## Description

desertcart.com: eXtremeRate Clear Atomic Purple Console Back Plate DIY Replacement Housing Shell Case for Nintendo Switch Console with Kickstand – JoyCon Shell NOT Included : Video Games

Review: Easy way to customize your Switch - I love this product. It is nearly perfect. These are so similar structurally to the OEM backplate that they are super easy to install. They look and feel great. The only real issue I had with mine was that the kickstand is a little loose*, but I did not have with the other kit that I purchased so I feel like mine might just be somewhat faulty. The only minor complaints with these is that they don't put the speaker cover and foam pieces on before shipping them and that the game card cover isn't included/preinstalled. I get that these are small, cost saving steps that the customer can do themselves in less than 5 minutes but it just seems silly that they would manufacturer these products so well but not take those few additional steps to make the process easier. Those issues are so minor and subjective that I'm still giving this item a 5 star rating as it's very easy to install with minimal experience. Altogether it may have taken 15 minutes to change my Switch from stock to unique. I contacted eXtremeRate and they sent an entire replacement kit for the problem I had with the kickstand. It arrived very quickly and the kickstand in the replacement kit was perfect. Their customer service is top notch!
Review: Pretty cosmetic mod for the Nintendo Switch. - Installation isn't the easiest due to Nintendo's use of JIS 000 screws that strip easily and eXtremeRate supplying a PH00 with the shell for these screws, but, once you have it installed, the transparent color adds a unique look to the console. Just make sure to screw in slowly and not to over tighten the screws, otherwise you risk cracking the shell.
