eXtremeRate Transparent Clear Console Back Plate DIY Replacement Housing Shell Case for Nintendo Switch Console with Kickstand - JoyCon Shell NOT Included

I purchased the atomic purple backplate and was very pleasantly surprised by its quality and aesthetics. It looks great on the switch, and with the right tools will be very easy to install, provided you do not strip the screws.The product now includes a different screwdriver to the ones pictured in the product listing, and is now one screwdriver base with separate 2 heads (Y & Phillips) that can be swapped out as required. I received the base, which is also much nicer than I was expecting, but unfortunately did not receive the 2 screwdriver heads. After contacting ExtremeRate, they stated that this was a mistake on their behalf, and they very quickly & kindly offered to rectify the matter. I cannot fault the product's quality or the customer service provided.I would suggest using new or hardly used Y-head screwdrivers to complete this swap, as more 'blunt' screwdrivers will strip the screws. Do not strip the screws in the back of the switch - it is incredibly difficult to remove them once they have been stripped. This is no fault of the product, it is a fault of the screw heads that Nintendo use in their consoles.

In terms of fit and finish it's perfect normally with aftermarket shells they need some persuasion to get to fit, this one drops in to the replace easily the old seams are perfect no edges. The plastic quality seems good. Only thing to watch out for is you do have to transplant over a couple things from the old shell just the cartridge door cover and the hinge mechanism from the original shell.

Looks phenomenal when installed but I'd suggest buying/borrowing a precision screwdriver set if you don't have one as the ones that came with it did start to strip a few screws before I borrowed some better ones.Kind of cool it comes with spare screws, especially if you can't reuse the old ones, but I didn't use them in the end.

I've bought other versions of this shell and they have been much worse, both in terms of colour (this shell is much more deeper in colour) and longevity (the plastic in this shell is much thicker and akin to the OEM plastic of the original switch).The previous shell I bought from other sellers was weak and as a result had started to crack and fall apart, whereas this green set feels more sturdier and has been on my switch for quite a while now.Parts that came with it like screwdrivers and replacement screws are perfect and there's plenty of optional parts such as new buttons that match the case, except I kept the original buttons as they contrast nicely with the green. However I did use the shoulder buttons that came with the new set and they're perfect too.Really happy with this shell and feels very sturdy. I wouldn't risk any other sellers, this one is the best I've tried and I've tried many of them!

I got this as my Switch is autographed (looking back, not the greatest idea, was a spur of the moment) and I decided to protect it better.Decided against a lacquer a friend said was easy to replace the back.This back cover came with extra screws, a screwdriver, and instructions, and was easy to replace the original cover.Points to note:- You have to use the Kick Stand mechanism, and Cartridge Cover mechanism too, but this is explained.

Screwdriver was great for the package then one of the Y tips snapped.the hinge uses a really cheap plaster latch, clipped on twice then the clips broke completely so had to use original black kickstand

Installation was quick and easy, materials feel durable. Absolute bargain.

The built in tools are not very good, and I ended up using my own screwdriver. The case is made out of low quality plastic where the screw points lost their threading after removing them a few times, not to mention that the fitting is not the same as the original backplate so there's quite a sharp edge on the bottom of the case which can be quite uncomfortable depending on how you hold your switch. The kickstand that came with the case to match also did not work at all, and I had to use the black kickstand that came with the switch, which was better, but still had issues with this backplate

Fit like a glove, the extra screws are a life saver as some of my original were lostLooks great

It's a great replacement just watch a tutorial on YouTube on how to assemble and make sure you follow it step for step or might forget to put the little foam pads in place and then your joycons won't work wirelessly like I found out the hard way other then that easy to install and make sure you have a small bowl to put the screws in so you don't lose them.

I was expecting a lesser quality product, since we're on amazon and you never know what you get.But i was POSITIVELY surprised. The product was delivered with nice and secure packaging, spare screws for literally everything, and a decent quality bit-holder (didn't use the bits delivered with, since i have tools at home)It was easy to assemble, and while doing so i noticed that the plastic is less brittle than the original from Nintendo. I'm happy with this.
