I think it feels even better than original. Soft smooth finish 😌

Ngl I like abxy buttons more on the original but these ones are also quite alright 👍

PS I didn't do the replacement myself 😅

Was replacing the shell hard?

Front shell swap is supposedly a bitch because you have to do the heatgun or blowdryer thing to loosen your screen adhesive while also avoiding melting other parts of the Deck.

Dang. Too bad I had to replace my screen before any of these shells were out.

The back shell is easy, the front shell takes multiple hours.
