Another way to protect against scratching the screen.

lol, $13 for shipping on a $19 item. I see Etsy sellers are as bad as eBay sellers are for shipping scams.

I was reading that the reason for screens getting scratched isn't the rails or plastic, its more to do with dust or dirt when docking. All those dock covers do is collect more dust and create more of a scratching hazard

If you are worried about scratching the screen, a tempered glass screen protector is the best option

Careful with screen protectors I've read that some people are having issues with system heat and the glue.. doesn't sound like any damage like the skins, but they don't stick or get bubbles.

The ones mentioned a while back (which are being delivered by bottle across the ocean I guess) don't have the issue one of the Amazon reviews said, but check the reviews before ordering aftermarket ones.

I got the EB Games Biogenik screen protector -- it sticks just fine but does get a lot of bubbles in it. Good to know it's not just me.

Yeah I heard most plastic protectors don't work well, like photon said the heat from the system causes them to bubble up. Tempered glass seems like the way to go

I'm holding off on any screen protectors myself. I've had no issues with docking, just been really careful. I have a couple USB C cords now so I'm not going to be docking it very often anyways

I ordered the Orzly Premium Tempered Glass from the UK. Not sure how long it'll take to get here though.

Yup, my Orzly is on the way as well. I probably wouldn't bother with a screen protector if it was glass, but apparently it is plastic which makes it much more susceptible.

Finally beat my first Devine Beast in Gerudo - probably didn't help that I supposedly did the toughest one first.

I'm current inside Vah Ruta with the 5th terminal unlocked, but then my kid had to go to bed. And I am under strict orders from him to not go any further until he is able to watch. Plus, in typical Zelda fashion, I am certain that I won't just be able to exit the beat triumphantly without a battle or two. Zelda whispering "don't let your guard down" has guaranteed that.

The divine beasts scale in difficulty level as you progress through each, though I imagine the dungeon puzzles themselves are static. I'm headed to Gerudo next, but for you, I would definitely recommend you do Vah Ruta next. The spell/power you get for beating it is extremely useful.

Currently trying to grind out resources for armor upgrades. I need like 40 Ice Keese Wings, and I can't find a good reliable place to find them, just random encounters

Photo them and use the Shieka tracker in a snow area?

Yeah that was going to be my next step, I did that when I was trying to find Hearty Bass to upgrade my swimming armor and it seemed to work well.

Funny while I was doing that the green dragon got stuck in some kind of loop, it kept showing up every few minutes to electrocute me while I was trying to find fish.

Better threaten to return it. The kid, I mean.

I feel like I'm the only person who has yet to undock the Switch tablet since I got the thing.
