eXtremeRate IPS Ready Upgraded Glow in Dark - Green Custom Replacement Housing Shell for Gameboy Advance SP GBA SP – Compatible with Both IPS & Standard LCD – Console & Screen NOT Included

easy to put together

Tried two other shells from other companies which were a terrible fit but this one is perfect in every way super nice fit and really high quality. Extremerate are the best in my opinion I use their switch Xbox and ps5 shells a lot never had an issue not once!! Highly recommend!

The overall quality of the shell is great looks good and fits together well, only flaws are the screwdrivers aren’t great and my shell was missing the flat screw covers which is rather annoying because there are not exact replacements online…

I cannot recommend this shell unless you have your own tri wing screwdriver, this driver is so soft and disintegrates when being used.Edit: Seller was quick to react to this negative review and initially the seller reached out to offer a refund for the poor experience but then rescinded this offer in lieu of a replacement screwdriver set which is not needed considering the content of the review.

This was surprisingly easy to do. The hinge was abit finicky with how you have to role up the ribbon cable but other than that everything was good. I would say be careful when screwing in the screw’s because I have managed to crack the shell through over tightening. So when screwing in keep an eye on both sides of the shell so you don’t make the same mistake I did!

I am very happy how this shell looks. It comes with some spare parts, which is always appreciated incase you lose something. The only thing I couldn't use was the foam included. I think its only for an IPS screen. I put my AGS 101 in it and it fits good. I recommend this product!

If you are in the Gameboy modding/repair community you know that everyone was selling the same 2 types of GBA SP shells that come from the same factories. The older opaque ones that are poorly molded and made with pretty bad plastic. Or the newer transparent ones that were better molded, but can develop cracking issues (specially around the hinges.)Looks like we have a 3rd option now!eXtremeRate seems to have their own unique molds, for both the shell and buttons. (the witness marks being in in different places, and lack of branding, are obvious tells) The molding seems well done with fine and straight lettering, everything fits perfectly with no creaking, no gaps, no sharp edges on the shell.The plastic feels thicker and stronger then the no name transparent shells. Time will tell if that makes a difference, but eXtreme rate seems to know a thing or two about making aftermarket shells for controllers so. I haven't tried their opaque shells but I imagine they use the same molds. I will go out on a limb and say, as of 2022, these are the highest quality SP aftermarket shells.I hope eXtreme rate adds more colors. Right now I'm using "Atomic Purple". I personally wouldn't describe it as that, since its not really that close to the OG GBC color, its a warmer purple.But it is a really nice shade of purple. If there ever was a "Pokemon Amethyst" THIS would 100% be the cartridge color.Some minor criticisms though:Screws: They could have been better organized and packaged in a resealable bag. With the amount of extras its slightly hard to tell what goes with what. - I also feel since this shell isn't pretending to be original, there isn't really a good reason to use Triwing screws. It really could have been all Phillips/JIS and that would have been fine.Also the screw on the battery door does not have a captive ring.Springs: The Shoulder springs are weak. I don't recommend using them unless you have to...Buttons: I can't help but feel its kinda tacky they come with buttons of the same color as the shell? But maybe thats just me. They aren't as good as originals, and they seem to be copying other aftermarket buttons - meaning the middle post is flat. Their remedy for the wiggle this causes is that the silicon pads are thicker, and while this works, the buttons again just don't feel as good as originals.EDIT: Slate compatibility.There is some minor incompatibilities between this shell and the 'Slate' Mod. It seems like the screw holes are in slightly different places (off by < 1mm maybe?) and the shell it's self might be slightly off? Unless your mixing and matching eXtreme rate shell parts with other shell parts, this won't affect you so.

Die Montage mithilfe eines YouTube Videos war wirkliche einfach und in ca. 30 Minuten erledigt. Tolle Passform und die Optik ist einfach - Chef's Kiss!Die grauen Buttons auf den Bildern, sind von der Originalen Nintendo Shell. Hat mir besser gefallen, als die beiliegenden, transpartent rosa Buttons. Da war mir der Kontrast zu klein und ich konnte die Buttons nicht mehr gut erkennen.Klare Empfehlung, um den alten SP wieder frisch zu machen!
