How decent is the quality? Do the parts for together well? How about the seams between the two pieces: are they smooth around where they meet?

quality is really quite good, they fit together really well only a small seam at the top near the power button. other than that it is perfectly smooth.

took me about three hours, make sure to look at a couple dfferent tutorials. some tell you to remove the motherboard and heatsink, but you can leave a lot of stuff connected to the middle frame. as for screen removal, i bought the ifixit iopener and followed their guide when i got to that section.

jsaux makes the best tutorial, but watching multiple still helped and this wasn’t the jsaux kit so some of the steps were different.

good luck if you attempt it, if you are patient and take your time you should do fine

Looks amazing! I’d love to do a case mod but after the disaster or a job I did on my Switch I don’t think I could put my Deck through the same 😅
