The 12 Best Xbox One Controller housing shells (2023 reviews)

This extremerate controller shell is capable of outshining several other products featured in this list in overall features. The covers fit perfectly on the controller. It is semi-slick, matte soft plastic. The surface is slick and will collect up your hand "gunk" especially around the grips, so give it a once over with a damp cloth once a week. They give you a hex head screwdriver, and extra mounting screws if you manage to loose one or two.

The coverplate is definitely a very good deal, the quality is fine and the shell itself is soft and non-irritable, if you have the know-how and the tools to install it, this is definitely better than a sticker skin. It looks neat and is pretty easy to install.

Great smooth grip, soft in hand and feels silky
Anti slip, sweat free for a long period game playing
