Finally joined the squad (Extremerate Clear Orange)
After seeing so many awesome builds here, I finally pulled the trigger and gave my Steam Deck the Extremerate full shell treatment.
I won’t go deep into the assembly process and tips since that’s been covered a lot on this sub (and honestly, those posts helped me a ton, so thank you all).
What I didn’t find much info on though was the clear orange shell. I was a bit hesitant ordering it not sure how it might look in real life.
Happy to report: it looks fantastic.
Photos really don’t do it justice. If you’re on the fence about this color specifically, I’d 100% recommend it.
Also, for anyone thinking “this is probably too advanced for me”, I felt the same way going in. But with patience (and a bit of courage opening it up the first time), it’s absolutely doable. This didn’t feel like pro-only mod to me.
Eyeing the DeckSight screen upgrade for my LCD next. 👀
If you’re considering doing it and have questions or doubts, feel free to ask. Happy to help however I can.
