eXtremeRateGlacier Blue DIY Housing Shell for Nintendo Switch Console, Replacement Faceplate Front Frame for Nintendo Switch Console w/Volume Up Down Power Buttons - Console NOT Included

I got this front casing to fit on my Switch as I had already swapped out my Joycon shells and the rear casing of the Switch itself last year and at the time this part was not available.This is definitely not a project that you should rush as it does require complete disassembly of your Switch console (including using a heat gun to separate the screen from the original front casing) so make sure that you use the correct tools for the job (some tools are provided with the kit but you will need to provide you own heat gun or hair dryer for the screen separation).I would also suggest carefully following along with a tutorial video to make sure that you don't miss anything (take it slow and be careful) although it should be noted that the video I watched missed missed out the steps of transferring over the diffuser for the light sensor and also the 2 small adhesive speaker mesh panels from your old front casing into the new one.Now that my Switch is fully atomic purple I am really happy with the end result so if you don't mind a bit of tinkering and want your Switch to stand out from the crowd then I would highly recommend this and the other Switch mod kits from eXtremeRate!

Involves completely disassembling the switch and removing the very delicate LCD but it fits well once done.Not for the faint hearted and does not include new adhesive for the screen .

I bought this as my sons switch vent grill was badly damaged, the fit and finish of this product is perfect, as good if not better than the original. The tools supplied are better quality than the generic one you get else where.

Although it is quite complicated to install, it is totally worth it, it looks super cool on. Great quality.

The switch is passing down from our 13.5 year old boy to our 4.5 year old girl for Xmas. He didn’t look after it too well and had a lot of scratches and his left joy con was drifting, the joy cons also weren’t securing to the switch as strong as they used to. Came across ExtremeRate products on Amazon and realised I would be able to do a complete re-shelling and fix up of the console to make it more girly too.I have little to no experience when it comes to things like this but I have never been too afraid to open things up and give things a try.First of all, I replaced the drifting joy stick, then I swapped out the plastic clips for metal ones before starting on re-shelling the joy cons themselves. It look a little bit of examining and playing about to figure out how it comes apart and goes back together, but it was not overly complex.Then came the big job, the console itself. The new case came with a back shell but no front so I opted for white front shell to contrast the rear shell and compliment some of the white features of the new shell. I initially took apart the entire console, bit for bit, mapping out the screws as I went along. I ensured I was meticulous and slow. After doing that I realised that I could have just separated the digitiser screen from the front shell to expose the screws and not dismantle it all.I made I few little mistakes putting it back together, nothing too worrying, so ended up closing and re-opening the console a few times but after some persistence and care I got there.The trickiest part was removing the digitiser, it’s pretty well stuck down and I also didn’t use heat to soften it up but I was gentle and careful.I think the end results speak for itself. It looks amazing and has added a whole new life to a 4 year old console. The warranty is long gone so there was no risk of losing that anyway. The replacement parts are all high quality, even down to the tiniest of screws.I have now ordered some Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut to top up the thermal paste on the heat sink (as it was starting to look a little dried up) just to be sure and keep the console as cool as possible, so one more open up and job done in time for Xmas.Would highly recommend these products! If I can do it, you can too.
