Review: Looks great! - I’m really happy with how this turned out, was very straightforward to change over - I followed a step by step video tutorial online! Case is good quality! And has a nice feel to it!
Review: You must do this! - Absolutely thrilled with this kit. Just installed it over the weekend and expected the worst to be honest, as my eyesight is not what it was and I'm not exactly known for my steady hand. However, with a bit of patience and forward thinking, not to mention a good clear space and very good lighting, this was largely trouble-free. I'd read all the reviews beforehand and bought a separate console disassembly kit as advised, which came with very useful spudgers and tweezers as well as the proper screwdrivers. It does add a cost to the price you pay for upgrade, but really, even factoring that in it's well worth it. The Switch now looks amazing and completely refreshed. By the end of it I'd surprised myself that I could do this and I think if I can, then I'm very sure you can too. It's not easy and I would advise patience at the trickier bits - I had particular fun with the ribbon cable for the trigger on the right joycon. But just take your time and keep thinking that teeny pesky ribbon WILL go back in! Proper tweezers are invaluable here, as is a good tutorial video on YouTube. I recommend the FetchingTech one since he talks you through most of it very well indeed. Once you've done it though you'll feel proper chuffed with yourself. I've now bought the SNES style dock shell to match and cannot wait to see it all done. Awesome, well made product that will absolutely put a smile on your face!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worth a Buy
*by C***T on 19 May 2025*

This make my Switch look beautiful. The feel of the joy cons feel better than the stock, it has a more rubbery feel. Its durable not scratches yet and its been thrown in my bag on a daily basis. Very good value for money. The fit of the parts are perfect you can tell care has gone in to making them fit perfect. It works how its meant to. The only thing i would say is that installation of the joy cons can be fiddley and may take longer than expected.
