## Description

desertcart.com: eXtremeRate Transparent Clear Custom Faceplate Back Plate Shell for Steam Deck LCD, Handheld Console Replacement Housing Case, DIY Full Set Shell Buttons for Steam Deck - Console NOT Included : Video Games

Review: Very nice shell, but a complicated swapping process - Very impressed with the quality and fit of this shell. Everything is molded exactly the same size and dimensions as the Valve shell originally. It looks great, has a fantastic feel and surface finish, the buttons all fit together perfectly and work as expected, the instructional video is *very* thorough and good. I'm particularly impressed with the detail of the shell, it includes replacement and color correct pieces for every single button, including the power/volume buttons, trackpad covers, the shoulder buttons, etc. Most of the time I've seen console replacement shells they usually only replace the "main" parts they can get away with. This is a super thorough kit! My only complaints, if any, are that the screws given with the kit are just jumbled together in a single bag and it's very difficult to tell which ones are supposed to be used where. That said - and this is absolutely no fault of the replacement shell - this is a *really* intricate process to totally disassemble the Deck. Valve made the thing pretty repair friendly, the entire console can be disassembled with screws, *except* the screen. The screen is adhesion-ed on to the console, removing it is a stressful and frustrating process, and you risk damaging/breaking the screen in a couple ways. There's also quite a few fragile ribbon cables inside with very small and finicky latches, pay attention to how the latches are flipped up and the cables removed, don't yank on them too hard! The instructional video included with the kit is REALLY good, it's also REALLY long, don't skip it, don't try and find some shortcut, spend the time to sit down and follow along. A few tips from my swap: - Keep your screws really organized, I have a magnetic screw organizer mat, but some small bowls or piece of cardboard with some tape on it also works great. Don't mix the screws up! - When you remove the screen, be VERY careful not to stick the guitar pick/spudger too far under the screen, the instruction video says "don't do more than 3mm" but doesn't explain _why_ - the ribbon cable connecting the screen's panel to it's controller is very close to one of the side edges, it's very easy to damage especially when you're jabbing in there with a metal pick to try and pry the screen loose. Damage that cable and you'll need a whole new screen!!! - Replacing the trackpad covers is the only other really difficult part, the trackpad sits on a funky wavy spring along with it's vibration motor for the haptics feedback, then the cover with the actual "tracking" part is snapped on top, there's several ribbon cables and sensitive springs around it, so go slow and take your time! Use a hair dryer or heat gun to warm up the top of the trackpad before removing it from the adhesive - Highly recommend getting a couple nicer spudgers or guitar picks for disassembly, the ones included in the kit are pretty cheap
Review: Amazing, and super cool look!! - I was a little scared to try and open up my my favorite handheld pc! But I built up the courage and did it. It was a long and tedious process, but it got done. The buttons feel so good, just like OEM buttons, and screws that came with the kit honestly are a very good quality. I lost a couple of my OEM and the ones that came in the kit for it perfectly! Honesty if you are thinking about getting this or another brand, get eXtremeRate! Even there videos online were easy to follow, just an FYI though, this little project will take you between 3-5 hours.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Awesome looks despite some minor flaws
*by M***L on December 3, 2025*

Looks good, cheap in price, comes with necessary tools, and the instructions were simple enough to install. My only complaints are (1) shell cracked/split on the front/underneath the screen, and (2) the provided grip buttons don't seem to give a positive click when installed. I ended up using the black grip buttons from the original steam deck shell (had to drill them out with a 1/8 inch bit) and everything is better. I would buy this shell again and recommend it to a friend.
