A nightmare to install but worth the hassle.
This product takes about an hour to install and requires you to remove your screen, which needs a heat gun. If you don’t like tiny screws or possible heat damage to your system avoid it. If you are confident or have experience opening up Switchs this product looks great. Also, one you open it once, your confidence in opening it again skyrockets. I would do this again if a friend asked.

Quality product, clear concise directions
My Switch, which I purchased at launch, has been through the ringer – multiple moves, kids and various drops and falls. The shell was broken in multiple places and the left side controllers weren’t connecting or charging when attached. I spent a little over an hour installing this product using the YouTube video provided on their website. All the tools needed were included as well as extra screws in case any from the original equipment were missing (several were, in my case), with the reception of a heat gun, though a hair dryer worked just fine. Once installed (along with the back plate which I ordered from the same company) not only for the Switch feel like new, but the controllers were syncing and charging again, presumably due to a loose wire or something that was fixed during the installation.All in all, 10/10, no issues, clear directions, a great product.

Just take your time
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 didnât break anything. I also have years of experience disassembling electronics so Iâm sure that might have helped.People who complain about the screwdrivers donât 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 itâs 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).

The front is not easy to install, but they have 10/10 videos and support
I’m just not skilled enough to get it back together and working. Make sure you have a proper hot air station or warming pad specifically for screens. Otherwise the kit is very fully featured, and looks fantastic once together (I did get it back together but damaged lcd connector, very careful but still too rough).

Long and tedious process to install
some minor seam inconsistencies (by the joycons, it makes the tolerances tighter), otherwise looks great and feels like it wont break anytime soonit came with a bunch of loose replacement screws in a bag aswell as screwdrivers (both the front and back shell come with their own screwdrivers. Lol)

Easier than other reviews have stated, very straightforward with excellent results
Pleasantly surprised by this kit. I read over the reviews first and saw lots of complaints and was concerned it would have quality issues or the disassembly would be tedious (it does involve a heat gun to remove the digitizer after all). Nope! Followed their youtube video and it was painless. I already have my own electronics tool kit though so I have no comments on the included tools with this kit (or the joycons + back panel, dock, or pro controller ones either). Suction cup was included so that was convenient. I also got the LED firefly and button kits but they weren’t here yet and I was impatient so it’s pictured above without.Disassembling the screen can be tricky if the tape refuses to let go. I used a hairdryer on low instead of a heat gun – it had a better nozzle and low heat is plenty. Just go slow over one side at a time and gently pull it free. A spudger carefully applied can lift it out but make sure it’s heated up enough first. Keeping all the parts laid out on a mat where I was working in roughly the same positions they got removed from, layer by layer, made reassembly even faster than disassembly. A good pair of tweezers or two really help it along. Total install time for all of the kits in one go was about 5 hours (front and back shells, joycons, dock, pro controller + led upgrade). Lots of screws are included but they seem to be backups and replacements only. The only ones I used replaced the annoying tri slot screws on the outside of the case with standard phillips ones for later access.I wish extremerate offered all their colors for the front panel. I have a second switch I want to do in transparent blue but it’s not available yet.However this makes a fine addition to my growing collection of atomic purple electronics (pictured) and I’m quite pleased for how cheap the shells were.

It arrived faster then expected and came with everything needed to do the replacement. This isn’t a project for some one with out experience as there is a lot of small parts that can easily get broken, taking the screen off is no easy task but can be accomplished with a little patience and a heat gun or hair dryer ( I used a hair dryer so it took longer, about an to an hour and a half). Also the shell itself is on the soft side and I bentine while removing from the packaging, fortunately I was able to remove the stress mark with my hair dryer and it looked good as new. All in all prety happy with the shell. As always eXtremeRate delivers a quality product.

Hace tiempo hice el cambio de casi toda la carcasa del Nintendo Switch, sólo me hizo falta el marco frontal, pero siempre me quedó la curiosidad de cambiarla.Adquirà el kit de extremerate y la verdad está bien hecho, no tuve que hacer ningún ajuste o cambio de ningún tipo. Basta aclarar que se requieren algunos conocimientos básicos para despegar la pantalla y el touch de la carcasa original y evitar que se rompan.Estoy muy satisfecho con la calidad y su relación con el precio.

Ich fasse mich kurz und lasse dafür die Bilder den Rest erledigen. Ganz klare Empfehlung an eXtremeRate und deren Produkte für die Nintendo Switch (2017&2019 Modelle) – (OLED sowie Lite besitze ich nicht).Auch empfehle ich ein gewisses Maà an fingerfertigkeit sowie technisches Verständnis und Geduld. Das Anleitungsvideo oben aus der Artikelbeschreibung ist sehr hilfreich und sollte mMn auch schon vorab mindestens einmal angeschaut werden, damit man weis was da auf einen zukommt. Die selbe Rezension habe ich auch für die “eXtremeRate Hülle für Nintendo Switch Konsole/Joycon,Case” abgegeben.Diese Rezension spiegelt nur meine persönliche Erfahrung mit diesem Artikel/Hersteller und dient nicht als allgemeine Meinung zum Produkt. MfG

Grazie ad Extremerate, potrete rendere la Switch decisamente fuori dal comune! Al momento, infatti, Nintendo, escludendo i Joy-Con, non sembra intenzionata a colorare più di tanto questo bellissimo dispositivo, adottando, principalmente, poche sfumature di grigio (e, sinceramente, non ne capisco il motivo).Questa shell anteriore è stata realizzata in modo eccellente tanto da condividere lo stesso identico spessore e la stessa identica sagomatura dell’originale. I colori sono bellissimi e la perfezione del taglio e delle dimensioni non compromettono in alcun modo la funzionalità del dispositivo in generale.Tutto è bello, tutto è fantastico ma, l’altra faccia della stessa medaglia risulta non alla portata di tutti. Per applicare questa front shell bisogna, per forza di cose, privare la Nintendo Switch della sua integrità , smontandola completamente. Ciò risulta piuttosto complicato e, se non si ha esperienza, si rischia di rovinare definitivamente il dispositivo trasformando il bidone dell’immondizia nella sua nuova e confortevole custodia. Oltretutto, qualsiasi tentativo di aprire la console invaliderà la garanzia della stessa qualora fosse ancora valida.Per applicare questo frontalino ci si ritroverà , quindi, a smontare la shell posteriore del dispositivo, levare il guscio protettivo di alluminio “scollandolo” anche dal primo stato di pasta termica in modo da accedere all’elettronica, rimuovere pazientemente la scheda madre separando anche il dissipatore di calore dal secondo strato di pasta termoconduttiva, scollegare le due barre laterali dove scorrono i Joy-Con ed, infine, scollare delicatamente il touch screen capacitivo dalla plastica facendo molta attenzione a non incrinarlo e a non separarlo dal pannello LCD sottostante. Applicata la shell, si dovrà , naturalmente, procedere al riassemblaggio cercando di non perdere le vitarelle e… anche la testa.Questo è un lavoro molto delicato e che mi ha richiesto circa tre orette per essere completato ma che mi ha saputo donare una grande soddisfazione. Adesso, anche grazie al kit (sempre della stessa marca) che include la shell posteriore e quella dedicata ai Joy-Con, la Switch che avevo acquistato come non funzionante e in pessime condizioni estetiche è praticamente rinata, diventando identica al primo Game Boy Color viola atomico che mi era stato regalato nel ’98.La modifica in questione richiede esperienza, perseveranza e, nel caso la console fosse ancora in garanzia, anche una buona dose di follia! Non pensate di acquistare questa shell con un miraggio spensierato… valutate bene ciò che state per fare. Ogni cosa andata storto, inevitabilmente, vi si ritorcerà contro.ð Prodotto consigliato a chi se la sente di rinnovare una Switch molto rovinata e non più in garanzia.ð Prodotto sconsigliato a chi non ha molta esperienza nello smontare dispositivi elettronici o la cui console sia ancora in garanzia.
