Sorry if this has already been asked. I tried to do a search, but it's a bit harder to figure out how to focus the search on Lemmy. Anyway, I want to buy one of these shells as a present for my wife, but I want to make sure they're worth it. Does anyone have any personal experience with them? I haven't been able to find much in the way of reviews on them so far. Thanks!

I was thinking about getting the green one. I currently have the clear jsaux back but I keep burning my leg on accident from the metal plate. I'm just cautious about the screen although I'm confident I can do it. I have an extremerate shell for my series x controller that I love.

Green is nice looking too, I think if I hadn't had my heart set on atomic purple I would have gone with the opaque blue/purple color shift one.

You should just remove the thermal pad... It will function identically to the stock back with no weirdly hot metal part.
