## Description

Tired of your boring old gray standard color? This is the way to go! Great customization option for DIY enthusiasts with a Switch. Read Before Purchase: 1. Please don’t wrongly think this is a Switch console. This is a front shell for Nintendo Switch console without any electronic parts. The console, joycon, buttons and other parts are not included. Console front frame only, the joycon housings are not included! 2. Requires customers to take apart the console to replace the original front shell. Requires customer with high electronic installation experience. Get installation video guide on You Tube by searching "eXtremeRate front shell for Nintendo Switch Console". Installation Tips: Installation difficulty: High Time spent: 1 hour or more Patience needed: High Go slow. Check every connection. Keep your screws organized. Watch a Youtube video on how to do it though, pausing and replaying often. When removing the Switch outer screws make sure you are using the correct screwdriver. Be careful not to strip the triangle screws or over-tighten any screws. Use tweezers instead of bulky fingers at all time to help with the little pieces that you'll take to move to the new case. Please confirm all the needed screws are removed and the circuit is cut off, then pick up the PCB board. Be careful to use a heat gun or hair dryer to help you get the touchscreen off the old shell. Note that the temperature of the heat gun should not be much high. Use light hot wind to evenly heat the edges of the screen. Please remember not to forcibly lift the screen to avoid damaging the touchscreen. Package Includes: 1x Face plate for Nintendo Switch console 1x Volume up/down buttons 1x Power button 1x Game card tray 1x Prying tool 1x Triwing screwdriver 1x Cross screwdriver 37x Screws Note: The console and other parts are not included!

Review: The shell looks great, no complaints there! Just a word of warning, the front shell is a lot more labor intensive than the back shells or joycons. I learn this the hard way 😅
Review: Everything seems about perfect for me. I actually used the included screwdriver(s), even though I already have a few sets. I watched a video on YouTube on my tablet while I did the installation. I had to rewind and pause the video a couple times but I just took my time and didn’t break anything. I also have years of experience disassembling electronics so I’m sure that might have helped. People who complain about the screwdrivers don’t understand that you have to apply pressure while unscrewing those screws or they most likely will strip. The only part that confused me was which way to put the power button in. It seems like I got it though. The switch looks great and some people think it’s a limited edition. I used a blow dryer to heat up the edges of the screen and used the included suction cup to pull it out. Once again, you have to take your time. This is really a must if you have replaced the backplate because it looks kinda dumb just to replace the backplate and the front plate is still black. I ordered the front and back at the same time. It takes a little over an hour to complete. The only real problem was the kickstand.: I had to soak it in hot water from my Keurig to soften it up so I could straighten it out because it was warped, but after I was done it was fine. Both kits included a whole set a screws and a really nice screwdriver(s).

An awesome way to customise your switch, it's so easy to swap the back plate but only someone commited will swap the front half of a switch
