They could also make translucent colors of the current switch lites. Like yellow, pink and blue. So the solid color could work well with the translucent color.
I just got a Teal version, so a clear teal would be boss, since I plan on adding a Vaporeon sticker to the back to go with the teal color, and if there is a 3ds translucent Purple, I would jump on it in a heartbeat.
dragnridr05 that color/sticker combo sounds amazing! I just ordered mine but they only had gray in stock and I didn’t feel like waiting any longer. I wonder if I can do anything cool looking with gray
I’ve been looking for that shirt ever since he started wearing it in his videos, I want one of ‘em so bad, especially cuz I don’t got too many dope Dragonball shirts lmao
I just ordered a new shell and all new buttons for my switch lite. My husband said he would take care of it for me, but maybe I can watch your tutorial a few times and surprise him by learning a thing or two to help him 😊
Have a local repair shop do it, these are actually fairly standard procedures for phone repair so those people are typically trained on how to do that kind of stuff safely. I have to use heat guns on phones all the time
I love the atomic purple see-through look. I had an atomic gbc back in the day. I haven't gotten a lite yet, I'm not crazy on the matt color options. I'm not down for doing these steps myself, but if Nintendo released an Atomic purple switch lite in stores, then I'd have a hard time not adding one to cart.
Too bad I cant get this either but my problem is I got the special edition pokemon lite with the blue and red buttons. I just wouldn't want to take it apart as I have a clear case to compliment it to.
@@citrusbutter7718 there are etsy shops that sell new systems, and some can just install it for you. This process in the video isn't difficult, you just need to go slow and follow the instruction video from extremerate while you go. I just bought the watermelon red/pink transparent version shell and i'm about to do it myself. Its scary if you haven't done it before, but it really is easy as long as you follow the directions and take your time. I've reshelled 3 pair of joycons and one switch oled, so im getting pretty comfortable with the process now.
This reminds me of modifying your PC with custom neon color water cooler. Looks cool, costs money, labor of love, high risk for catastrophe, no real practical advantage.
Warning now is not the right time to be pre-ordering your video games or even anyting from Amazon they're having issues delivering people packages just wait until it is a safer time to pre-order your games you're better off getting your games digitally even though physical is better because it helps save space on your memory card
lmao facts, he need to make a online service or online store where he offers services to do things like this or fix your console for money like he used to do when working at GameStop lmao he could probably make a lot of money by doing that, but at the same time he literally uploads everyday and does a 3 hour podcast as well so I don’t think he’s got the time to be doing that lmao
Upon further reflection, couldn't you use the OG grey shell backing, with the smoke clear top? Since the back doesn't have much to see anyway, couldn't you just use the Nintendo back piece, as then it would accent the bezel and clear grey shell on the front? Then having the official backing piece would make it look even more official.
love how these look I just hate that the back panel has that silver plate that looks so dull... maybe adding a vinyl decal with the switch logo would be great or a themed one.
Only thing that I would like to change about my grey Switch Lite are the white buttons/triggers, I'd rather have them be black, but I don't know how I could even change that.
I would probably only do a shell swap in the event of my screen breaking to be honest. Like if you cracked your screen you could just buy the LCD and digitizer in the color you want then fit that to the new shell and swap your other parts over. Would make more sense for me than potentially damaging the screen while removing it from the old shell.
Ifixit has a great tool kit. I use theirs when I did my reshell. I also used their anti static organizer to keep my screws together. Not sponsored but their stuff works and it’s also magnetic so the screws don’t get lost (because they are tiny!)
I think the biggest factor for re-shelling is having the grey Switch Light since the darker bezel would work better with the other colors. Also ngl not digging the 9er's shirt lol
Did this to my own Turquoise switch, but with the smoked shell/housing, i didnt use the screen protector, and i think it looks really unique, even kept some of the turquoise port covers aswell, i wouldnt recommend someone do this unless you take things apart all the time and are really 'tech savy' i can see alot of novices or younger people damaging their switch lites as a result of trying this, especially in regards to the screen and ribbon cables.
Thanks for showing off the smoke black! I've been thinking about getting this brand's smoke black joy-con casing for awhile but keep hesitating wondering "does it really look that different from the standard clear?" Here I can tell that yes, it is different. Combined with the lighting, it almost looks like a dark metallic gray at some angles. Very cool.
Ooh I’ve never seen the smoke black with the grey before. That may be my personal favourite now. I really wanted to like the purple but the white buttons aren’t growing on me
Pause at 7:27 I kind of like the blue outline with the purple shell and with time I think it would grow on most. Save yourself the eyesore of the thick screen protector with the black border. And why didn’t they make it purple to match?
I'm planning to get the all clear shell, and keeping all my yellow components within the unit(the grey parts as well), so that way I can just keep the bezel already in place. I actually like the yellow color on it's own, so I figured those accents will make it unique to other units that may do this same case mod. I've done several of these to my DS Lite and PSP back in the day, and nothing was ever to hard, but you do need to be organized and take your time, and you should be OK!
whats wrong with just putting the atomic purple shell on the grey switch lite and not using the protector ? i don't think the charcoal bezel would look bad with the purple
I still have my nintendo power mags from late '99 into 2000 that first advertised and promoted the new colored N64's, they assigned certain game genres and even particular games to the consoles in marketing them
I’m not a mod expert, but when I do even simple phone or switch screen protectors, I like to wear latex gloves to prevent fingerprints. The downside is if the gloves aren’t snug and have some slack, it affects dexterity.
So what did to my switch lite gray is that i bought the ifixit tool and the dark clear case from the same company. i am a little bit uncomfortable with removing the entire switch just for the case and knowing the current situation. I decided to only replace the back case of the switch. So before putting my dark clear case on i added a decal sticker on the Metal shield it look super cool im glad that i went with it. As for the front i ended up using a really cool dark decal from Dbrand with their big option for tempered glass it match really well with the gray bezel. The one downside i have for these clear cases that the SD and Game card slots aren't that great with their quality being really cheap and so i wanted to keep all the original parts from my switch for these slots however the original game card plastic piece does not match the clear case, the case is slightly bigger for the plastic piece to go in. I have heard that not all clear case are the same side so i was lucky that i can screw the back clear case on to my original front case
So glad I bought a good heat gun awhile back lol Rarely used it so far but was planning to get into phone repair. Just dont have a spot to make a proper safe work space just yet.
the grey switch lite bezel can't look that bad in the atomic purple shell can it? The atomic purple Gameboy & N64 controller both had grey buttons on them.
Excellent TechWave video Jon(SW). This is too much for me too do lol but I like both Colours and they make the OG Switch n Switch Lite look really cool aswell.
I agree I really don't like their method of just covering up the digitizer with a screen protector, I wish they would just make third party digitizers for the Nintendo switch and switch lite then you could have any color bezel you wanted and possibly even a real glass screen since the switch screen is plastic.
Did you have any issues with the "joy con bulge" that some installers found prominent with these shells? Just curious if it may have been a manufacturing or install issue. Any issues with trigger function? Thanks!
stupid question: does this void warranty? I’m assuming yes because you’re tampering with the device, but technically if you break your switch this would be done anyways but replaced with a stock case
I finished doin this yesterday all the buttons works. The only thing that got fucked up is my screen it has cracks what can I do? Where can I get a replacement couldnt find any solid ones.
You should do tests to see how necessary that rear metal shield is... aka do temp test on regular switch and lite with and without the metal shield... cause if it doesnt make a meaningful difference it might be worth it to not out the shield on for a transparent case so you could see more of those pretty insides

Giorno weird no comments
I do not have the patience or skill for this. Pretty cool though.

If you can cook anything, than you should be able to do this.
this is OD
hmmm....yeah, a JoyCon? Sure, that's not all that hard really. I'm not sure about this though, haha.
J Smooth how’d you make that correlation?
King Mortimer right scrambled eggs and disassembling and reassembling my $200 switch isn’t the same lmao

“You got any games on your phone?”
LMAO 😂😂
Maybe you’re easily influenced
He wore the frieza shirt for this video so the colors could match
Steady on, we have a detective on the case, well done you!!!!
Aww I see what he did there!
At least he's dressed in this video 😂
I’ve been looking for that shirt ever since he started wearing it in his videos, I want one of ‘em so bad, especially cuz I don’t got too many dope Dragonball shirts lmao

Looks great, but NOPE! I draw the line at heat gun, replacing tape and fear that i will get dust between the screen and digitizer.

If it something nintendo fans want, it probably won't happen unfortunately lol
Too bad I cant get this either but my problem is I got the special edition pokemon lite with the blue and red buttons. I just wouldn't want to take it apart as I have a clear case to compliment it to.
The grey is actually a beautiful color but I was waiting for a nice lavender myself. Atomic purple would be amazing even if limited edition.

I'm too dumb and too paranoid for custom loops.
Seems like a lengthy process LOL! Liked!
Im way too lazy to do this.
Just turned mine atomic purple. Absolute success.
The screen protector turned out well. It’s not too thick that it gets in the way.
The screen protector looks giant
im having a panic attack just watching this video hahaha
ikr lmao
weakling
Thank you!!! Never ever, EVER going to try this.
Atomic purple w/ grey bezel. How would that look?
You’ve been so obsessed with getting a purple switch I am happy you finally got something like this lol
I mentioned this in a few vids, but can we all take a moment to appreciate bmi, n how hard that is to shift.
Spawn, you're nailin it!!!
I would love to do this but I’m not a crafty person
I love the nostalgic feel of atomic purple, but the black looks really good and i love how it looks like one solid unit rather than a shell!
Just buy a grey digitizer it you have another switch lite colour. They're pretty inexpensive, 10 Bucks I believe
"Digitizer"? Is that the capacitive touch sensor piece?
Can I pay you to switch mine out 😂
This
Good question. I need two PS4 controllers fixed. I don't have the skill.

The transparent black one is the best one.
I'm not certain I'd be ambitious enough for this but I have to say that purple does look really, REALLY nice.
5:19 You can go frame by frame when paused with the , and . buttons so you can see the reflection in it's full glory.

I have a grey switch lite so and thinking of doing the smokey grey shell so I feel like the bezel won’t be as big a deal for me.

"You dont want Turquoise or Yellow buttons with your purple switch case"

Fernando Martinez I’m going clear wit turquoise I’m bad putting screen protectors on

The Atomic Purple looks fresh. I never realize how much I dislike the white buttons on the switch lite until seeing them in those beautiful cases.
Ooh I’ve never seen the smoke black with the grey before. That may be my personal favourite now. I really wanted to like the purple but the white buttons aren’t growing on me
Very cool video 👍 I would never attempt this myself, but fun to see.
i reshelled the switch without taking off the digitizer. i just kept my yellow boarder on my new purple shell. its cool
Smoke grey works... I like that and no bezel issues if you have the grey switch lite...
Awesome video man. Okay I need a hair dryer? Sure why not. Next, what the heck is cellphone tape? I'm out. Lol!
I had the Atomic Purple Gameboy back in the day, really loved it. The Switch looks great with it.
Woah looking thin Spawnwave!
Jon I've grown to love this channel. Second favorite. Switch up first.
Pause at 7:27 I kind of like the blue outline with the purple shell and with time I think it would grow on most. Save yourself the eyesore of the thick screen protector with the black border. And why didn’t they make it purple to match?
Love these shells
Could you not use a black vinyl wrap around the original border to cover up the color and throw on your glass screen protector afterwards?
You’re the third youtuber I’ve seen show off this shell. I wish I could pay someone to do this for me.
That gray one looks pretty nice.
... Nintendo _really_ needs to start going ham with special decos on their Switches. :T
I was waiting for this to be a thing!
you're
So why not use the grey bezzeled one on the purple? Seems like it would match better than the black screen protector fix.

whats wrong with just putting the atomic purple shell on the grey switch lite and not using the protector ?
i don't think the charcoal bezel would look bad with the purple
Great video, personally my ocd would keep me from trying to do this for fear it would break or damage my device.
I wonder how the grey bezel looks okay instead of using the black bezel screen protector on Atomic Purple.
It looks so beautiful. When I get a switch, I'm getting it in the atomic purple color. Nuff said.
I still have my nintendo power mags from late '99 into 2000 that first advertised and promoted the new colored N64's, they assigned certain game genres and even particular games to the consoles in marketing them
Watched your channel here and there...the SF 49ers shirt forced me to subscribe.
Yeah ill just keep my grey screen. It looks fine.
I’m not a mod expert, but when I do even simple phone or switch screen protectors, I like to wear latex gloves to prevent fingerprints. The downside is if the gloves aren’t snug and have some slack, it affects dexterity.
Love the shirt, and of course the color of the switch lite shell.
I started doing this, and was thwarted by a stripped screw. Now I have to decide if I want to order a screw extractor or not.
I dont get why they dont make the grey still. I just copped a blue one open box online. But wanted the grey for the bezel.
I love these diy videos. Greetings from Brazil!
I’m not chancing it, but here’s hope that Nintendo will do an official atomic purple either clear or just color. 🤞🏼

I love the video shoot studio set up
My full size Switch is reshelled with a Smoked Black Transparent shell (joycons and system) and I absolutely love that look.
Looks nice and clean. :D
The smoke black looks good!
lov the bg mr spawnwave sir 😁👍 hope to one day b as passionate about smt as u are of the color purple
Why don’t they make replacement shells for the 3ds xl?? I’ve re-shelled all my handhelds except the 3ds xl and it’s looking shabby. Drives me nuts!
the grey switch lite bezel can't look that bad in the atomic purple shell can it? The atomic purple Gameboy & N64 controller both had grey buttons on them.
I have not seen a NSL replacement Shell with a kick stand.
I have a question: there is some way to change the "virtual color" like the joycons with the pc software?
Do they have other colors for the other none face buttons? Like d-pad and L/ZL R/ZR?
I don’t have enough money or technical savvy to try this but it looks so awesome.
I’ve been seeing so many of these types of videos lately (Joycons, consoles, and lites) I wish I had the balls to even attempt a reshell 😂
Excellent TechWave video Jon(SW).
This is too much for me too do lol but I like both Colours and they make the OG Switch n Switch Lite look really cool aswell.
I swear you made pulling the screen off look so easy.
Hahaha glad you saw the Kenson video. I had a feeling you would like that.
If a jungle green one releases then I'll probably try it out.
Asher W they have it already
@@SwagMaster824 Where?

Maybe when CV is gone, they can make glass digitizers. I was really hoping the original switch would have than.
Good stuff👍both are dope but I'm leaning more towards the purple colorway.
Did you have any issues with the "joy con bulge" that some installers found prominent with these shells? Just curious if it may have been a manufacturing or install issue. Any issues with trigger function? Thanks!

New studio looks really nice
I want to replace my shell but I dont want to void the warranty when the joy con drift begins having to send it for replacement..
My screen got a burn mark on it It’s just the digitizer part can I find replacement ones?
Just imagine Nintendo had gone for a Black PCB... It would look so nice on the smoked black one.
What about pairing the atomix purple with the gray Switch Lite? Its not black, but it should look okish?
You should do tests to see how necessary that rear metal shield is... aka do temp test on regular switch and lite with and without the metal shield... cause if it doesnt make a meaningful difference it might be worth it to not out the shield on for a transparent case so you could see more of those pretty insides
he said unless they came out with a black switch lite. what about the grey one? watch kevin kensons video on this reshell
Finally! I've been looking for this before purchasing the Lite. But will still hold off until a red replacement shell is made available. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I like the black more. But the purple reminds me of my first Gameboy color.
