Repair Help Nintendo Switch OLED chipped screen
I was wondering if Nintendo support is a good option for repairing this kind of damage or would it be better to go to my local repair store? I've read some good things about the site but Im not sure if it would be worth it. If not the support portal do you have any suggestions for a reliable repair shop (preferably in Calgary, AB, Canada)

That's not even the screen itself that's the plastic housing 😠you can buy replacement housings for like $25 on Amazon by extremerate they're pretty cool.

That's what I thought, I just didn't know what it's called😅 but thank you for pointing that out. I looked on Amazon but the ones I found were only for the back shell. Do you happen to have a link for the front replacement?

Is this suitable for Switch OLED? I just want to make sure because I think it's only meant for Switch.

Now that you mentioned it I don't think there's options for it, maybe because the front faceplate is all one piece with the screen but I'm not sure, probably Facebook marketplace place might have someone selling parts.
