  Woah it’s all white :O
  Was it a set or did you have to get custom case, buttons and pads separately? Wanted to do something similar as well in the beginning but I’ve never taken electronics apart before so when I read that it’s not that easy and there are risky steps, I bailed and got a skin instead haha

    it was a set. bought it from extremerate as soon as it was released. i tried to replace it myself but my hair dryer is not hot enough to peel the screen so I found a repair shop that was willing to do it.

    Especially on the steam deck, if upu put ot back together, the buttons won’t feel the same, because it needs a specific screw tightness which is not written anywhere.

    A company called ExtremeRate sells the case and button kits all as one - It took me around 5 hours to replace the shell on mine, but that’s largely because I was being meticulous and careful while also following a video tutorial that I had to keep pausing/resuming.

    Now that I’ve done it once, I could probably do it in a half-hour though.

  That looks GREAT! I love that you got the matching buttons too.
