    Use a guitar pick at the edge near the trigger buttons. Should pop pretty easy if you wiggle it (and get all the screws).

    I think a bigger thing to take care of is the ribbon cable that runs over the plate above the battery connector and drive, as well as the other small cable which has a tether to the same plate. Original SD didn’t have those.





  • It might be a good idea to buy yourself a skin and/or screen protector. Since you’re on campus I assume you might be roaming around a bit so some sort of sling-bag or backpack (with a zipper-lock, maybe with an airtag inside) might also be a good idea.

    Battery life can be a bit tight on some games so a 45W USB-C-PD battery (I prefer a 65W as it leaves some room for other devices, so long as it does 15V @ 3A+)

    Oh, and the fall sale ends tomorrow, so if you’ve got games you want that are on sales now’s a good time :-)

    Mine shipped via Fedex.

    The tracking page still asys “No record of this tracking number” but it was actually delivered yesterday (or I presume it’s the Deck at least, I haven’t actually opened the box yet).

    I think something’s fucked up between their system tracking #'s and the actual couriers.
