Full description

eXtremeRate full shell for Steam Deck LCD: change the whole housing in one go

A scratched, yellowed or simply too plain Steam Deck LCD gets a complete makeover with this kit: front shell, back shell and full set of buttons in the same colour. eXtremeRate is a benchmark for replacement shells for handheld consoles, and this model fits without soldering.

What it does

  • Complete housing: the front shell and back shell replace the two original half-shells.
  • Matching buttons: the button set comes in the same colour as the shell.
  • Nine finishes: seven translucent (including a colourless clear one), one glow-in-the-dark and one opaque white.
  • Tools and screws included: screwdrivers, opening tools, screws and springs are in the box.

What it doesn't do

  • This is not a console. No electronic parts are included: screen, trackpads, joysticks, battery, fan and motherboard are transferred from your Steam Deck.
  • It is not suitable for the Steam Deck OLED, whose shell is different.
  • It improves neither cooling, nor battery life, nor performance.
  • On the translucent colours, the internal ribbon cables, adhesives and labels remain visible.

Compatibility

Steam Deck LCD (2022 model) only. Not compatible with the Steam Deck OLED or with other handheld gaming PCs. Opening the console may end the manufacturer's commercial warranty.

Skill level required

Advanced level, no soldering. The Steam Deck must be fully disassembled: open the back shell, disconnect the battery before anything else, then transfer the screen, motherboard, modules and buttons piece by piece into the new shell. Plan a long, quiet session, photographing each step and sorting the screws.

In the box

  • 1 front shell and 1 back shell for Steam Deck LCD, in the chosen colour.
  • 1 full set of matching buttons.
  • 2 screwdrivers and 2 opening tools.
  • Screws (93) and 8 springs.

The job: a Steam Deck that looks like you

Scratches on the back, a marked front, a wish to see inside: you disassemble the Steam Deck LCD, transfer the screen, motherboard and modules into the new shell, and reassemble with matching buttons. No soldering, but it takes method: it is a full disassembly, piece by piece.

The part: a complete eXtremeRate shell

eXtremeRate is one of the most established makers of replacement shells for handheld consoles and controllers. This kit brings together the front shell, the back shell and all the buttons in the same colour, with the tools and screws. It is designed for the 2022 Steam Deck LCD and does not fit the OLED version.

Before disassembling: what to plan for

First check that your console is indeed a Steam Deck LCD. Disconnect the battery before touching anything else, keep fine tweezers for the ribbon cables and a compartmented screw tray. Photograph each step. A question about your model or the disassembly? Our customer service replies within 1 business day.

Why buy here rather than on a marketplace

It is a fair question. Here is the answer, straight.

We verify, they list

Every listing is checked before publication: real compatibility, material, dimensions, box contents. Many models never make it into the catalogue.

Customer service that speaks French

A question about compatibility, a fit problem, a return: you write, a human replies within 1 business day. In French.

2-year legal warranty, 14-day returns

The 2-year legal warranty of conformity is handled by us — not by a form on the other side of the world. And 14 days to change your mind, with no need to justify yourself.

The price is comparable, the rest is not

We do not claim to be the cheapest. We claim that you will know exactly what you are buying before you pay.
