Hardware How to replace Nintendo switch shell ?

Hello, i need to change the nintendo switch shell, all videos on youtube show only how to replace the rear cover but not the outer one that surrounds the console, see attached images.

It's because only recently chinaman has started to make the front

This video is for the digitizer/LCD, but it should also help you. Not sure if you need to unscrew the back stuff if only taking off the plastic screen cover.

This is the right hint. Just follow this guide to about 5:20 min of the Video. At this Point unscrew both Joycon Rails and the 4 Screws in the picture to remove the frame.
