      transparent custom shells already exist. the problem is, that transparent plastics tend to be more brittle than solid colors

        Ive done a shell swap on my steam deck and while Its worth it and it looks amazing it was a PROCESS because you have to unglue the screen and the touch pads (if you want to swap those too) you basically disassemble the entire device

          Yeah, I’d love to do it myself, but once I saw that you have to unglue the screen I decided that I have enough projects going on right now. lol

          Did this too. Can confirm, it was quite the process.

        There’s actually an official transparent case Steam Deck too. They had the limited edition OLED when it first came out.
