    Firstly, don’t be put off having a go! I don’t think it is hard as people say, as long as you give yourself time. Mine turned out fantastic, I am very happy. I recommend the following considerations before you buy 1. Get yourself your own toolkit. The suction cup is rubbish and the metal pick should not be used, use plastic instead. 2. Use a heat gun and keep moving, medium heat, for around 2 minutes. 3. Use isopropyl rubbing alcohol to get rid of remaining residue. Important to get rid of all glue!.

    My only complaint is the screws are confusing, should be labelled up.

    Really happy with results.

    Be sure you’re comfortable with disassembling every part of your steam deck. You’ll be breaking glue to remove the screen, detaching 5-10 ribbon cables and prying touch pads apart.

    The case itself is as well made as the original.

    After having a vinyl skin on my deck for a little while, I decided to take the plunge and buy the extremerate shell. I have zero experience with tear downs but I followed the tutorial on YouTube, pausing where necessary, which made the whole process a lot smoother.

    The screen removal was the most stubborn element to take out of the original shell but I would strongly advise purchasing the iOpener kit from iFixit. Stick it in the microwave for a minute and then place it on each side for about 5 minutes – I did this whilst watching a 30 minute show on Netflix to pass the time! Using the iFixit suction tool, I was able to prise the screen off without using the pics. Make sure to use isopropyl to safely remove the adhesive left behind. After the screen removal it’s pretty much plain sailing from there.

    I chose to keep the original buttons as a nice contrast to the translucent green; I will be putting some black extremerate back paddles on the rear too as I think that would look much slicker. The whole process probably took around 2.5 – 3 hoursif you like tinkering and enjoy projects that test your patience, the time will fly by as it did for me.

    I’m really pleased with the end result, it feels nice to hold and the quality is fantastic. The fit is absolutely perfect and for the price of the kit, the value for money is second to none. My main problem was actually choosing the shell colour! I would definitely recommend this if you have the patience for such thingsI love a challenge so this was right up my street!

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersThe aftermarket buttons especially the face buttons move around in their space a lot more than the original, they may be slightly smaller. I recommend using all of the original buttons and just keep the shell. My shell has a nice finish, but in the light i can see small dots of uneven coat. The space that the screen adheres to is ever so slightly larger so when I replaced the screen there’s a gap bigger than on the original.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersCouldn’t decide on the best colour to go for but went with the white shell in the end.
    Looks good but… if you have not stripped down devices before, this may be a little too complex for you.
    The online video instructions are good, not sure why the white costs more than some of the other colours but, for the amount of design, effort and effor that has gone inyo the product , it is good value for money

    5.0 out of 5 stars Looks great but a fiddly job to replace

    Was quite easy to for their YouTube along the way and I am really happy with the outcome. 100% on the kit apart from the sharp guitar pick
    I did cut myself whilst removing the screen so I’d be careful when you get to that part. The kit has everything you need to get you through it for a stylish steam deck and it looks fantastic

    5.0 out of 5 stars Really nice Shell for my steam deck

    Golden Review Award: 6 From Our UsersHonestly this is one of the best shells I’ve come across, let alone for the Steam Deck.

    It feels great, looks fantastic and fit together arguably better than the stock shell. Mine creaked when the shell was pressed below the screen and this one didn’t, so clearly done something better than Valve to sort that out!

    I did keep the original buttons though as it looks quite cheap going with all purple – but that’s just me.

    The kit had everything you need to swap and Extreme Rate have a YouTube video that was really well done and easy to follow, so I’d recommend watching that like I did.

    I can’t fault it and whilst this isn’t a reflection on the shell, it’s definitely not for the feint of heart. You take everything apart, including the screen (which I’d never done before) so I wouldnt do it as your first ever shell swap. If you do though, watch their video, take it slow and keep track of which screws go where so you don’t ruin any of the posts with the wrong screws.

    My tip: I used several egg pots and scrap paper to say what they were – worked well!

    5.0 out of 5 stars 10/10 isn't good enough for this shell
