To be fair, that really isn't a smart way to package sensitive electronics. Anyone who's bought a phone knows that it's cased within layers of cardboard and foam. Putting the screen so close to the surface is just asking for some kind of damage to happen.
Maybe I'm just a jaded fanboy who's ticked off at the big N right now, but I'd say they bear the lion's share of blame for what happened here.
Nah. Counterpoint, the packaging works as it’s there to protect the device during normal transport and no one mass complained about receiving cracked switch 2 screens. It’s not there for you to staple what looks like a larger than normal staple into the packaging.
Im actually on Ns side because ive done packaging for transport and logistics considerations before. And people will always do stupid shit and blame it on packaging
Also when was the last time phones came with styrofoam? Cause a polyfoam wrapper isn’t going to stop a stapler. And even i rarely see those in tablet and phone cases anymore
What foam insert are you referring to then. The most common is polyfoam and styrofoam but only one is used in phones and tablets but it won’t stop a stapler. If you have a third foam, you can let me know
Having a reasonable buffer area between the tech and the side of the box would, in fact, stop a stapler. This is why monitors, TVs, phones and tablets are usually packaged in boxes two-to-three times as deep as they need to be. To provide this reasonable margin for error. The type of buffer used is irrelevant, other than you trying to make me seem stupid, which I do not appreciate.
I assume he meant those thick foam like paper cartons that are in nearly all electronics packages that don't use styrofoam, and yes, either would stop a stapler because it normally puts more space than the length of a staple blade between the item and the outside.

You're the only one who said styrofoam.
