Super easy installation: Spigen tempered glass Nintendo Switch screen protector

Buy it in bulk: iVoler Transparent HD Clear Anti-Scratch Screen Protector Compatible with Nintendo Switch
With a scratch-resistant coating, super clear transparency, and thin enough to not interfere with touchscreen capabilities, the iVoler VGuard is a great tempered glass screen protector for your Nintendo Switch. Plus, it's available in a three-pack. So, you can have backups if one cracks, or you can even outfit multiple consoles if you have a household with more than one Switch.

Two-pack of glass: Orzly Glass Screen Protectors Compatible with Nintendo Switch
The Orzly Tempered glass screen protector is nice and thin at only 0.24mm, and it promises not to interfere with using your Switch Dock or reducing touchscreen sensitivity. The rounded edges help prevent accidental cuts, and with the tempered glass' anti-shatter abilities, you'll never need to worry about hurting yourself while using or applying the protector. You also get two in one pack.

Very popular: amFilm Tempered Glass Screen Protector for Nintendo Switch
The amFilm Nintendo Switch screen protector is one of the thicker glass screen protectors on this list at around 0.3mm, but it should stand up to the toughest of scratches. Plus, it ships with two protectors in the box, so you have a backup just in case of emergencies!

Super thin plastic: Maxboost Nintendo Switch Screen Protector
While the Maxboost screen protector is made out of PET (Polyethylene terephthalate) — a type of plastic — it's the thinnest screen protector you can find. Measuring at only 0.1mm, it absolutely won't interfere with the touchscreen on the Switch, and it even has an oleophobic coating to help prevent fingerprints from sticking to the screen.

Shatter resistant: Singland Tempered Glass Screen Protector Compatible with Nintendo Switch
The 0.4mm screen is the thickest protector on this list but that gets you toughness that will protect your device from shattering, scratches, or just fingerprint smudges without sacrificing touchscreen sensitivity. The glass is 99.9% transparent so you'll still have a natural viewing experience on either the Switch or Switch Lite.
A Nintendo Switch screen protector is necessary
The Nintendo Switch screen is made out of plastic, so it's super prone to scratches, scuffs, and other damage. Picking up a Nintendo Switch screen protector (and preferably the tempered glass kind) is necessary to ensure you keep it looking as good as possible.
The Spigen tempered glass screen protector is one of our favorites because it's easy to install and has the same feel as the regular Switch screen.
Another great option is the amFilm screen protector because it's easy to install and also quite durable. While it's thicker than the others, it doesn't interfere with the touch sensitivity of the Switch. If you prefer to have the thinnest screen protector possible, then you can't go wrong with the Maxboost PET screen protector. It's the thinnest pick mentioned in this collection, so it definitely won't interfere with touch sensitivity and the oleophobic coating means fewer smudges to clean. What's not to love?
Any of the screen protectors above are going to help give you peace of mind as you slide that Switch in-and-out of that dock and travel around. This is also just the start of protecting your Nintendo Switch. You can check out a case and other accessories if you want to take your Switch out and about safely.
