Thanks for the help! I ordered this from the link here a long time ago and finally got around to doing the case swap, and the tutorial made it a lot more possible. Great tips too. Much appreciation. I used the black buttons and screw covers, but I also used red A and B buttons. Looks pretty great and I'll enjoy it a lot. I also left the sticker off of the back, but I didn't use the Nintendo logo. People if I can do this you can too so go for it. It is hard though. Mostly the hinges and the ribbon cable. Also finding tiny parts you drop in the carpet. Thanks again!

@emmettturner9452 4 жыл бұрын

The rubber screw covers are supposed to make a gap between the top and bottom halves so that it doesn't sandwich dirt, sand, and other gritty stuff in between that will grind away at the finish or damage the shell. They also cushion the screen when snapping closed. You really should have something!

I did the clear blue shell on my SP and I honestly recommend chucking those screws straight into the garbage can. Stripped out the screws because I couldn't get good enough leverage on them with those. Went out and bought an Ifixit kit to replace the screws. I also managed to strip out the hole on one of the 4 corner screws and the fix for that is using a short length of fishing line in it to give a little meat to bite into. (same thing as if you strip a hole in wood and use a toothpick or matchstick to get the screw to screw in again)

Late to the video, just found the channel like yesterday, but taking out the rubber pads (if you dont want to save them) you can use a thin needle pushed in at and angle and pushed down. They will pop right out without damaging the shell as long as you dont push the needle in too deep.
