    If you go to a corner of the screen and get your nail, or other tool, under the protector it should start to peel off. When it does start to come off you'll want to be careful not to bend it because it will crack and brake off forcing you to have to get your nail under it again.

    Forewarning, it can seem to not peel making it seem that it won't come off, but if you keep trying it should.

    When putting on the new screen protector, I must suggest that you do it somewhere with less dust. I did it on my bed and dust got under the screen protector and it leaves bubbles.

    Hope this helps.

    "Drop't"? Not "dropped"?

    What type of screen protector is it? Is it not a sticker?

    I am afraid it might not be the protector that cracked. It might be the actual screen.

    if it’s protector you put on I think you can take it off I once dropped my switch and the left joycon broke and made it so that joycon can only be used handheld

    Why are you asking us? If you put it on, can you not remove it? Did it not come with instructions?

    Can you not check the manufacturer's website? Maybe they have a support page?

    Try Googling it, if it hadn't destroyed its own algorithm yet. Or look on YouTube. Maybe there's a video telling you how to remove it.

    @TheJeffers why are you asking so many questions? I simply wan't to know:/ plus google is unhelpful and I don't have the instructions with me.

    if worst come to worst and it can’t be removed you can still transfer all data to another switch by transferring accounts and if you have a micro as card put it in the other switch

    @Specter478 I do not have enough information about a screen protector I have never seen before to help you. So I am asking questions that will either allow me to understand the problem and help or enable you to solve it yourself.

    I still do not understand how you can attach a screen protector and not know how to remove it. Or, if it is already broken, why not break the Switch out of it?

    So long as you are careful and do not damage the Switch, does it matter if an already broken protector is destroyed?

    I didn't even know they sold hard screen protectors. How does it work with the touch screen?
