Honestly it was a lot of fun though I really enjoyed every moment of it. The fact that there are replacement parts available takes a lot of the real stress away from it for me

Same. It’s why I went with the Teardown skin by dbrand. Get that see through look but with an adhesive skin instead. I’ve been very pleased with it.

I’ve got the Clone of the Kingdom skin on mine.

The only things I’m not liking are when using the touchscreen has a weird lip now. And getting the grips to sit pretty is annoying; might just need to apply more heat then try smoothing them out. Did it while applying, but man is it slightly difficult. Other than those two things the skin is fantastic. Would recommend getting one to people if didn’t wanna go through a shell swap.

Lastly, if anyone is interested in one, when it says be careful with the top piece. You REALLY need to go slow and keep your fingers near the wax paper and the sticker. I was going slow then got to the vent part then it just zipped up getting a tear on one side. Luckily it still worked, but made it a slight pain applying that part of the skin.

Mine? SuzyQ? It’s from the CCR song of the same name but with a different spelling.

haha those were screws that came with the kit. I reused about 99% of the original screws wherever possible

I take it this isn’t your first time replacing the housing on a portable device.

I still have the screws on my desk from my original Xbox that I took apart. Really should find out where they came from this weekend

Eh, I usually leave off a few screws on the side panels, makes it easier for future access. XD

there were very few that needed to be the used from the kit I reckon for tolerance reasons. (plus despite my best efforts, the void had to be fed)

I did think about doing that but I didnt think it would look too good. The company I got it from has button replacements and im thinking of going with a solid light green or “matcha” green
