eXtremeRate Replacement Full Set Housing Shell with Buttons for Steam Deck OLED Handheld Console, Custom DIY White Faceplate Back Plate Trackpad Case for Steam Deck OLED Console - Without Console

Can’t fault this case replacement. The guide on the website is amazing. I sat for 3 hours watching the video going step by step and although I’d have appreciated a written guide for a few fiddly moments I figured it out.I liked the contrast of the black buttons against the white so didn’t do all of the steps, my touchpads and trigger buttons remain the same, but even without those steps I’m still really happy. I only worried I’d break my steam deck every other step but it’s gone together well. Any issues are user error putting the parts in the new case so can’t really mark down for that.

Absolutely excellent build quality, typically 3rd party housings I’ve used are always short of the mark. Not this, pretty much the same as OEM. Lovely fit and finish.FYI, removing the display is hard, take your time, if it feels wrong, it probably is! Start in the Center not the corner! Use some isopropyl alcohol and a fine pointed syringe, once you get a small lift get some alcohol in there to help you along.

Great quality, the process for changing can be complex but the step by step guide and provided tools made it simple.The fit of parts was exactly the same as stock with no scrappy edges you sometimes find on cheaper alternatives.It feels almost standard when gripped and has a reassuringly tough feel, generally I think it looks great (better than stock) but that is subjective.

In some places, the molds are broken as soon as they are received. The quality control is not very good.
