Review on Enhance Your Nintendo Switch Console with eXtremeRate Clear Atomic Purple Back Plate: Full Set Buttons & Controller Housing Replacement Shell DIY Kit by Dan Reggae

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great way to personalize your switch

I really like these skins. They're durable, stand up to heavy use, and really add some personality to your Switch. I have attached a picture of three switches, 2 with housings and 1 bearing. A word of caution, as others have said, this is NOT the easiest of projects. Over the years I've swapped out iPad screens and disassembled MacBooks and iMacs as well as various other electronics. While it's not as hard as some of these projects, it's definitely there. There are some very small screws and the right tools are key to avoid damaging these screws. I used a lying around kit from iFixIt. Patience is the key. I would say it took me 1 1/2 to 2 hours for the first try. I used the Brightech LightView PRO, a LED desk lamp with a magnifying glass, which helped a lot. Recommended for experienced technicians. I've also included two pro controllers with aftermarket skins for color reference. The light gray controller goes well with the SNES skin.

Pros
  • Great overall performance
Cons
  • Almost everything is fine
