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!

Excellent Shell, ok toolset
This replacement shell is absolutely gorgeous and in all honesty, seems and feels way more durable than the OG shell. It's not extremely difficult to swap, but do be aware that the tools they provide are not magnetized and the screws on the switch are ridiculously tiny, so that will be a challenge. Other than that, if you're experienced in electronics and/or feel like you are capable of doing the case swap, go for it. Again, looks stunning and feels super good/durable.

Great shell!
Parts were made extremely well and fit perfectly.The fit comes with everything you need however I did use my own tools due to people having threading issue's, everything lined up and clipped together as if it was a genuine Nintendo kit!

Very nice
It's pretty good quality. Plastic is thick enough and the detail is good. The only issue is the inner look, very cheap looking, but you won't really ever see it

This turned my well worn, 4 year old switch, into a shiny new console.
Love it. - It's not easy or quick - It's not difficult - just fiddlyThe console backplate is super easy to change - the joy-cons are a fair bit harder - the right joy-con in particular will take longer to do due to it having the Amiibo reader and the IR camera inside.Worth it though.I will definitely be getting the shells with the D-pad for my 2nd set of Joycons.

Great kit, but buy your own tools
Cannot fault the set. Printing is sharp and has a great smooth, matte feel. Screws provided are better as they have a larger groove to receive the screwdrivers. I used my own set of tools as the ones provided didn't seem large enough to fit.Slightly costly but the quality is definitely up to standard.

Spot on!
Absolutely spot on, feel and look great! Can't give 5* for installation difficulty as the joycons are slightly difficult, but that isn't the manufacturers fault so overall 5*

Doesn't come with prepared Joy Cons
This product provides only the shell for joy cons, not SNES style joy cons themselves. It only work for the 1st edition NS, and not for the latest OLED model. It would take a lot of experience, and many hours of your time trying to disassemble your current joy cons, and installing the shells on them. There is also a high probability that you might damage your $70 joy cons in the process.My advice: Just pay the $120 for the custom made SNES joy cons if you really want it.

La Mejor Opción Para Rediseñar Tu Nintendo Switch
Después de mucho tiempo pude adquirir este kit de carcasa para joycon con la tapa trasera para el Nintendo Switch. De manera general daré una opinión detallada para quienes estén interesados en adquirir este producto:Lo bueno: Los materiales de las carcasas y tapa trasera son muy buenos, los botones también se sienten de muy buena calidad y te incluye rejillas nuevas para la ventilación y tornillos de repuesto (que solo se utilizarían si llegas a extraviar los originales) Te incluye un desarmador y dos puntas (una de cruz y una de tres alas), que será lo necesario para todo el proceso de armado; si has trabajado antes la electrónica y no eres muy exigente, el desarmador y las puntas son adecuadas para trabajar, aunque puedes usar tus propias herramientas si las tienes y son de mejor calidad.Lo malo:La caja no contiene un manual que detalle el proceso cambio de carcasa, el fabricante ofrece un video tutorial en su página de YouTube pero es un canal en ingles. En Youtube hay tutoriales en español de terceros, yo tuve que apoyarme con uno de esos.Puntos a tener en cuenta:Definitivamente el trabajo de cambio de carcasa es complicado, laboreoso y requiere alta precisión y cuidados. Si nunca has trabajado con electrónica o similar, no tomes estes proyecto a la ligera, particularmente el tema de los joycon es bastante complejo y delicado, los flexores y demás componentes son piezas que, de no manejarse adecuadamente, podrían dejar inutilizable el joycon en cuestión. También te recomiendo que elijas el diseño/color de manera conciente. En mi caso elegí el diseño SNES y el acabado es mate, y la superficie susceptible a manchas dactilares; no me preocupa demasiado porque limpio habitualmente mi nintendo switch y la uso poco en modo portátil, sin embargo creo que hay carcasas como las traslúcidas que pueden disimular mejor las manchas.Finalmente:Si tu Nintendo Switch ya tiene años contigo y, sobre todo, si tu garantía ya expiró, te recomiendo ampliamente éste kit si quieres darle una nueva imagen a tu consola, queda genial y al final sientes que todo el trabajo valió la pena.

Super slick shell replacement!
Looks incredible once installed. TAKE YOUR TIME and do not force the screws. The tools provided are more than adequate to do the job, but you need to be patient and not rush anything. The tutorials they have on youtube showing you how to install this is pretty great, just be sure to flip the right joycon's ZR cable the correct way (gold connector facing down) and you'll be good (they mention this in the video description).

No protege, solo cambia el diseño
No protege, solo que cambia el aspecto, hay que desmontar los plásticos existentes y montar estos

Gran reemplazo para la carcasa original de Switch
El acabado genial, lo único que puedo poner como negativo es que el destornillador incluido, las puntas no son de muy buena calidad, es mejor usar uno propio de mas calidad para el trabajo.

Double check the provided screwdriver heads for a proper fit, or you will strip the screws
The two heads for the screw driver provided does not fit, it's much too large, instantaneously stripped the first screw I attempted, however, they fit all replacement screws that are included perfectly.Overall construction process was made simple with the easy to follow 20 minutes video, stopping play and following along exactly as shown took about two hours to complete (including removal of the stripped screw).Design and feel of the new shell is far better then the stock switch, the bottons are single Injection as opposed to double injection, just means they may wear faster then stock a/b/x/y buttons.Only reason I can't give this product 5 stars is because of the screwdriver bit error.
