Installation Tips

  • Installation difficulty: High
  • Time spent: 4 hours 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 you are reassembling the Joycons you must be conscious of how tight you are tightening the screws as that will affect how your buttons to press.
  • When removing the Joycon outer screws make sure you are using a Tri-wing screwdriver. Be careful not to strip the 4 outer triangle screws or over tighten any screws.
  • There are multiple very delicate ribbon cables in the Joycon that need to be removed and reattached.
  • Use tweezers instead of bulky fingers at all times to help with the little pieces that you'll take to move to the new case.
  • Note that the ZR and ZL on the Joycons are spring loaded so be careful when opening.
  • Installing the console back-plate is easy. Simply disassemble your original back housing and kickstand from the Switch, then replace it with eXtremeRate back plate and kickstand.

Great Shell
5 Stars
Great Shell
My favorite color, favorite throwback to the old GBA frosted shells, and on my favorite system. The main install for the system was relatively easy, Nintendo really didn't want this thing to be taken apart but with some help from the videos the seller has on YouTube I was able to get it done.The Joycons are another story entirely. You will want a clean, well lit, quiet area with some magnifying glasses, all of your patience and some kind of collector tray because the parts for these are god awful to keep up with and can easily bounce away into the ether. You may notice I don't have the home button cover anymore, that's been lost almost since they day of install.Additionally you will want to get some extra adhesive specifically for the screen to be re-adhered, or it will pop back off if you only use the little tabs they provide.After having this installed for several months I am so happy with it, it has held up extremely well and I will be buying from them again for my pro controller, and also once my Steam Deck's warranty expires. Gotta have a matching set! 10/10

4.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Shell!
Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2023
After needing to replace my thumbsticks due to drift, I figured now that I somewhat know my way around the innards of the joycons, some more customization would be fun to do! I've always wanted a console with those see-through shells, and couldn't pass up a yellow one!

It was relatively easy to install, following the video on their youtube- but it did slightly concern me that they showed them yanking out all of the ribbon cables when it's easy to just flip up the release. Perhaps it doesn't matter too much but I prefer to be gentler to be safe. They include extra screws in case you lose any, which is always appreciated. Their included screwdriver is fine, but isn't magnetic so the screws don't stick when taking them out- so I used my own screwdrivers instead. The whole process only took me around 2 hours.

The final look is great! Nothing inside is loose and the buttons feels just as they're supposed to! I didn't use their included colored buttons, so I can't speak for their quality, but regardless I do wish it came with SL and SR buttons, I had to keep my original red and blue ones. Very happy overall though with this purchase!

The color is perfect and the buttons and everything just look amazing and fits together seamlessly! took me about 2 or so hours to get all of it complete, it does take a lot of time and patience but if you have that… it’s easy as cake. To everyone who says it’s hard to assemble, they were likely trying to rush it. take your time and be delicate with everything, and pro tip you can do it without disconnecting a lot of the wiring like a lot of the video guides suggest and it’s honestly easier imo! but yeah the video guides.. while a bit fast are so helpful

Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2020
EDIT - ExtremeRate contacted me not long after I posted my review and offered to not only replace the back of my joycon shell, but to give me an entire new set of shells for both my joycons.
____
TL;DR, Housing looks great, right joycon has begun to fall apart after regular use for two months. Install is OK - take it slow!

The housing feels nice and looks great, there's no question. For about two months, I had the coolest Switch on the block. I loved it to bits.

Installing isn't all that bad, and the right joycon is the biggest hump. I had taken apart joycons before this but I wound up fat thumbing and breaking a ribbon cable for a bumper. A replacement was only 3 dollars (I took the button from my old joycons as a transplant in the meanwhile. Can't stress it enough, this housing looks awesome - I needed it the day it came).

Sadly, this housing starts to show its wear much more quickly than your out of box joycons. After the first month of regular, non-intense use, my right joycon back cracked. Another few weeks, the plastic snapped right where the top left screw holds the joycon back down - again, on the right joycon. This made it unslot from my Switch periodically while playing and made both the bumper and the trigger difficult to press.

Will happily change my review if I were able to recieve or even order a replacement right joycon back.

Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2023
This is my second shell from this brand and both have been great quality. It was easy to install, fits perfectly, and looks great. The only drawback is that there aren't any s buttons included in the kit, so I had to buy a separate set of replacement buttons to get them. I was too intimidated to change the shells on my joycons the first time around so I didn't notice with that one. I kept the original black buttons because I liked the look better, but all other buttons were included. Overall, very happy!

Quality product. - Decent plastic, comes with everything you need (even screw drivers and a complete set of screws - but no thermal paste, so have this handy if you’re changing out the bezel) - I used the original Nintendo screws for mine just because I wanted to and could.

Not for the faint of heart, medium level difficulty. Instructions via Youtube available which is a great help. Just take your time and enjoy your personalised console.

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 Maß 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 Vorderseite Rahmen Case für nintendo Switch Konsole" abgegeben.
Diese Rezension spiegelt nur meine persönliche Erfahrung mit diesem Artikel/Hersteller und dient nicht als allgemeine Meinung zum Produkt. MfG S.Cynis
