Amazon has said it's coming on Monday for me but tracking says it started an hour south from my house and then went an extra 2 hours south. I hope the just drove it to the main distribution hub and will give it to the UPS man.
I am still holding a grudge against Amazon for the fact they took out funds Thursday afternoon and did not ship it until Friday night. My biggest issue with that is that I could of went switch hunting friday morning before work but no they wanted to pull that trick so I couldn't cancel it.

For anyone concerned about the dock scratching the screen, your best bet is going to be to pick up a sheet of adhesive felt. They sell it at craft stores like Hobby Lobby or Jo-Ann's. It is fairly thin, and can be easily cut with scissors to fit whatever size you need. It is also nice and soft, and would be able to prevent scratching in a situation like this. I used it to finish a stone chess set, and it worked wonderfully. A strip of this placed on the inner part of the dock would prevent the screen from touching the plastic directly.

Hey, that's a pretty good idea actually. I guess the inside of the dock is flat then, so it can adhere in that area?
I guess that is something that will be addressed in a revision(maybe), but if it's a real issue, something like that should have been included. Or at least some cheap bumpers at the corners to help prevent the issue.

From just undocking and docking a few times, I noticed that there are these 2 protrusions on the bottom 80% of the dock that narrow more than the opening of the dock would lead you to believe they would. I still think it's something an adult could just show enough care to avoid making it an issue, but children trying to hastily dock could easily ram the system into those things. I feel like I'm playing operation whenever I take that thing out, since I'm just making certain I don't hit the plastic bumpers without a screen protector. Here's a picture where you can see one of them. There's one on all 4 corners of the opening.

I understand it's something only a minority of users will experience, but Nintendo can patch this I'm sure...it's almost like the tv assumes it's on because it's docked, I believe the Switch is trynna sends signal to the tv even when it's sleep. Or maybe Samsung can fix it. Either way it's not a deal breaker for me. Gonna mess around with Switch and TV settings before then.

Yeah, I can already see my son slamming his in to this thing, and causing issues. Hopefully a better 3rd party one is made available by Christmas, so I can get one and avoid the damage I know that will happen sooner or later.
The good news is I'm sure he'll play mostly in handheld mode, so If he can just plug this in and charge it with a USB cable, we should be good either way. The only time he uses the TV with his Wii U, is when a game doesn't offer off screen play, and the NS should never have that issue.

Is your Skinomi wet or dry install?this is all the stuff i ended up getting for my switch yesterday.
I'm glad they included a dark theme, it's very nice.
You guys are making me want to buy Bomberman and Snipperclips D: Must resist for now. I want to pick up Bomberman used.
Here was my haul. The pro controller is unnecessary for now but feels great overall. Glad I got a bunch of this stuff with the Visa Checkout promo.
Thanks for this tip. I don't really think I'll be scratching it but better safe than sorry.

Sweet, they make the best full body skinning products around. Your one of the few people I've ever found that uses the "wet" install products, as most are to scared to use liquid around their electronic devices, but it gives the best finished product/appearance in my honest opinion.
Make sure you check the Skin warning I posted above, as there seems to be some case quality issues where a skin may cause problems depending on where it is placed, and if it is going to be removed.

Considering how simple the dock is, I could imagine someone designing a new one to use the same internals on Thingiverse (for self 3d printing) or kickstarter. I'm surprised Nintendo didn't rubberize or include felt on the internals of the dock.

Well, that SnipperClips pack-in is nice when the NA bundle launches.
so all NA bundle launches, have a code for the full game of snipperclips? does this include NA bundles no matter what color? i heard about this but i havent seen anybody confirm this yet.

Yeah, this is all I think my son will need, or me for that matter, as I don't see using the TV features either, and a simple charging dock is all I need. They can keep that $60 dock.

im actually printing this right now. i will post a pic later tonight after my son's birthday party.
I probably should have checked before suggesting myself... been too busy playing Zelda, but they have a few charging dock options http://www.thingiverse.com/search/page:1?sort=relevant&q=nintendo+switch&type=things
Kinda wish someone had a fully modeled version of the current dock, so people could play and mod from there.

Yesterday, I stopped by a local Toys "R" Us about 4-5 minutes before opening and managed to get one!
They had 10 Grey Consoles and I got number 7. Picked up Zelda there along with the Console and then later in the day picked up the Charging Grip & Pro Controller at scattered Gamestop & Target stores.

I don't think this many people would realistically buy Bomberman if it wasn't a launch title and a game people needed to hold them over for the next slew of games.
Well, it's also supposed to be a limited release. Think Konami took advantage of that and in a few months I think it may be near impossible to find at retail.
I would have bought it anyways since it's the closest thing to Saturn Bomberman's 10 player party mode!

"Not sure if this has been mentioned, but wired internet in handheld works."

Neat
I cannot recommend Bomberman R even for the co-op for $50/$40 after buying it.
Worth noting that the online has huge delay lag.
Local multiplayer is fun, I had a chance to try 6 players on a large tv.

My Switch finally arrived with today's mail. I decided to not be squeamish about the screen and went ahead and opened it up and got everything set up. It's working like a charm so far. The set up process was extremely fast, and for the most part quite easy. I appreciate the minimalistic interface, and I especially appreciate how fast and snappy it is. (one of the main drawbacks of the Wii U, that interface was SLOOOWWWW) For now it's resting comfortably in its dock, charging up. I'll pull it out later to enjoy some Zelda.
got a feeling a 3rd party video dock would work too.... if it supplies the proper power to it. My Microsoft Display Dock (for my phone) seems to detect the switch, but the switch doesn't kick into video out. My dock only pushes 5V at 3Amps (i think, the 3Amp part is correct) I don't want to risk plugging in the Switch's power adapter into my dock though to test my theory out. I should probably test the USB ports on my dock while plugged in though. maybe if I remember....

It's possible. It just depends on what kind of circuitry was added to the official Nintendo dock, and whether or not there is a lock-out chip in that thing. It's not the first time that Nintendo has pulled a stunt like that, so it's entirely possible that there is some manner of lock-out chip. The main thing about the video output on the Switch dock is that the Switch itself knows when it's plugged in, and switches the video signal over. This has something to do with the internals of the dock itself, as you can plug the power cable into the Switch itself for charging while playing, and it does not attempt to output the video.
If there's no lock-out tech in the dock, I would expect to see 3rd party video-enabled docks fairly soon. Otherwise, I wouldn't hold my breath. Power-enabled docks and stands will show up very soon, as there's nothing preventing these from happening, and at least some demand from the community given the response to the Switch's built-in stand. (which is admittedly on the flimsy side)

Honestly, my biggest problem with a lot of Switch launch window titles is the price for a lot of them that have either already been out for awhile or are not worth the price tag.
1/2 switch should have been a pack-in game and not $50 bucks for what you are getting.
Bomberman should have been $30 bucks, MAYBE $40 physical and not $50 out of the gate.
I am Setsuna has been on sale frequently on other devices and should have been $30 (Especially when they just had it on sale a couple of days ago for $23
Binding of Issac (while it was delayed) should be no more then $30, and can be bought way cheaper on other devices.
Lego City Undercover is going to be a full $60 game despite being out for the Wii U forever and being able to be found for less then $10 used (To be fair, this is also going to be the case with the PS4 and Xbox One versions apparently, still doesn't help the switch)
Ultra Street Figher II is going to be a $40 title despite the original HD Remix version only being $20 when it was released years ago and barely adding anything.
What sucks is I do want to pick up more titles for the Switch, but a combination of the poor launch state coupled with extravagant prices for titles that should NOT be this expensive makes me want to just hold off and play Zelda. They really should have held off the launch until May or June (I know they did it because they needed something on the shelves, but still).
I will say that at the very least there is enough Nintendo titles coming out within the next 6-8 months to keep me interested, and it does already have a far better long term launch line-up then the Wii U did when it launched.

Agree 1000000%
No argument here... Did get it for $40 (prime discount) so it was easier for me to justify
Yup! Hate how physical and digital is always the same price at launch. Digital titles should be $5-10 less (that does NOT mean raise MSRP, but just charge less for digital versions)
Wasn't it a Wii U launch title?
But, but, but........... Buying it regardless.... need a fighter for a 12 flight in september....
This I disagree with....Most systems have crap launch lineups. At least with a game like Zelda, that can easily take up a majority of time, not to mention it seems that more titles will be coming out slowly over the next few weeks, They could have released every game they had planned for this month alone yesterday, but by staggering the release, it gives people time to enjoy their games and if they want more, then awesome. Me, I try to never buy more than 2 games at any given time, as I would probably never get to them both. I really want to play Fast RMX and Setsuna (really wanted the US vita version, but they cancelled it before release, so a portable Setsuna on the switch works for me) but waiting to kill more Bokoblins in Zelda 1st....
Also, what I do find interesting.... It seems like Indies are going to be flooding the switch for the 1st couple of months, with a few being exclusive or timed exclusives, which is neat.

Good afternoon guys! Love my switch, I still played my ps4 last night but between rainbow six rounds I was actually playing Zelda undocked. Really love the quick start up and I feel that the system runs very good even undocked.
I had trouble unfortunately with a strap, I didn't realize that both straps were universal and I put it on backwards on a joycon. Now that joycon isn't snapping on and off so easy, whatever I suppose. Does anyone know how long I can wait to buy the warranty from best buy? I'm elite.
Also I can't seem to get Bomberman to work as 3 players? The main reason I picked it up was to play that with my son and wife. Has anyone got the chance to try Fast Rmx?

While I agree with most of your points, I have to disagree here. Rebirth itself (the base game) is $15, and I believe Afterbirth and Afterbirth+ are $11 and $10 respectively full price. That's $36 base price, plus the manual, stickers, etc. in the physical version. On top of that, the Switch will be the first handheld/console version to get Afterbirth+; the 3DS, Wii U, and Vita versions never even got the first expansion.
It's easy to look at the graphics and playthrough length and assume it's not even worth half the asking price, but I can guarantee it's 100% completion time is a good deal longer than that of Breath of the Wild.

Are you selecting Multiplayer Battle? I made the mistake of trying "Local Battle" which wouldn't let more than 2 controllers join because that's how you play with multiple Switches in the same room.
sneaking Zelda in at work..... weekend are dead, and I'm the only one in office...
out of boredom, and zelda breaks, plugged the switch into my phone (Windows 10 mobile) and....i didn't get an invalid device error, but, all it did was attempt to charge the switch. yes, i am plugging in everything I can find
we already know USB network drives work
flash drives... nothing.
USB keyboards DO work for text entry!!!! just tried in the eshop search field! number keys on the right do not work... (yes, num lock is on)
No go with a USB mouse
