Disappointed, twice. (Updated)
Just received this item. I'm not installing it so I cannot comment on that aspect of the product.As for the item itself, here's THE BAD:The faceplate is NOT identical to the image shown here. It's not a million miles off, however my 2 main issues are as follows.The image is slightly off-centre compared to the Amazon image. It cuts off the water lying in the foreground of the mountain, under the d pad and right thumb stick, and I feel ruins the aesthetic of the plate and the image it's based on. As a result, the mountain just looks like more waves, albeit oddly shaped.My second complaint is that there is a section painted white at the upper left edge of the plate, which isn't shown on the product image, nor is it part of the art this is based on, which leads me to believe it's a bad print.In addition to this, there are a couple of spots where the texture is slightly gritty. Considering this product is held in the hands at all times and labelled as soft touch, again it's a bit of a let down.Here's THE GOOD:Aside from my complaints above, the overall quality of the item is decent. It has a nice smooth texture, for the most part, and the product image is colour-accurate.It feels sturdy and unlikely to crack easily.Despite not being pictured, the faceplate comes with a prying tool not essential but very handy for popping off 2 panels on the rear of your controller, during installation.I really wanted to love this item.I will return it and hopefully order a replacement which will be closer to the product images displayed.If necessary I'll update this review.UPDATE.Well my original complaints still stand with the replacement.The image is set ever so slightly higher compared to the last one I received, bit still not a match for the product image.And the white streak in the upper left corner is even bigger on this one.NO gritty sections on the paint finish on this one, at least, which is an improvement.I've fitted the replacement, not a difficult job, however:Do not expect this to fit as flush as the original faceplate the controller comes with.The most obvious parts are a noticeable gap along the top of the face plate and the bumpers, as well as a larger cut for the d pad.These issues are hard to illustrate in photos, due to the back of this faceplate being black and my second controller being black, but with the naked eye you can absolutely see the the glint of metal inside the controller, as well as the light the Home button emits, when on.Hugely disappointed, would not buy another one of these.If you care about detail at all, AVOID this product.

Good, but fitting is a PITA
Reasonably well made, but not as accurate as the original. Shoulder buttons rub on it somewhere. Take your time and be prepared for swearing when you do the swap.

WOOD GRAIN EFFECT
This looks great and it wasn’t too difficult to fit. This faceplate has a soft feel finish and really does look twice the price once on. It looks stylish, and blends in with the living room (I’ve changed!). I’ve been wanting to mod mine since my son designed his own controller at Christmas so this was my chance. WORDS OF CAUTION: Don’t use a butter knife like I did though. I recommend getting a plastic spudger which won’t be expensive. It’ll also reduce the chance of you scratching any plastic. I didn’t scratch anything but it was a thought I had when half way through. The 5th screw is under the sticker in the battery housing. When putting it back together make sure the silver battery contacts are both in the housing and screw it back up. I am not techy or very diy minded and managed this in 15minutes.

A pleasant unexpected surprise.
After finding this product line which I had no idea it existed before a random chance finding, I decided to give it a go. The quality and feel of the cover is very positive. It really fits on the clicking points of the original back plate of the controller without any trouble and it is just as the original cover. Do some research on how to tear the controller apart before you do it for the first time it is a very straight forward procedure but looking into others doing it will help beforehand. I bought this theme as it is one of my all-time Japanese art paintings, I would give a to to any of the themes after my positive experience. Recommend.

Really nice
I brought 3 off these thay look really good the carbon style one is really nice . INVEST IN A SCREWDRIVER SET WITH T6 T7 ETC you can get them on amazon for about a tenner .the screwdriver sets come with everything you will need too open up controller, cus the screwdriver you get with it only opens up 1 screw on controller .and also when changing over faceplate take your time the screws are very small and get holed out very easily. Use the right screw driver for it . X one x controllers

Money saving upgrade
Son was harassing me for a new galaxy xbox pad - seen this for a fraction of the cost. Delivered quick - easy to fit following instructions on internet and finished product looks amazing. Everyone happy 😃

Great Wave of Kanagawa artwork inspired controller upper shell
Ok this looks the part! Quality of the print is amazing, I am not sure how long will it last but I will be damned it is super pretty. The finish is Matt and the advertising pictures are quite accurate. Important thing to note is remember to use the new screws provided these seems slightly smaller than the original ones. The plate fits great, and alligns well with all the buttons. Pretty and functional I have matched it with alu thumbsticks and it works pretty well ;)
