The Nintendo Switch 2 is the must-have console for plenty of gamers who love to play on the go, but its portability means it’s susceptible to damage. It isn’t a cheap device, either, and that’s why it’s more important than ever to take appropriate steps to prevent potential damage and keep your Switch 2 in top condition for longer.
A screen protector is a wise and relatively inexpensive choice. The Switch 2 has a preinstalled screen film that can protect against splinters of glass should you (gasp!) crack your screen. But a proper screen protector provides better resistance to the everyday scratches that are all too easy to collect, no matter how careful you are.
Plenty of accessory makers have released Switch 2 screen protectors to keep things in tip-top shape for as long as possible. We’ve gathered several choices for your consideration. We’ve not had a chance to test all of these yet, but we’ve rounded up plenty of options that are in stock, easy to install and cover various prices.
Best Nintendo Switch 2 screen protectors
Dbrand Prism 2.0 Screen Protector
Dbrand’s Prism 2.0 set comes with two screen protectors and promises to be idiot-proof in terms of installation. That’s a bit over the top, but we’ve all applied a screen protector wrong at least once, and these bad boys strive to avoid that issue. Plus, you get two screen protectors in the box if you want a spare or if you were lucky enough to get hold of two Switch 2s in your household.
GameStop Screen Protector for Nintendo Switch 2
GameStop is offering its own branded Switch 2 screen protector. It’s $15 for one tempered glass screen protector that promises to “maintain pristine clarity and touch responsiveness” with anti-scratch resistance that provides “a clear and epic gaming experience.” We haven’t tested it yet, but you can grab one in store and go back to complain if it doesn’t live up to the billing.
Spigen GlasTR EZ Fit for Nintendo Switch 2
A lot of the early accessories available come from brands that may be unfamiliar to you, but Spigen is a reputable name in phone cases. It’s offering two tempered-glass Nintendo Switch 2 screen protectors for $23 and includes an auto-alignment installation kit for “effortless” application.
Onn Glass Screen Protector for Nintendo Switch 2
Walmart’s budget Onn brand has released a Switch 2 screen protector, and it’s an affordable option at less than $13. It’s made with Corning glass, the same company that makes iPhone screens, and should be easy to align correctly with the included application tray.
Jsaux tempered glass screen protector, 3-pack
It’s always a good idea to have an extra screen protector on hand. This affordable three-pack ensures you’ll have backups. The Jsaux screen protectors are made with tempered glass and come with a guiding frame for easy installation.
Official Nintendo Switch 2 Carrying Case and Screen Protector
The official option is also available. It’s $40, which is more than some others, but it also comes with a hard carrying case to make it easier to transport your Nintendo Switch 2. It’s currently out of stock online at the major third-party retailers and Nintendo, but you may find local stock if you’re lucky.
