Remember, if you replace the back shell. REMOVE THE MICRO SD CARD. You can snap it if it is still in the Steam Deck when you remove the back. The metal back plate does get hot but it's not bad enough to seriously hurt you. If you leave a finger on long enough, it will get seriously uncomfortable.

KEVIN. PERFECT TIMING. 😍😍😍 I’ve been wanting this video and just got a steam deck.

I’ve done a full shell replacement making it transparent black. Only took about 4 hours without rushing, mostly pausing the install video and making sure it was done right. Used the Extreme Rate brand and it works well so far. I’d like to get colored buttons soon to make it really pop.

I'd recommend against getting the transparent shell. That mod on the backplate will end up lessening your device's lifespan. The thick thermal pad beneath the aluminum plate will end up trapping heat and keep it over some of the components. The pad also blocks the airflow channels on the shield above the heatsink.

Please be advised that version of the jsaux back plate with the exposed metal plate is not the best option. The metal plate on the back gets incredibly hot, almost too hot to the touch of your fingers hit it. Jsaux makes a update version that works better for cooling. There are also several other transparent backplates that don’t change any function of the cooling of the deck

Can you shout out the transparent ones that doesn't mess with cooling please?

Really do not understand the point of slapping a grip on the Steam Deck. Why add more bulk to an already bulky system for something that already has good ergonomics.

Got my OLED used for $450 1TB upgraded SSD. The owner got a Legion Go and used that more so sold me the deck for a good price super happy

Tipp if you want a smaller travel case, you can. Remove the inner layer of the official case to get much smaller case. (Dont know if its only for the oled version)

will the current jsaux shells work for the oled? i want to swap my oled into an atomic purple shell already.

Just did my JSAUx back plate and a 2tb SSD upgrade. Real damn easy! They really wanted us to upgrade this device. Back plate took like 7-10 min. SSD took like 2-3 minutes. Making a steam is good usb was easy and painless install

How is the satisfy case now? For example when playing longer time and if heat's up?

UYIYE Kickstand Case for Steam Deck. I have 2 different color ways as well as some Skull and Co stick caps for my gulikit sticks.

Nice Kev!

Dbrand case rip off. Even the face cover!

What kind of screw driver did you say we need ? You said it so fast lol . Thank you for your video !

should also throw out replacing the shell will void your warranty as well. If you want to do it, you might want to wait until your official year is up first.

When can we have a Kevin / Kinda funny collab ? I think you and Tim Gettys would have interesting and cool conversations.

Honestly just splash out and get the jsaux bundle. It comes with basically everything. A shell for protection+front cover,the back is modular with stuff like a battery holder, fan,etc, case has a built in kick stand, you get a fan attachment that’s more gimiky but is kinda useful, a portable battery, and a hub that’s basically a dock

The staisfeye grip is just a straight copy of dbrands case for the steamdeck just worse cause no kickstand. Surprised you didnt mention this Kevin

This guy talks way too fast.

You repeated the fact that changing the front of the Deck is a lot more involved and you're saving it for a future video 3 to 4 times in this video. I think it's better if you follow some kind of script because your videos kind of feel blabber-y and repetitive and a somewhat waste of time to watch.
