Ya haba comprado la transparente y esta en definitiva se ve excelente. La he colocado a la Nintendo de mi hermana y quedo perfecto. Lastima que vendan por separado la parte frontal.
I really like this product and LOVE how it turned out! It’s beautiful and feels great. I accidentally dropped it once and not cracks (not a far fall and I’m not saying it’s super protective as I did not test that. So if you want to do this for your kids who drops stuff all the time, I might not recommend as I’m not sure if the cases are as sturdy as they feel). The video was great annd helpful. Overall I love the product. I did run into problems (by no fault of this company) and feel I should let you know if you plan on doing this.
First of all, I have no experience in this area. I just like challenging things and building stuff, so I decided to try it. It did take longer than 4 hours for me (only the first set of joy-cons, which were the blue flame ones) and I did break one of my joy-cons (the left blue flame one in one of the pictures). I did the blue flame ones first. Once I was done with the left blue one, I tried it and the joystick wasn’t working properly, so I kept taking apart, redoing the joy-con, and testing it again. After a bit, I accidentally broke one of the electrical components (the thing you put the ribbon cable in). So I got a left joy-con and did the process again, but now (for some reason) it won’t charge and say it’s connected to the switch. It connects separately but won’t recognize when it’s connected to the switch. So not sure what happened there. Another problem I had was when I replaced the back of the switch (the switch itself and not the joy-cons) accidentally stripped the middle screw on the side of the switch. It took a dremel, stripped screw kit and a drill to get the screw out. It was very risky and we’re lucky it didn’t damage the switch. Unfortunately it did do damage to the area around the screw (took off paint and stuff). I covered it with sharpie and looks better (I attached a picture). So BE CAREFUL!!!!
Everything (except the one blue flame joy-con) works properly and couldn’t be happier with the out come. Just if you decide to do it, take your time and be patient. Do everything the video tells you to do. Just understand the risks that come with doing this stuff. You’ll break the warranty and you run the risk of breaking the joycon or the switch (you would only run the risk of breaking the switch if you did what we did to get the stripped screw out). I would highly recommend watching the video first before buying to see what goes into it (video is at the bottom of the page of the product). Hopefully this helps!!!!
Es war die richtige Entscheidung, das schnde Case zu wechseln.
Der Umbau der Joy-Cons bedarf ein wenig Geschick und Feingefhl, aber trotzdem ist es fr einen Leihen gut machbar.
Ich empfehle allerdings ein hherwertiges Schraubenset zu bestellen.
I just completed the customisation of my switch but a couple things have stood out
The screws stripped really easily especially if you haven’t ever undone them
You have to fully open up the switch controllers so be sure to have plastic tweezers etc to handle them
Some video tutorials make you detach the motor and battery but you don’t need to do this as long as you are careful when handling the motherboard – I tried to follow this and ended up breaking the battery wire and had to find a replacement battery so BE CAREFUL
Also some buttons were really stif after finally closing so don’t tighten the screws too much as I will probably have to reopen them to fix this
Quite complex installation if it is your first time – the shell is really sturdy but the screws and screwdrivers that came with it were no
The shell fit perfectly, the only part I was a little scared about changing was the joycons due to the small ribbon cables! But I persevered and it was done, it looks beautiful!
I bought this because my original switch shell was in a bad state, it was missing screws and everything.
I love this design and it wasn’t too hard to replace everything (as long as you don’t accidentally strip I screw which I did, leaving my only option to pry apart the back of a joy-con)
The backplate for the switch is the easiest, with the joycons being a little more involved.
I didn’t use the joy-cons buttons as I didn’t like the multicolour ones , I feel like the cherry blossom set would benefit more from getting bundled with white buttons!
Overall this set is great and I would highly recommend getting one if you are comfortable fitting it yourself !
Absolutely thrilled with this kit. Just installed it over the weekend and expected the worst to be honest, as my eyesight is not what it was and I’m not exactly known for my steady hand. However, with a bit of patience and forward thinking, not to mention a good clear space and very good lighting, this was largely trouble-free. I’d read all the reviews beforehand and bought a separate console disassembly kit as advised, which came with very useful spudgers and tweezers as well as the proper screwdrivers. It does add a cost to the price you pay for upgrade, but really, even factoring that in it’s well worth it. The Switch now looks amazing and completely refreshed. By the end of it I’d surprised myself that I could do this and I think if I can, then I’m very sure you can too. It’s not easy and I would advise patience at the trickier bits – I had particular fun with the ribbon cable for the trigger on the right joycon. But just take your time and keep thinking that teeny pesky ribbon WILL go back in! Proper tweezers are invaluable here, as is a good tutorial video on YouTube. I recommend the FetchingTech one since he talks you through most of it very well indeed. Once you’ve done it though you’ll feel proper chuffed with yourself.
I’ve now bought the SNES style dock shell to match and cannot wait to see it all done. Awesome, well made product that will absolutely put a smile on your face!
Parts were made extremely well and fit perfectly.
The fit comes with everything you need however I did use my own tools due to people having threading issue’s, everything lined up and clipped together as if it was a genuine Nintendo kit!
Trs bon produit ! Je vous recommande quand mme trs fortement de trouver des tournevis diffrents que ceux apporte dans le kit (surtout le tournevis triwing qui n’est vraiment pas terrible..
Autre point qui me chagrine un peu, le motif. Certe il est vraiment sympa, mais il n’y a pas une parfaite continue entre les joy-cons et la plaque arrire de la console ce qui est un peu dommage (regardez les photos vous verrez le dcalage). Aprs je pense que ce dfaut ce limite a ce motif car je n’en n’ai vu aucun autre pas align.
En revanche un point fortement apprciable est que toutes les vis que vous allez dmonter sont aussi dans le kit et en plus en forme phillips et non triwing ce qui permet de remplacer les vis si vous les abimez afin de ne pas risquer de les bloquer.
Pour ce qui est de la difficult personnellement a allait, c’est vrai que a demande de la dextrit mais avec un petit peu de patience on y arrive. Si vous avez dj changer un cran d’iphone dites vous que c’est un petit peu plus dur (mais srement pas insurmontable).
Je recommande !
Sem dvida o melhor produto para personalizar a sua consola !
D um toque muito mais suave e arrisco a dizer que a qualidade deste material superior original da nintendo switch! Muito bom produto mesmo.
Really good product, have no complaints. As long as you take your time almost anyone can do this. Only thing I’d say don’t use the video tutorial they made search YouTube for someone else as they’re tutorial could cause issues with the delicate cables inside the joy-cons.
This wasn’t the easiest thing but I’ve never done anything like this before – getting the first set of screws out were quite tricky but eventually managed it with a bit of luck. Patience is really the key with this overall it took a good 4 hours but watching step by step guides really helped. It really is do able but make sure you watch some videos and leave plenty of time, the design is beautiful and overall worth doing it!
Would recommend
The console backplate is super easy to change – the joy-cons are a fair bit harder – the right joy-con in particular will take longer to do due to it having the Amiibo reader and the IR camera inside.
Worth it though.
I will definitely be getting the shells with the D-pad for my 2nd set of Joycons.
This replacement shell is absolutely gorgeous and in all honesty, seems and feels way more durable than the OG shell. It’s not extremely difficult to swap, but do be aware that the tools they provide are not magnetized and the screws on the switch are ridiculously tiny, so that will be a challenge. Other than that, if you’re experienced in electronics and/or feel like you are capable of doing the case swap, go for it. Again, looks stunning and feels super good/durable.
I bought this to make my switch look a little different from others (mine was the standard neon blue/red)
I can say with a little time patience and a steady hand you can make your switch look totally different in around 40-60 mins. the housing fits perfectly and everything fits in nicely just like a official one.
the tools are a little hit and miss, but the kit comes with a bag of replacement screws and springs so if you are unlucky to have a spring launch skywards you are covered.
i will 100% be buying more sets to keep customising my own and friends consoles! highly reccomended!!
It’s pretty good quality. Plastic is thick enough and the detail is good. The only issue is the inner look, very cheap looking, but you won’t really ever see i
Great case fairly easy to put on the back plate didn’t take long the joycons took longer. I’m a complete novice so I watched some YouTube videos and took my time. I think that’s the key to just take your time it took me 30 mins on the left joycon as I replaced a analog stick at the same time, and 45 on the right.
Super Design, das Glitzer ist “3D”.
Beim Auseinander- und wieder Zusammenbauen ist durch das Video sehr vereinfacht, aber trotzdem mit Vorsicht herangehen! Das + bei meiner switch reagiert bei leichtem Druck nicht mehr richtig (liegt wohl daran, dass ich was versumt habe beim zusammenbauen), aber auch die ZL Taste reagiert schon beim leichtesten Druck (also es macht noch nciht mal Klick, und es reagiert schon). Das liegt aber wie gesagt wahrscheinlich daran, dass ich irgendwo was nicht richtig festgemacht habe.
Die Hlle ist meiner Meinung nach TOP und das umbauen macht viel Spa!! Pure Weiterempfehlung!!
I purchased the petal pink casing. It took some time to put together considering the nintendo switch original screws can be quite fidgety (some even get really stuck in there and you need additional tools to remove them, but mine is very old which might explain that). I love the colourful buttons, and the feel of the case. It feels even higher quality than the ones that come with the switch itself.
There is no difference to switch temperature or joycon slide in, its all perfectly fitted, however I would recommend if you are a first timer to look at the instructions / a youtube instruction video first since the screws and placement of the circuits can be quite difficult at first.
I highly reccommend this product!
The switch back plate was very easy and simple to install, while the joycons were a fair bit more fiddly. Happy with the end result though – it looks and feels great, as well as feeling quite sturdy.
My only critism is that it would be nice for the image on the joycons to line up more perfectly with the switch.
Okay, first off: The design on the shell is gorgeous. It was exactly what it was promised to be.
Now for the installation: the shell for the console itself was easy to install. No issues there. However, the joycon shell replacements were pretty difficult to install. It requires a steady set of hands, which I do not have. I got there in the end, though with some persistence.
Overall, the shells are sturdy, slightly damage resistance but over all they are beautiful.
Would recommend, but be warned. You need a steady hand and the patience of a saint.
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.
The 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 component some of the white features of the new shell. I initially took apart the entire console, but 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 dismantled it all.
I made I few little mistakes putting it back together, nothing too worrying, so ending 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.
Colori veramente carini e le ho abbinate con i tasti bianchi comprati dallo stesso venditore e arrivati insieme.
Ho seguito il tutorial sul canale youtube per il montaggio e non ho avuto difficolt.
To start off with I would like to say that I am a novice when it comes to this sort of thing. I literally bought my switch and the next day, took it apart to customise with minimal knowledge of what I was doing.
It is time consuming and you need patience (took me around 2 hours total for all my modifications)!
The instructions are all in the photos on the advert and I’m really pleased with the results.
The kit comes with absolutely everything you need to completely modify the switch and joycons.
Very pleased at how they came out and really good the part with the rest of my modifications.
It was quite fun assembling it (watched a YouTube video made by IGN which was easy to follow) and overall pretty nice. The tool provided wasn’t that bad as long you screw/unscrew the screws generally so it doesn’t blunt the tool. I didn’t really use the screws given but instead the ones originally on the Switch so I’m not sure how they fit? The only downside I’d say is the line from the Joycons and the actual console doesn’t fit? But other than that everything else is fine.
The material used for the joycon shells feel amazing and the quality of the print really shows. The only issue is that the plus and minus buttons on each joycon are too flush with the shells. This means they aren’t as easy to press as other buttons. I still recommend highly because of the quality of the image and the material used.
