Introduction
This guide details how to take off the outer plastic case of the Xbox One X. This could be useful for replacing the case itself if it is damaged. Removing the outer case is also necessary for replacing any of the interior components. Before starting, it is recommended that you make sure you have the right tools as well as a clean environment with plenty of room for organizing the components. Be aware that disassembling your Xbox could void your warranty, so you may want to read those terms and conditions in advance.
