Clear Atomic Purple Steam Deck OLED Full Set Shell with Buttons

In this review of the Clear Atomic Purple Full Set Shell for the Steam Deck OLED, the bottom line is simple: this is for experienced DIYers who want to replace their Steam Deck OLED outer shell and add a distinctive translucent purple look. The package includes a custom faceplate, back plate, full set of buttons and basic tools, and it is precision cut to match the OLED model. If you are comfortable opening consoles and following a detailed disassembly video guide, this replacement shell delivers a unique appearance and good materials; casual users should consider professional installation.

Key Features

• Model fit: Custom designed to fit the Steam Deck OLED handheld console exactly, so cutouts and mounting points align with the original shell.
• Full replacement kit: Includes back plate, faceplate, the full set of buttons, screwdrivers, open tools and spare screws so the swap can be completed without sourcing parts elsewhere.
• Redesigned back buttons: Removable L4/L5 and R4/R5 buttons are redesigned for easier replacement of the back buttons during repair or customization.
• Durable materials: Constructed from premium ABS and PC for a balance of rigidity and impact resistance compared with stock plastic shells.
• Distinctive color: The clear atomic purple finish adds personality to the handheld while still showing some internal detail for a customized look.
• Video guide available: Installation guidance is provided via a searchable YouTube guide; following the video at reduced speed is recommended for safety.

Who It's For

This shell is aimed at experienced electronics hobbyists and Steam Deck owners who want a nonstandard look and are comfortable performing an involved teardown and reassembly. It suits anyone who values a tailored appearance and a full hardware-only replacement without electronic parts.

It is not for casual users who lack repair experience or want a plug-and-play accessory, nor for owners of the original Steam Deck LCD (2022) since this shell does not fit that model. If you prefer a simple snap-on case or worry about warranty and risks during disassembly, look for external covers or professional installation instead.
