   So this is the second shell swap on a Steam Deck that I’ve done; it was way easier/less nerve-wracking this time. For this build I used gold buttons (the white stock ones it comes with are really nice though and I used a couple pieces of the white). Used white caps for the joysticks and I used high temp flat white spray paint for the metal plates that go behind the grills & the back plate screws. In my opinion the black doesn’t look great, and if you’re going for an all-white deck, it’s a definite game changer and beautiful upgrade. Definitely recommend eXtremeRate products, I’ve used them for all of my Xbox & Steam Deck shell swaps and they have never disappointed. Great fit, user friendly & beautiful product overall.

   La qualité rien a dire, la pose doit être fait avec minutie, surtout pour l’écran, j’ai pas osé décoller l’écran de peur de le casser, pour les super bricoleur, pour un novice, je ne le conseil pas, je suis pourtant quelqu’un qui fait beaucoup de montage démontage mais là c’est minutieux et la garantie saute en même temps…

   These looked great in the photos and I’m happy to say they do not dissapoint when you recieve them.

   These sheel replacements look and feel great. A fun way to make your steam deck stand out. The plastic feels high quality and the colouring (I order the Chameleon Purple/Blue) looks outstanding. It’s not simply two tones, but actually has a pearlescent quality where the colours appear to shift from Blue to Purple depending on the angle of the light.

   Includes several useful tools for making the replacement which is helpful. I would reccomend using plastic guitar pick rather than the metal one include. The metal one should work fine but a plastic one is a bit safer. Everything you need to complete the shell replacement is included in the box.

   5.5/5

   Everything is superb! Took around 4 hours for a noob like me to switch everything up, but overall result is astonishing!

   I’m absolutely obsessed with the final product and ultimately have no regrets about doing this but here’s some advice before you buy if you’re looking for it: -Be mentally and financially prepared to replace your screen if necessary. The hardest part of this was not damaging the screen, and even after reading a lot of advice and watching vids I was extremely close to damaging mine multiple times while I was trying to remove it. On top of almost cracking it, I also almost separated the screen from its component because it’s seriously the tiniest space you need to pry the glue away from, if you go too far in you’re going to damage it. I took a picture of the back of my screen to try to help. DO NOT SHOVE TOOLS IN FARTHER THAN THE OUTER BLACK LINE. -If you don’t think you damaged your screen but it won’t turn on once you plug it in and turn the console on, go back in and shove the screen to mother board ribbon cable in a little harder than you think you should. -I wasn’t able to swap my track pads. Even with a heat gun I couldn’t separate the chips from my old track pads. I’m just using a skin on mine which I think looks just fine, but heads up it’s not easy to make the swap. -The tools sent with this are a little sub par. Like many other reviews I also recommend getting the ifixit iopener kit. -There is no thermal paste included with either of the kits (this one or the iopener). In the extremerate video they tell you to take your heatsink/fan off of your motherboard during teardown. I strongly recommend either leaving it all stuck together or purchasing thermal paste to reseal your heatsink during reassembly. The MB and cooling system really don’t have to be disconnected to remove or replace them safely. -The finish on my case is similar to a soft touch joycon. I love it and find it comfortable, but I know that’s not for everyone! -I have medium-low tech experience and this took me about 7 hours all said and done. Ultimately if you have the time and you’re willing to pay for your mistakes I really do recommend performing the reshelling with this brand 🙂

   Incase anyone is wondering if these replacement shells are compatible with the new model of the Steam Deck with the new motherboard layout, it fits just fine. While there are some differences on how the new motherboard is laid out and the removal of one of the sound boards ribbon cable, it doesn’t have any impact on how it sits in the shell so it fits just fine. As has been stated, the included tool to remove the display is useless. It wasn’t a big deal for me since I had already purchased the slightly higher quality etched glass panel from ifixit that I was going to replace it with anyway. But if you plan to reuse the current display on your deck, get a proper display removal tool. I am well skilled at these types of procedures but it still took a good hour or more to do. Plan to set aside some time to do this swap. Cons: When putting the back shell on after finishing the job, I noticed that it snaps together a bit too tightly. So tight in fact that I fear that if I should ever need to take it apart again, it will be a bit of a struggle. Pros: The final product after all was done is a premium looking and feeling device. Well worth the price and time needed to do this swap and I feel like I accomplished something by the time I was done.
