eXtremeRate DIY Replacement Shell Buttons for Nintendo Switch, Back Plate for Switch Console, Housing with Full Set Buttons for Joycon Handheld Controller - Clear Atomic Purple [No Electronics Parts]

This new housing is great quality and I love the new refreshed look it gave my switch! It brings back old memories of when I have the Gameboy color with this style. The only issue I ran into was on my old case I had a broken stand/ sd card cover so I had to leave the new one off. But that isn't because of this, it's due to me. The joycons are a little time consuming to do but if you take your time they will turn out good. The actual housing of the switch was super simple and was 6 screws. In total it took us about 3 hours taking our time to replace it. I highly recommend this case for anyone wanting to give their switch a new look.

I’d never heard of this brand before, so I was a little trepidatious going in. I was very impressed with the overall fit and finish. The plastic is of high quality and feels durable, and the molds used are precise with close to OEM tolerances. There’s not a lot of overflash on the seams, so no sharp edges that would make it uncomfortable to use. I like that they include a set of all the screws and springs you’ll need, as I definitely lost one of the springs that braces a trigger while doing the swap. Installation is time consuming, but if you take your time and pay attention to the instructions, you won’t have problems. I recommend also checking out iFixit for some additional resources. As for gripes, there aren’t many, but chief among them is that the plastic where the screws go into is a little soft. Be sure to not over torque any screws as a result, stop tightening right when you feel a little resistance. I also wish it had come with replacements for the thin black shrouds around the joysticks, but I was able to harvest those from the old joycons.

This was a fairly easy project to do! Really gives your switch some personality and it looks great! The feel of it is a little smoother than the normal switch plastic but regardless it feels and looks great!

The product itself is fairly accurate to the orginal shell and looks amazing, however their are a few issues i had with it. First off this is a shell not a case if you dont know basic repair i'd suggest take the time to watch their video fully through before attempting to dissassemble the device as there are many small ribbon cables that are very easy to snap if you dont know where they are. As for the actual installation guide there isnt a whole manual in the box just a snazzy card with the website where they have a full in detail video on how to do it. Now during the installation they have you reuse certain parts from the orginal shell whitch is where my issue comes in, we got this shell as a replacement because the stand on the back was broken off at some point by the previous owner and the guide does have you reuse the part that holds that in there so we couldnt get the stand on, but overall not a dextrimental part to the whole shell. Other then that it came with plenty of replacement screws and springs incase you loose any and the old school colored buttons plus some regular black ones incase youd prefer either or so overall a beautiful shell, easy to install via the video (as easy as working on a nintendo device can be) and a surplus of extra parts so i enjoy it

I recently purchased the eXtremeRate DIY Replacement Shell Buttons for Nintendo Switch, specifically in the Clear Atomic Purple color, and I must say that I am incredibly pleased with the product. The replacement shell and buttons are of excellent quality, and they fit perfectly on my Nintendo Switch console and Joycon handheld controller. The clear atomic purple color gives my Switch a unique and eye-catching look, which I absolutely love. The installation process was straightforward, thanks to the easy-to-follow instructions provided by eXtremeRate. I was able to replace the shell and buttons without any issues, and it didn't take much time at all. The buttons themselves feel great to use, providing a satisfying click and responsive feedback. They have a nice texture, which enhances the overall gaming experience. One thing to note is that this product does not include any electronic parts, so it's important to keep that in mind before purchasing. However, if you're looking to give your Nintendo Switch a fresh new look and feel, the eXtremeRate DIY Replacement Shell Buttons are definitely worth considering. Overall, I highly recommend this product for anyone looking to customize their Nintendo Switch console.

Easy to install, my switch looks amazing

Great product for the price. I was impressed with the build quality of the shell. They definitely used a high grade plastic. It looks mint like it was a special edition console. Everything fit perfect on this. Great company would buy from again in the future. Tip: Be very careful when disassembling the Joy cons from the old shell. The ribbon cable locks are prone to break if you’re too rough. Watch a YouTube video from iFixit it will help you out. I also recommend cleaning the metal back plate with some isopropyl alcohol to remove dust.

I am extremely happy with this kit. From the beginning the packaging surprised me. I was expecting it to come wrapped on plastic, but it came nicely packaged in a box. I bought this because I needed to replace my 8 year old battery and fan, so I decided to replace the shell while I had it apart. The back was simple enough with a few screws, but the Joycons took about 2 hours each (I also replaced the drifting joysticks with Hall Effect sticks). I didn't use the included tools because of the bad reviews I saw, which is a shame because the screwdriver handle is machined aluminum, but apparently the bits are too. Instead I used a cheap IFixIt knock off kit I purchased on Amazon years ago. The two tips you'll need are Y000 and a Phillips P000. I also didn't use the included screws, instead reusing the original screws. While the screws aren't marked , it's pretty easy to compare them sides by side with the original ones. At one point I did drop one of the screws and tried using an included screw for the Joycon shell, but I noticed that the screw was slightly too long and too wide, because I could see the plastic start to stress and turn white as I screwed it in. This probably won't be noticeable in solid colors, but stands out in translucent shells. It's not enough for me to take off a point, but definitely worth mentioning. You will also want a small plastic spudger to unclip the ribbons cables inside the Joycons. I think I paid less than $4 for a double-ended 10-pack with various ends. As for the shells themselves, they're are a perfect fit. I didn't use the included buttons except for SL/SR, but instead reused my black buttons and ordered a set of colored round buttons, also from ExtremeRate. One thing to note is that the buttons come on a runner like a model kit, and while they pop right off, sometimes they leave a little burr behind. This probably doesn't affect performance, but is easily filed or cut off with sandpaper, a hobby knife/nippers, or just a pair of nail clippers if that's all you have laying around. My biggest complaint about this whole process is their video tutorials. They include a QR code to their YouTube video which shows how to disassemble and reassemble the shells, but there is only music, no verbal instructions. I ended up finding a few other videos from YouTubers that went into more detail. Overall, none of these issues are big enough for me to knock off any points, so I give it 5 stars and recommend it to anyone eh wants to refresh their Switch.

Complicatissima da montare, priva di istruzioni complete e chiare, ho rotto un joycon assemblandolo

Returned the item because the included screwdriver did a horrible job unscrewing the screws and stripped them.

The clear like green with black console go so hard 🔥 The screwdriver quality could be improved as it is easy to strip screws if you're not careful. The video on the YT channel is good enough as a guide, still you should be very organized to be able to put each screw back in its place. (I didn't use the spare screws or buttons that came in the set)

Esta Perfecta Y Ya Puesta Se Ve Increíble, Aunque faltan herramientas que no vienen incluidas y hay que saber tener paciencia y los conocimientos necesarios

Luce increíble y no fue difícil de instalar, lo mejor es que incluye los tornillos necesarios, bastante útil pues es muy común que falten tornillos en la pata trasera cuando se cae con facilidad, en mi caso la anterior carcasa se termino rompiendo (de otra marca, y seguramente fue por problema mio) así que los repuestos de tornillos fueron bastante útiles
