BASSTOP DIY Replacement Shell for the Nintendo Switch - Part 3 - Console
24If you are considering doing this, I highly recommend watching Jerry Rig Everything's video on the subject:
https://youtu.be/L3TeP1G5lO0
His video is very informative and I used it as a guide. However, he is obviously a pro at this, and I am not. Every video I watched basically said it was hard and sped through the process. I wanted to make a detailed video showing how complicated it actually is.
My Switch is fully functional, and I think it looks cool. That being said, I'm not sure I would want to embark on this journey again. I researched it like crazy prior to actually purchasing it and trying the install. I saw multiple posts on Reddit saying the middle part from BassTop was not the best quality. A few people said they kept their original Joy Con middle piece and they had little to no issues, other than the process itself being tedious. Before i did it, I was worried my blue and red middle pieces would look weird with the clear shell, but now I think it looks pretty cool.
In this video I show what all comes in the box when you order the BASSTOP DIY Replacement Housing Shell Case Set. I also show a detailed look at the E.Durable Triwing Screwdriver for Nintendo Bit Set which i used to take my Switch apart.
This took forever, so I am breaking the video series into multiple parts. I tried to cut out as much as I could, but there are still plenty of boring pieces in the video. I just wanted to make sure I showed every step so you can see exactly how complicated this process was. I would not go into this process unless you are ready to potentially buy all new Joy Con controllers.
