YouTuber JerryRigEverything has uploaded his Nintendo Switch 2 durability test, and was surprised at the results after it passed his test with only one major flaw.
His videos largely focus on phones, but he often includes other major releases like the Steam Deck and Nintendo Switch.
The Nintendo Switch 2 was released on June 5, 2025, and JRE quickly uploaded his durability test.
The YouTuber quickly discovered that the Switch 2 scratches just about everywhere, including the screen, with ease.
Plastic objects, however, like my Lego or the docking station, won’t leave any marks.” (Topic starts at 2:04 in video) Switch 2 passes JRE durability test Despite the plastic screen being easily scratched, the Switch 2 still passed JerryRigEverything’s durability test, partially thanks to how Nintendo attached the Joy-Con 2.
YouTuber JerryRigEverything posted his Nintendo Switch 2 durability test, and he was shocked to see that it passed with just one serious defect.
Whenever a new major gadget is released, YouTuber JerryRigEverything is forced to test it through a battery of tests to determine its durability.
Although the majority of his videos are about phones, he frequently mentions other significant releases, such as the Nintendo Switch and Steam Deck.
After the June 5, 2025, release of the Nintendo Switch 2, JRE promptly posted his durability test. Despite one significant flaw, the YouTuber was taken aback by how powerful the handheld is.
The screen of the Nintendo Switch 2 is prone to scratches.
In his videos, JerryRigEverything tests various aspects of durability, such as heat resistance, scratch resistance, and even the Joy-Con 2 attachment points.
It was not long before the YouTuber realized that the Switch 2 easily scratches almost everything, including the screen.
He stated, “You’ll quickly notice that Nintendo has given us a plastic screen.”. This is not the best situation. My keys demonstrate that anything metal that comes into contact with this screen will, in fact, leave a mark. However, plastic items, such as the docking station or my Lego, won’t leave any traces. “”.

The JRE durability test is passed by Switch 2.
The way Nintendo connected the Joy-Con 2 helped the Switch 2 pass JerryRigEverything’s durability test even though the plastic screen was easily scratched.
Jerry tried to bend the tiny piece of plastic that connected the magnetic joycons to the actual console because everyone on social media, including himself, was worried about it when they were first revealed.
“The Joy-Cons just kind of pop off on their own when a lot of force is applied,” he said. In my view, this is a positive development. No matter how often the Joy-Cons are forcefully removed from the console backwards or violently torn off, the angle at which they bend doesn’t seem to harm the internal pins.
It disconnects at an angle that is mild enough to avoid disturbing or over-flexing the port. Although I had my doubts, I’m much more convinced now that the Switch 2 can withstand daily life after handling it and feeling how the Joy-Cons connect. “”.

Jerry concluded the video by stating, “The Nintendo Switch 2 passes my durability test a lot better than I thought it would.”.
