The original Switch had a non-laminated, air-gapped display—a rarity these days, but it makes for cheap and easy cracked screen repairs. On a drop-prone mobile device, this goes a long way toward making repairs affordable.

So how does the Switch Lite fare?

A little heat and prying is all it takes to coax the display assembly from the frame—so far so good.

With a bit more convincing, the digitizer/screen separates from the display. Success! The Switch line's record remains intact.
