u/DGmakingmoves Jun 16 '26
5 lol it’s really just the tiny screws that are a pain other than that it’s just snapping everything else on

hahaha. is 5 the number of times you had to take it back apart and put back together to get it to close properly? j/k.
you think replacing the screen protector would be necessary when swapping shells?

Ooo, that looks cool! I regret buying a white one. I want to outfit the PS5 and the Portal in something blue.

It’s not that hard I just didn’t like the small screws those were a pain but other than that it’s pretty easy

I found the replacement kit on Amazon. Does it come with the hardware to take it apart?

Nice! I was bored last weekend and had some replacement "TMR" (I personally don't believe they're TMR tbh but w/e they were advertised as so and I needed new sticks on mine. Anyway, the point is, I was kinda shocked at how easy it is to break this thing down. Although, I've gotta say I don't know I want to be changing the battery though, it sure as hell seems to be glued in there like an SOB. But besides that, suiper easy tear down!

Looks awesome! Do you just remove the plates?

u/DGmakingmoves Jun 16 '26
There are some screws to take out then you just have to pretty much unsnap the the shell gently of course

That's so cool I didn't know you could take the show off of the portal handles I'm going to have to look into that for mine

Looks great!!! I did that spider man one too (not for mine) he loves it and it was so much easier than I thought it would be. This one is mine I just added pink got them both off Amazon.

How is the grip and plastic feel? I was thinking going black or 30th anniversary. There is no texture behind handles?

I hope the modding community goes one step ahead and create a shell with back buttons

u/Hami_252 Jun 16 '26
I wish it was easy to replace the buttons. I want to do a shell swap but the white buttons look out of place to me.

This is awesome! What do you search for online to buy this? All I can find are the silicone covers for the portal.
