## Description

desertcart.com: eXtremeRate Purple and Blue Chameleon Front Housing Shell Faceplate for Xbox One X S Controller Model 1708 - Controller NOT Included : Video Games

Review: Beauty and comfort - but I recommend you watch installation videos! - Pros: - 5 stars for everything about this face plate. - Color is amazing, and doesn't look like just a surface paint job. - It is so silky smooth to the touch (note, it's still hard ABS plastic, so "soft" isn't really the adjective for this.) But, while you can easily glide across the surface, when you actually hold it as if to play, there is definitely a grip to it. - It's a LOT cheaper than buying a new controller, especially if yours works fine. - The purple/blue chameleon also perfectly matches the "PowerA Fusion Wired Stereo Gaming Headset with Mic" of the Cosmos Nebula color. Cons: - If you have never tried to remove the faceplate on your factory controller, WATCH THE VIDEOS - not just the first one that pops up in the youtube search mentioned in the listing, but also the next one where the gentleman swaps his factory plate for a woodgrained one (that video was more helpful). Removing the side grips from your old one will be the hardest part of the process. No reason to ding stars from this product because my factory controller was built to not come apart easily, but it was a pain. - Now, once you get to the point of having your old face plate off - the installation of the new one is a breeze. DO pay attention that you get it lined up right before screwing it on (if the edges aren't lined up perfectly, it will feel like it doesn't fit). You should also note that the screws will feel tight as you reassemble due to the new plate never having screws in it. Side notes: - Yes, it is a face plate, not a skin, not a snap over style cover, it is a replacement face plate that requires you to manhandle and disassemble your controller. Doing so is obviously at your own risk, and if you're a kid, you should probably ask your grown up. - It is also NOT a whole controller. It very very clearly says this. (Seriously, there is a bad review because someone trusted a 12 year old who claimed they found a cheap controller, and now the parent is mad that it was just the face plate, so they left a bad review... That is not how reviews work.)
Review: Super shiny - Was easy to install, looks really good with either the white or black backing. Wish it came eith a backing for it to match.
