eXtremeRate Clear Atomic Purple Back Plate for Nintendo Switch Console, NS Joy con Handheld Controller Housing with Full Set Buttons, DIY Replacement Shell for Nintendo Switch

Fits perfectly and works exactly as it should. The quality is great, and the clear atomic purple design looks amazing on the Switch. Easy to install and gives the console a unique, retro vibe. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to customize their Switch.

The installation took me roughly 2 hours and this is from someone who has a lot of disassembly experience and has already taken joy cons apart before. But this is not an issue at all, just something you should be aware of. The installation was pretty straightforward, the worst part was taking apart the triggers but had no major issues. I'm very glad this kit came with so many spare screws and springs as I had to use quite a few of these! The screwdriver was fine, I ended up using a different set for the installation however as the bits kept falling out but I think this would be fine if you didn't have any alternatives. I didn't like the clear buttons and they weren't up to the same standard as the shells so I decided to opt for using my original black buttons which I think looks a lot better. The shell fits really well together however and I'm excited to see how well it hold up over time as my original shell wore down and went shiny quite quickly. I did have one small issue, a few days after I had been using the system, one of the screws on my joy con came so loose it was sticking out, I haven't encountered this again but this is maybe due to me using the stock screws from my original joy cons instead of the screws included with this kit.

Excellent quality, the screwdrivers worked well for me. For the joy cons I followed a great tutorial on YouTube by Lily & Beba Play which avoided removing any ribbons which was great. My switch looks absolutely fantastic now and feels as good as it did before

Really cool looking, good quality case kit. Comes with the tools needed to install, which was a great bonus. However... the y00 screwdriver fittings teeth wore against the screws and needed replacement. Not a major issue to add a replacement. Can be a very fiddly process on the joycons definitely worth watching some YouTube tutorials first. Came with multi coloured replacement front facing buttons, but I kept the original black for effect. A shame there weren't any available in the same colour plastic too, or for the bumpers/triggers. Added bonus - you can see the joycon lights through the case which is great!!

The finish on this is perfectly smooth and very, very high quality. Many screws kept going around when tightening though, and you probably want to smooth out the tiny bits that stay on the pieces once you take it out of the mould! There is simply no competitor with this quality to be honest. Would totally recommend to any of my friends looking into modding their switch into something wayy cooler looking. Be aware, manual installation is hard because what the product is of course: A literal replacement to the original plastic casing of the Switch. It took me a handful of hours and video watching. eXtremeRate uploaded a vid to youtube showing the process. Welcome yourself to it.

not to hard to fit the screwdriver supplied with it was quite good ended up using it for most of the install i did the shell as while i was doing a digitiser replacement, stick replacements the ribbon cable in joycons are super fragile if its your first time installing a shell and you damage a cable you don't have to worry too much you can get the ribbon cables for a few quid,

As recommended by other reviewers, I discarded the tools and instructions provided and instead used the iFixit kit I already had (no affiliation) and their instructions. It was extremely fiddly and took several hours, but once I got the left joycon done (probably you should do that one first too) I was in the swing of it and was able to do the right joycon a lot faster. The most difficult thing about the backplate was finding the screws, though protip on that one - the joycons use PH00 but the switch itself uses J000 which looks like a PH00 but absolutely isn't, so save yourself some trouble there. I ended up using the original buttons rather than the clear replacements it came with (plus a coloured button pack from the same seller) because IMO they look better, but that's an aesthetic choice. All in all I probably would have saved money and not bought the clear backplate since there's not very much to see through it, but it looks good together so I can't complain.

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)

Me tomó cerca de dos horas instalarlo, la herramienta que viene en el paquete es apta para los controles pero no para el switch (yo ya tenía otros desarmadores por lo que no fué problema), la calidad es excelente.

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

a bit of a finicky job especially as someone who has extremely shaky hands all the time. but i love how everything came out in the end. very high quality and only had a few slip-ups that were just my own mistake when reassembling everything in my joycon again. nothing to even do with what i actually purchased just my own little mistakes lol. buttons feel good and so do the joycons themselves! definitely will be purchasing from again for more modifications to my other controllers and switch dock! if you’re not familiar with doing anything like this i 100% recommend using a tutorial to guide with you. even IF you think you know. it’s still best to have it there to give you a little helping hand. i personally didn’t use the guide provided with QR code i presume. but any guide is helpful either way. just find one that you like and get to work! it comes with spare screws. springs and a screwdriver! everything you need.
