The time for making your Steam Deck translucent is upon us! As announced before, eXtremeRate has put some of their Steam Deck shells up for preorder on their website! While we saw 9 shells initially, there are currently 5 of them that are available. These are the 3 translucent ones, the full white, and the full purple shells.
Each purchase of the shells will come with all the tools you will need to install the shell including:
- 1x Backplate
- 1x Faceplate
- 1x Full set buttons
- 2x Screwdriver
- 2x Open shell tool
- 93x Screws
- 8x Springs
The translucent Steam Deck shells are $35.99 each, while the full color shells will be $45.99. I will admit, I love the button changes for the purple/blue and white full color shells. The full white buttons really make the device feel extremely unique.

The Screen is upgradable, Switches, Buttons, full Shell... I can't wait for the battery to get a Solid State version or whichever technology will benefit next from Economy of Scale.
I'm glad Valve isn't throwing new Decks every 6-12 months at the wall. I want to savour my Deck 1 till it is a cherished old memory before I get a Deck 2
Oh and I want a Steam Pal pillow to keep company to my Din Grogu pillow.
