It is common nowadays to see drop test of every new gadget coming to the market, and the new Nintendo Switch is no exception. YouTuber GizmoSlip worked hard until his new console stopped working, even though it never broke into pieces.

As you can see in the video, the hardware is pretty durable even without a screen protector or a rubber cover. The console fell against concrete 11 times in a row before the game stopped working. The sticks make for a good protection and break before the console itself, a good thing since they are detachable. However, the screen scratches easily.

How important is durability when it comes to the Switch in your opinion?
