## Description

desertcart.com: eXtremeRate DIY Replacement Shell Buttons for Nintendo Switch, Crystal Dragon Back Plate for Switch Console, Housing with Full Set Buttons for Joycon Handheld Controller - Console Shell NOT Included : Video Games

Review: Great Product! - Awesome!! Looks great, first time changing the shell of my Nintendo, the joycons were a little complicated, you need patience. The backplate was very easy to install, especially with the included screwdrivers!
Review: Really nice quality and the material feels great. - I should preface by saying you should either have a good guide or you should know what you're doing before installing these because the joycons are tricky to do without damaging anything. If you're a novice, research the repair before buying so you don't get in over your head. The material isn't the same smooth plastic as the standard switch joycons, this stuff is a soft vinyl covering the plastic frame. It feels softer to the touch and feels really nice to hold, even after the clammy hands start kicking in. It feels like it might scratch easily if it's not kept well, but I haven't had any issues with that, and I transport it almost primarily unprotected in a backpack pocket. Take from that what you will. Decal print aside, the actual molded plastic is durable and the kickstand latches haven't broken for me after a decent amount of use, and show no signs of significant wear (this has been a problem I've seen with other brand housings). After the replacement, the joycons actually seem to fit more snugly in the Switch's side-rails which I appreciate because the original housing felt just a bit... wobbly? Just a bit though. Results and experience may vary. The screwdrivers this kit comes with are *really nice*. It's a driver handle with two separate screw bits, and speaking as a professional repairman, it's a way higher quality than you'll usually find in DIY kits. This is closer to the iFixit brand stuff in quality. The original Switch buttons look better in my opinion because the white lettering is far easier to see, but that's neither here nor there and spare parts are never a bad thing. I also left the joycon SL/SR 'bumper' buttons as the original red/blue because this kit only comes with black and that seemed like it'd be hard to see quickly. Looks a little gaudy, but I rarely see them anyway. Last nice little detail about the Switch's rear housing plate, the kit does come with a replacement dust mesh, so you don't have to tear the one off your original housing plate and try to stick it back on. Overall very, very happy with this housing replacement. Looks great, feels great, and friends have thought much the same.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great shell replacement products.
*by A***K on December 5, 2025*

I love eXtremeRate products. I have used several shell swap kits from them. They are always high quality both in print and fit. It is definetly worth the little extra you will pay. All the screw holes will line up and not need any modifications unlike the cheaper shells that often have sizing or mold issues that need to be corrected before use.
