## Description

eXtremeRate launched the REVIVTRO project in 2020, which aims to revive your retro game console with modern technology. IPS screen is now popular in recovery projects for Gameboy Advance SP. But most replacement cases for GBA SP on the market are not ready for installing IPS screens. eXtremeRate has redesigned the shape of the case, can be compatible with IPS and standard screens. And with a more precise shape and made of high quality ABS material, the quality of the eXtremeRate upgrade case is very good. Leave the handheld console for GBA SP out of your drawer and dress up a new look for your old friend! Please note before ordering: 1. The complete case is only compatible with the Gameboy Advance SP handheld game console. 2. The replacement shell is also compatible with the IPS backlit LCD display of the Game Boy Advance SP. But the IPS LCD display is not included. 3. It is a complete shell with buttons for Game Boy Advance SP. The console, screen and other parts are not included. 4. Customers need to disassemble the console to replace the original shell. Required basic craft skills and patience; the assembly video instructions can be found on Youtube for "eXtremeRate Upgraded Shell for GBA SP" or "R7EHybsHhE4". Product information: Made of durable, non-toxic ABS plastic. Odour free. Improved redesigned shape, fits completely flush on all sides; sit properly on all clips. Personalize your handheld game console. Package includes: 1 x full housing including battery cover. 1 x A B L R buttons and power button and on/off switch. 1 x volume button. 1 x control pad and start buttons. 1 x conductive rubber pad. 2 x screwdrivers. 28 x screws. Note: The console, board and other parts are NOT included!

Review: I have ordered multiple products from eXtremeRate over the years, and have come to expect a few things from all of their products: a signature ‘soft’ feel, high quality materials, included tools/spare parts, and most of all, STELLAR customer service. My experience with this product was yet another example of why eXtremeRate is the best at what they do. If you want to upgrade your GBA SP with an aftermarket shell: look no further. As mentioned before, the shell has a very ‘soft’ matte feel to it (as opposed to what I can only describe as a ‘squeaky’ feeling from OEM plastic surfaces). I honestly prefer this shell to the original; the quality is THAT top-notch. eXtremeRate made sure to include every piece necessary for a full shell replacement, including hinge caps and screen bumpers in matching colors and even a reproduction label for a fun individual design. This is a complete package if you want to overhaul your SP’s look and feel. I paired this shell with an IPS screen and it looks phenomenal. Upon initial installation, I faced some difficulties with the battery cover (be careful; it is a VERY snug fit). In doing so, I noticed a small defect in that one piece and eXtremeRate was more than happy to send me a full replacement with express shipping. That kind of customer service is why I will always purchase their products. All in all, I could not be more satisfied with this purchase and highly recommend both this product and eXtremeRate as a seller. I don’t think anyone does aftermarket shells better than them.

*by P***E on 13 August 2024*

I recently completed a GBA SP reshell project, and I couldn't be happier with the results! The reshell kit I purchased was of exceptional quality, perfectly matching the original dimensions and feel of the Game Boy Advance SP. The materials were durable, with a smooth, polished finish that instantly gave my old console a fresh, modern look. The installation process was straightforward, with all the necessary screws and tools included. The precision of the shell’s design made everything fit together seamlessly, and the pre-cut button slots were perfectly aligned. I appreciated how the kit also included new buttons and a fresh screen lens, which added to the overall rejuvenation of my device. Now, my GBA SP not only looks brand new, but it also feels sturdy and solid, just like the original. If you're looking to breathe new life into your beloved handheld, I highly recommend this reshell kit. It's an excellent way to preserve and enjoy your GBA SP for years to come!
