All that's left is the assembly. Remove the supports carefully, using a tool if necessary. You can also sand the parts to achieve a smoother finish.

Hand-tighten the screws to attach both handles to the bottom case, then press the buttons into the top case. Your case is now ready to use!

Place the switch controller inside the case and slide the bottom section onto the top section. To adjust the handle position to your preference, simply loosen the thumb screws, reposition the handles, and tighten them again. The snap-fit mechanism keeps the bottom case securely in place. To remove it, press the snap-fit tab and slide the bottom case off.
