A TRANSPARENT STEAM DECK COULD SOON BE YOURS WITH THESE NEW FRONT PLATES

Jsaux just confirmed that a transparent front shell is on the way. Jsaux carries all manner of other bespoke Steam Deck accessories, including a recently released magnetic cooler that snaps onto its transparent back plates while illuminating them with RGB LEDs. Meanwhile, ExtremeRate made its name selling loads of replacement shell kits. We don’t know what either Steam Deck front shell will cost just yet. But Jsaux tells us that its version will arrive in July, in crystal, brown, and purple. And, it comes with an entire tray full of tools and spaces to slot loose Steam Deck parts while you dissect your handheld. Please note that Valve would frown on such an undertaking, and even iFixit warns that it’s not for the faint of heart. A front shell replacement “involves almost a complete disassembly, including removing the display,” writes iFixit. It’s not anywhere near the same level of difficulty as an easy fan or SSD or joystick replacement, which involve just a thimbleful of screws and a little prying after you remove your SD card. Do not forget to remove your SD card.
