Update 6/2/23: A JSAUX representative responded to us and confirmed this is a transparent front shell that is being teased.
With the incredibly successful kickstarter launch for the awesome OmniCase 2 (which we reviewed), it seems JSAUX isn't slowing down one bit. On the official JSAUX Reddit, one of the moderators there (juran425) posted an update regarding the successful launch and future accessory plans. While they did mention new RGB-Related products, there was one very specific tease that included this photo:
Looking closely, this appears to definitely be a transparent front shell for the Steam Deck. The image above shows a bit of a teardown, along with what looks to be a transparent front. We reached out to JSAUX for confirmation, and while we haven't heard back yet, it would be crazy if this wasn't a transparent front shell. We will update this article once we have more information.
If we are going by their transparent back cover, which is still fantastic, the front shell could include all the parts and tools needed to put it on. We expect it to be significantly more work than putting the back cover on, but it is still amazing to see this feat. It seems the dreams of having a fully transparent Steam Deck are slowly coming true!

Hello to everyone at Team Steam, I have just been placed in this homeless shelter until I find further housing. Anyway I was wondering what I could do to get a Steam Deck right now while I'm facing a rough patch in life all while keeping my head up confidence high and ready for whatever life has planned for me at the moment. Staying focused is my main objective at the time until I find a place and move on. Until then it would be awesome to have a old Deck just to help this time move a little easier. If I had the money I would just buy one but unfortunately I'm caught in the middle of applying for assistance and totally don't have a wooden penny to my name. If you all could help me get a Deck I promise I would promote and do whatever it takes as well as needed in order to make sure everyone knows the Steam Team is where any and all gamers need to join. Thank for your time, God bless and have enjoyable prosperous time working on the future of gaming. 555 Beale St. San Francisco, CA 94105
