PayPaleXtremeRate emailed out an exciting new Steam Deck accessory. It's a new back shell design, with back buttons you can easily swap.
They're up for pre-order priced at either $29.99 or $31.99 depending on the colour you go for. The idea of buttons you can easily swap sounds good, as you might want different sizes on each of them depending on how you're going to use them, and how long your fingers are. And, the colours just look really cool too.
Colours include black, frosted white, clear, clear slate and clear atomic purple.
Must admit, even though nowadays I don't really do any mods on either of my Steam Decks, this actually has me tempted. The colours look awesome, and I do love the button customization to make them just a little bit more comfortable for my tiny hands.
Check out their video on it below:

The only thing they haven't made clear is the release date. They say it's up for pre-order in the email to GamingOnLinux, their website says pre-order but they also say ready to ship with no dates listed. So — sometime soon.
See their website for info.

They look cool though.
Trouble is the front half of the original shell came damaged new so some screws are already shot or some peices already snapped, which is why I opted for a full shell replacement as daunting as it sounds.
I think I'd like a little more to a back plate alone for that price but it doesnt look bad.
Now if they could just offer a forest green, not lime, not emerald green, a nice dark forest green heh.
Glad they didnt stop makong shell replacements tpo, thought that would wind down a bit with new cobaoles popping up.
Swapping the front and back plastic: a little over an hour
Swapping just the back plastic: a little under 5 minutes
Also it looks like they have added a release date on some of the shop links from the video. Amazon US is saying "This item will be released on September 10, 2025", AliExpress has a delivery date of Sep 12-21, and eBay says Estimated between Mon, Sep 15 and Fri, Sep 19. So it looks like it'll be available pretty soon!
