      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

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

      If you already own a steamdeck they sell replacement shells. Be forewarned though installation is absolutely insane and takes a loooot of time. I’ve had white installed on mine for about a year and have had no issues with it yellowing.

      I thought this wasn’t really a thing anymore with modern white plastic, no? It’ll still get more visibly dirty though.

    Finally a good solution to my white sd-card. It looks so bad in my black Steam Deck.

      I barely notice it.

      The SD card slot is pointing down when I use it.

      I also have a case which makes it even harder to see.

    I owned a white original model PSP and that thing never looked clean after the first week no matter what I did.

    Honestly people who go all white on everything kinda terrify me…
