eXtremeRate Antique Yellow DIY Replacement Shell for Nintendo Switch Lite, NSL Handheld Controller Housing w/Screen Protector, Custom Case Cover for Nintendo Switch Lite

I couldn’t be happier with the eXtremeRate Soft Touch Black DIY Replacement Shell. The quality is outstanding—lightweight yet durable, with a smooth, velvety soft-touch finish that feels amazing in the hands. It gives my Switch Lite a premium, almost brand-new feel. The fit is incredibly precise. Every button, port, and screw hole lined up perfectly. It’s definitely a DIY project, but the shell is engineered well enough that the process felt more fun than frustrating. The final result looks sleek, minimalist, and completely factory-level. If you want to refresh your Switch Lite or just give it a stylish new look, this shell is absolutely worth it. High-quality materials, great feel, and a stunning finish—eXtremeRate nailed it! Highly recommended! 🎮

This was my first time doing a major shell swap like this on a console, and extremeRate killed it! The video guide that goes along with the shell installation was super helpful, and I was able to do it in under 3 hours. I used my own tools, but the included screwdrivers felt super nice, especially for the price. Installing the shell with all the internals fit just right. The case feels sturdy and has a soft texture to the back, which feels awesome to hold, especially for longer sessions. I didn’t use the white buttons that came with the white shell (I bought a black set also from extremeRate), but both button sets feel nice over the stock rubber membranes. Super worth the effort and the price!

the shell feels really nice and soft, and the color looks way better in person. it comes with all of the tools needed and extra screws + springs. the install wasn't too difficult but definitely time consuming (2-3+ hours) as a beginner. I recommend following Erica Griffin's tutorial and using a magnetic screwdriver. my only complaints are that seems to stain more easily than the Nintendo shell, and I had to sand down my L button a teeny bit to get it to not stick in this shell.

This white replacement shell for the Nintendo Switch Lite is exactly what I was looking for. The build quality is excellent, with smooth edges and a solid, well-fitted finish. It gives my Switch Lite a clean, minimal look that stands out from the standard colors. Installation does take some time and patience — this isn’t a beginner-level DIY job — but if you’re comfortable opening up electronics, it’s very rewarding. All the screw holes lined up perfectly, and the buttons fit snugly without sticking. Overall, I’m extremely satisfied with the result. It feels like a brand new device, and the quality is on par with the original shell. Highly recommended for anyone looking to customize their Switch Lite.

This kit is great! Everything fits very well! I had to pick up some extra tools and thermal paste but the shell is great quality! I love that I can use my switch lite in my favorite console color. This is my first shell swap and it was easy!

UPDATE: After some time mine has begun to stain. On the front it's getting a sort of reddish stain wherever my hands are most (so I guess caused by skin oils or something.) On the back it's getting big gray stains I guess from the official Nintendo (so not some generic third party) case I like to keep it in sometimes to protect it. So far nothing I've tried to use to clean it off will remove the stains either. Given that this is supposed to be at least somewhat permanent of a modification, this is actually a pretty serious problem... While initially I really loved it, I have to pretty much deduct all the stars in that it effectively doesn't seem to be made to be permanent, yet it basically has to be. At the very least I must say don't buy the white version because you'll ultimately regret it. As others have said, it is an involved process to do the actual installation. I was quite leery for obvious reasons. Particularly about dealing with the screen, but also ribbon cables are not fun to deal with ever. However, if you follow the instructions properly and pretty much just do it as you watch the video (pausing when necessary to stay with it) the process really isn't too bad. I would suggest that having a phone repair kit handy can help with a few points of the process, but it isn't required. You do need some sort of tweezers though and the long thin kind used in those kits is generally best for dealing with ribbon cables. The screwdrivers they included work just great though. I'm actually glad they didn't include a replacement digitizer because that would add considerably to the cost (and I'm not very confident about replacing a digitizer properly anyway.) Rather than a screen protector, perhaps they could have kept it simpler by just including a simple sticker to put on top of any normal screen protector. I didn't get it right and had to toss it due to dust and such getting in there, but the included protector felt way too thick and I suspect wasn't as sturdy as a good one (though I haven't tested that much I admit.) I had the gray Switch Lite so it doesn't look bad to leave it off on mine, but that may be troublesome for some of the more colorful systems. Overall it looks just amazing and works great. I do worry about the screen potentially being able to come loose and they didn't include any extra tape so you have to be very very careful on the removal process since you have to reuse the old tape (particularly you need to keep it flat without any bunching or misshaping.) Pull it very slowly as you go. It would have been nice if they had at least included one just in case. It seems to be a fairly typical double-sided tape, so I think they could have included one easily enough. Particularly at this pricerange. But if you are careful enough it should probably be ok. I do also want to say that towards the end of the video in the reassembly process I felt like the order of a few parts of reassembly was wrong, including one part where the board should have been secured and everything properly routed through first before attaching a ribbon cable, but overall it was very easy to follow and did do a good job. (Also, it had music all the way through but it wasn't obnoxious. Some are, so I was grateful for that.) I do have to say the "soft plastic" thing doesn't seem to have worked out exactly as described. It actually had less of a grip than the original Switch Lite's plastic did. It's not a deal-breaker though. It's not actually slippery or anything, just with less grip in comparison. Far better than the 3DS XL with its almost glassy smooth surface just for instance. (Thank goodness Nintendo learned from that. It may be shiny to look at, but it's not actually good for use.) I was also a bit annoyed that they didn't include any buttons they didn't absolutely have to. At the overall cost of the whole thing I really don't think it would have added anything significant to include the duplicate buttons, particularly for some of the harder to deal with ones like the screenshot and home buttons. In comparison, they included a full set of duplicate screws and even springs in case any were lost in the process which likely costs more than buttons would have. (It's good to allow for some potential for loss, but I don't think they needed to include a full set and the buttons or membranes can also be lost.) By the way, when you use the heat gun on your original case it will most likely warp -- particularly as you separate the screen. Putting the metal frame back might help straighten it out again, but consider this to be a mostly one-way process.

So so pretty! I love this so much. I bought my switch during covid, when the pink one was always sold out. So ever since I really wanted mine to be pink, but I hated how the stickers looked. I'm absolutely clueless when it comes to technology, but I was able to do this pretty easily with help from the guide on their website. I recommend keeping track of the screws and where they go, but there's also a guide for the screws on the website too. It also comes with replacement screws. Also I would use your own screw drivers for this, I ended up stripping one of my screws in the beginning (I had to get my dad to help remove it 😅). You'll also need a heat gun! I actually used my hairdryer, which gets really hot and it worked for me. Also because I don't trust our heat gun. It shoots fire. 😗

10/10 compa, no lo dude, jala al 100 es para la lite, se siente rico, aparte trae el protector, joya

Good quality. Nice colour. Fits perfect no issues.

Auch bei meiner Switch hat irgendwann der linke analog Stick den Geist aufgegeben und knarzende Geräusche gemacht. Nach der Reperatur beim Hersteller hat ein Vollprofi eine der weichen und billigen Schrauben rund gedreht, so dass ich den Stick nicht wechseln konnte. Dieses Set hat eine riesen Auswahl an Ersatzteilen so dass man quasi das gesamte Case auswechseln kann, inklusive aller Joysticks und Buttons. Selbst ein neues Displayglas ist im Lieferumfang enthalten sollte das Original schon zerkratzt oder beschädigt sein. Begeisterung 10/10. Das mitgelieferte Werkzeug erfüllt seinen Zweck bestens und die Qualität der Schrauben ist super, alles sitzt wie gewohnt fest. In meinem Fall habe ich nur die Rückseite gewechselt und die Einschübe für die Speicherkarte/Gamekarte wie man den Fotos entnehmen kann und was soll ich sagen, es sieht wunderbar aus und fühlt sich angenehm weich an. Das wichtigste: die Passgenauigkeit ist absolut top! Bei dem Preis war ich erst skeptisch aber es war mir das Geld absolut wert. Habe lange nach sowas gesucht aber Ersatzteile hält der tolle Hersteller wohl absichtlich dem Kunden fern damit man das Gerät für viel Geld einschicken muss. Das Auswechseln war denkbar einfach, hierzu gibt es genügend Tutorials auf YouTube zu finden. Mein Dank geht an den Verkäufer, habe mir viel Geld und Nerven gespart. Absolute Kaufempfehlung!

I love this company! Best shells and good quality, I bought before the clear shell however i didn’t really like it. So i bought this white shell best choice! It’s super fun to take apart just remember to unplug battery first. Overall amazing! (should come with two screen protections & WHITE triggers)

this brand has amazing customer support and engagement. I'm not only satisfied with the product but they also take the time to read and respond to every comment on their youtube tutorial for applying the shell with an honest desire for customer satisfaction and with the goal in mind to improve their product. since I'm so nitpicky, I didn't like how the screen protector white on the bezel was slightly more of a cream than the cooler white of the shell so I mentioned this in a comment, they got back to me in half a day and offered a free black bezel screen protector as I mentioned I would have rathered. they also assured me they'll attempt to reduce the difference between the two whites in their production line. I've never had a customer-brand experience like this and its truly blown me away, hence why I'm writing this long comment. definitely recommend extremerates products
