Best With overhangs: Extremerate Bottom Shell

Buy on Amazon

The extremerate bottom shell might be a relatively new release, but it's still nothing short of impressive this year, thanks to multiple price cuts and added new features over the past few iterations. They fit like original equipment, they look and feel fantastic. The thin layer of paint will collect sweat and hand smudges supper fast. The plate also is bent or not even the same shape of original parts because there is a noticable gap above each bumper button.

The translucent black is super aesthetically pleasing, and you can even see the rumble motors working when the controller vibrates.
