong>amFilm\u2019s three-pack of glossy screen protectors<\/strong>. Not only is the pack incredibly affordable ($7.19 from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Compatible-Installation-Transparent-Accessories-Anti-Scratch-SWTCH2-7-9\/dp\/B0DS73N83B\/ref=sr_1_1?crid=231EBG3UY5Q1Y&amp;dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.JMr6OSZhN-me8fKx8Im9R7U5j4AtUW8FmAj8fOrmMVp_kd7IaANV23xirhpm-Nu3u-IW9iIW7MNKWLynDfeCvTM2LeTAqiwbCro0UMaMS5CO4mvnbSCGtxMxuaMqvAZXGtL2vxQlcWcs5Fkgaa1I2ZKVRowy8OLW-Wax7noSoOMqPYLkUO3_7nsVKhEqEfF6M9s17fsV_zGG7C56ySqBsYVn15FHF4z6XBZwn9q2mf4ZfMiNLS2t3-hVQAqp9kyDNUcMHg7duxH_HIS8GqbcYDIlf69VsTAA2fMFoFGokFQ.yZ4lHneAbW6omJP3ynK2hf1RHRN3D5G-yXRBUxDOPHg&amp;dib_tag=se&amp;keywords=amfilm%2Bswitch%2B2&amp;qid=1751290880&amp;s=electronics&amp;sprefix=amfilm%2Bswitch%2B2%2Celectronics%2C78&amp;sr=1-1&amp;th=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a>), but the tray also allows for perfect alignment of the glass protector for easy, bubble-free installation. I\u2019ve used this company\u2019s screen protectors on various gadgets for years, and I particularly like its glossy option over the matte finish, since it lets the Switch 2\u2019s screen fully shine through.<\/p>\n<div class=\"image-slider\">\n<div class=\"image-slider\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.theverge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/06\/glossypikmin4mainRAW.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;crop=0,0.010773540185305,100,99.978452919629\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"Here\u2019s what the Switch 2 looks like with a glossy screen protector. | Image: Cameron Faulkner\/The Verge\" data-portal-copyright=\"Image: Cameron Faulkner\/The Verge\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.theverge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/06\/pikmin4matteRAW.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;crop=0,5.4531490015361,100,89.093701996928\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"Here\u2019s what the Switch 2 looks like with a matte screen protector. | Image: Cameron Faulkner\/The Verge\" data-portal-copyright=\"Image: Cameron Faulkner\/The Verge\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.theverge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/06\/glossypikminsideRAW.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;crop=0,5.4531490015361,100,89.093701996928\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"Back to a glossy screen protector for a different view. | Image: Cameron Faulkner\/The Verge\" data-portal-copyright=\"Image: Cameron Faulkner\/The Verge\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.theverge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/06\/pikmin4sidematteRAW.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;crop=0,0,100,100\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"The matte screen protector neutralizes the glare, at the cost of contrast. | Image: Cameron Faulkner\/The Verge\" data-portal-copyright=\"Image: Cameron Faulkner\/The Verge\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.theverge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/06\/glossyRAWshowcase.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;crop=0,0.010773540185305,100,99.978452919629\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"The glossy screen protector makes the Switch 2 a fingerprint magnet. | Image: Cameron Faulkner\/The Verge\" data-portal-copyright=\"Image: Cameron Faulkner\/The Verge\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/platform.theverge.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2025\/06\/screenmatteRAW.jpg?quality=90&amp;strip=all&amp;crop=0,0.0060146758089701,100,99.987970648382\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" data-has-syndication-rights=\"1\" data-caption=\"The matte protector still picks up smudges, but fewer of them | Image: Cameron Faulkner\/The Verge\" data-portal-copyright=\"Image: Cameron Faulkner\/The Verge\" \/>\n\t<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"product-block\">\n<h3>amFilm three-pack of glossy screen protectors<\/h3>\n<div class=\"product-description\">My go-to screen protector brand for years has been amFilm.
