Usually, I'm very careful with my tech, and before I even begin to use something, I'll ensure that it has a case, screen protector, and even camera lens protectors applied if necessary (see our guide to the best Nintendo Switch 2 accessories for our top picks). As a clumsy person, I've learned over the years not to trust myself with shiny new toys unless they're guarded, but I had to make an exception for my Switch 2 as Amazon delivery didn't arrive in time.
The protector in question is a pre-production sample of the Jsaux Obsidian AR screen protector, which is coming in October for $21.99. The company claims it's better than standard screen protectors because it features a similar physical vapor deposition (PVD) coating found in the Apple Studio Display. It's supposed to reduce glare while retaining a glossy appearance - an ideal combination for gamers, since you can't always choose where you'll play games.
