Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The finish is glossy. The only bad thing is that they are major fingerprint magnets. Does pick up finger prints like crazy though.

The color of these shells is a beautiful red-purple shimmer that shifts to a yellow-green color. Chrome is my husbands fave color and he absolutely loves the new shells.

A lot of people complain about their triwing screws stripping because of the screw driver that’s included. This kit comes with both screw drivers (phillips and the special 3 prong one) and all screws and springs in case you lose them. They make unlock...  Read More

The aftermarket ones look great. Almost like factory with some minor imperfections if you really look. Overall they look great and i would gladly buy again.

Cons

It takes hours and the screw driver broke so now i can't even finish the other side. It’s only the plastic shell, none of the electronics or mechanical components.

Quality


If the finish holds up i will be very satisfied with this product


Instructions are pretty clear build quality is solid


I recommend watching a video on how to change the housing before buying the product


Be careful with the gold one its a fingerprint magnet

Packaging/appearance


Neither was on the joycons but on the switch itself as i also ordered the matching back plate

Competitiveness


Overallgreat casings would definitely recommend if you have the patience and time to replace your joycon casing


On my other set of joycons the screwdrivers worked like a charm


It is kind of time consuming though and i had to take a joycon apart like twice


I dropped my switch a few days ago and it landed on the left joycon busting it into a lot of pieces

    I needed to unfortunately undo my progress because i had missed a screw but taking out one of the z trigger buttons was so difficult i ended up cracking part of it

    I have never taken apart electronics before and was able to do this

    It is not a quick project for a beginner

    I also got a different toolkit at the urging of other reviewers


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    It was very difficult for me at least to detach and reattach those


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Only wish is the video would be more descriptive when using the gold vs silver screws since they’re so small it can be hard to tell the difference in the video
