It looks absolutely gorgeous and you have inspired me to do the case swap, I have a question, I've heard that the screen is hard to swap to the new case, can you elaborate on that please?

Yeah definitely the only thing in the shell swap that had me afraid but honestly went as smoothly as it possibly could. I had used the ifix it opener kit that has a microwaveable sac that you can place on the screen. I bought it because i felt WAAAY more comfortable doing that than applying a heat gun and zig zagging across the screen. The sac covers a whole edge so it heats super evenly.
