Nintendo offers PSA not to remove protective screen on Switch OLED
Nintendo has warned users not to remove the protective screen on the new Nintendo Switch – OLED Model.
The new Switch model was recently released on October 8 and many fans who have had a chance to pick up the console have noticed a new “anti-scattering adhesive film” on the 7-inch OLED screen.
Now, Nintendo has offered a PSA and warned users not to remove this protective layer as it will help prevent the screen from being scratched, and more importantly protecting them from shattered glass if the screen were to break.
A spokesperson for Nintendo of America confirmed the news to IGN, whilst also stating that the protective layer will not cause any interference to an additional screen protector on top.
They said: “As indicated on page 2 of the Nintendo Switch OLED Health and Safety Information and Usage Guidelines document (included in the box with the system), please do not peel off the anti-scattering adhesive film from the OLED screen of the console.
“Nintendo sells an official OLED Model screen protector that fits the new screen, so yes you can use one.”
