eXtremeRate Soft Touch Black DIY Replacement Shell for Nintendo Switch Lite, NSL Handheld Controller Housing w/Screen Protector, Custom Case Cover for Nintendo Switch Lite

Love how it turned out, but wow - it’s very tedious work.I followed the video tutorial, step by step and still managed to mess up. If it wasn’t for my fiance who helped me fix it, it would have completely bricked up since it didn’t turn on initially.Even if it’s a length process, don’t be afraid to take your time. Be patient and follow everything accordingly. My fiance pointed out that it was just little tiny things I overlooked or didn’t double check to make sure it was secure, so you need to be careful when installing.But, all in all, it definitely was worth the time & money. It looks and feel great.

While the matte colors come with a softer feel to the plastic (not in durability, just in texture) the shiny ones have a much sleeker feel to them that is just as wonderful. The colors look fantastic and the outcome is fantastic. All that being said, I do not recommend someone without experience fiddling with electronics try this. If you intend to regardless, please watch their tutorial video (its on youtube) and understand the potential consequences of your actions are your own. You could permanently damage your switch or need replacement parts if you arent careful. I surely don't want to scare anyone out of doing it - Im 21 with only hobbyist experience and I've done it twice just fine - but it is a time sink you have to get done in one go (4 hrs nonstop was my original time but 40 mins of that was my own fault) and there may be consequences to not being careful.Having your own customized switch is a lot of fun, though, and fantastic when you get to show it off to your friends. Great quality, fantastic color, but be informed.

While It may seem like an arduous task to disassemble your switch lite completely, with the right tools which were included with the product, and a YouTube tutorial, it took around 1-2 hours to complete. While you shouldn’t rush the process the switch lite is not a complex. If you have built a 18+ LEGO set and or model gundam I guarantee you those are much more complex than a few screws and ribbon cablesTwo things to note I purchased a separate buttons from the same vendor and I also purchased Hall effect Joysticks instead of the stock OEMs.Another thing to consider to buy or have in hand before you start is, thermal Paste for the heat sink, and a heat gun (I’m sure a hair dryer or similar would work) for the LCD screen.I was worried about removing the battery but it doesn’t need to leave its socket unless you wanted to upgrade the Battery on the switch lite as well.I watched “Make Stuff Do More” channel on YouTube it’s a 40ish minute video and just followed step by step. For me it’s the most detailed and comprehensive Tutorial on YouTube and recommend it if you think you will have trouble. Great product and satisfied with the results.

I’m not super experienced with messing around in little tech things. The most I’ve done was replace the battery in my 6s successfully, but that’s about it. This kit was fairly easy to use and the process was enjoyable except for a few times but those things didn’t have much to do with this shell. I really like the result but I wish they’d included a little bit more for the tools.— For one, tweezers and a fine spudger would’ve been a great addition. They’re very much essential and I wouldn’t recommend messing around with the delicate parts without a decent pair. I was able to get mine all together without having the righy tweezers and using my fingers in place of a spudger, but that is a little risky considering you could easily mess something up. I’m planning on buying a full Switch when I can anyway, so I decided to simply work with what I had. Would not recommend this method if you have a Lite you plan to keep.— I would’ve liked to see the included screws separated into labelled bags or something like that. This isn’t a negative, just something that would’ve been nice.— The screen protector wet wipe may need to be packaged differently or something. When I opened mine, both wipes were totally dry. I didn’t have any other wipes because I used my only alcohol pad to clean up the thermal paste. Maybe mine was just old? I’m not sure.Note to anyone that isn’t a God at not stripping tiny screws: You may need a screw extractor, a small dremel and a tiny flathead, or a cold heart for this. The project took longer than expected because I stripped a screw in my headphone jack board and couldn’t remove it no matter what I tried. Had to cut that corner of the PCB with my Xacto knife and take the loss. Thankfully, the system works fine either way, but I didn’t realize Switch screws were so soft. The mangled bit of the board caused a little issue with space so my Switch isn’t closed as tightly as it could be but I’m tired and I don’t care anymore. I’d recommend looking at removal videos before purchasing this kit just in case.Overall, I’m pleased with the outcome. My switch is pretty and I’ve fallen in love with it all over again. It feels silky and I love looking at it. Would certainly purchase again!

I love the way it turned out! Used black buttons and black bezel screen protector from the same brand and some new black switch joysticks. It was a much easier install than I thought it would be. The included tools weren’t the best but I had my own. I was mostly worried about the screen removal but with a heat gun and some patience, it came out perfectly. Love the soft feel of the plastic and the fitment was great. I’ve used other extremerate products for my ps5 controllers and the quality has always been excellent. I’d definitely recommend this shell and don’t be scared of the install. Follow a good guide like ifixit, use quality tools, and take your time.

The media could not be loaded. I absolutely love having a red switch. People don’t even notice it’s a switch half the time which I think is funny. The coloured buttons are a great throwback too. The case is smooth and sleek but that can also be its downfall as it is a bit slippery. The buttons work perfectly and the guy that installed it for me says it was easy to work with. Careful for scratches though as it does scratch somewhat easily. You DO need to open up the switch and do a bunch of electronic stuff to get it installed though, cost me a new screen so BE VERY CAREFUL when installing.

La carcasa encaja perfectamente, tenia un mod especifico en mente y ha quedado muy muy bien una switch lite negra con botones negros, tacto aterciopelado muy agradable.

Good fit, good quality. The color is really nice.I also used the ExtremeRate replacement buttons kit, and these are also really nice.The tutorial provided by ExtremeRate on YouTube is good.The only thing I did differently from the tutorial is changing the thermal paste, they didn't. It was probably not necessary.

So far so good

Bonne qualité mais pas fait pour un novice beaucoup de chose à démonter pour installer cette coque de switch
