Replacement Housing Shell Compatible for Gameboy Advance SP GBA SP shell Case With Screen and buttons (orange)

Pretty great shell for GBC, no issues installing and looks great. Used the old buttons just because the different colored ones are not my thing. Like most have said in other reviews, the bottom does not seal, but its still sturdy and feels solid. Glows super bright.

First off, many people who have the screw problem where it starts to make a little divot into the plastic are over tightening the screw and causing the shell to break. It's a relatively spring shell and feels almost like the original but if not handled with care it'll break on you during assembly. Secondly, I recommend getting a hobby knife since some parts do have little part mold nubs that could interfere with the internals. But overall it's great for the price and was a fun afternoon project while watch a movie. It makes the gamebky look new and changes the color from boring grey to a nice blue.

Great price, fast delivery, it comes with the necessary screwdrivers, screws, buttons, L/R thumbs, ON/Off and volume sliders, stickers, taps, and screen lens replacement. You need to use your own hinges but that's it. I found this GBA SP laying around all messed up, but now looks brand new

The fit and size all feels right and amazing quality. BUT use your own screws and hinges. The included screws were not very good quality and some of them stripped easily. Everything else is very good quality.

It was difficult to rate this at 3 out of 5 because some of the issues can be fixed by taking the time to refit it better. Its price is rather low for a GBA SP shell, but overall, I'd only recommend this if you intend to mod your GBA SP further after repairs. Based on other reviews, it seems like build quality of these vary! I think if your current GBA SP shell is all scratched and dirtied up, this isn't a bad choice for someone who just wants to refurbish it. Pros: -High quality shell, with the exception of some of its smaller parts, such as hinge caps and power button. -Comes with brand new buttons, pads, screen lens, stickers and screws. -Shell is compatible with thicker IPS screens, which I do recommend over OEM screens. -Good for the price, can be priced at nearly half of what competitors are selling their shells. Cons: -OEM screens aren't as bright in the shell because it was built with IPS screens in mind. -Does not come with new hinges, so you must get those separately. Fitting OEM hinges into the aftermarket shell was such a hassle. Do not forget to new buy hinges! -Exsek's power switch, and perhaps other parts, could be too big for the shell. I had to file down excess plastic from it so it would fit. -Exsek's Flame Red color doesn't match OEM Flame Red. Would even say it has more glitter in it too. I personally like it, but others might not! Will be updating review with pictures!

No hinges is complete nonsense. They also don't tell you that the power LED covers are also not included. Might as well have time you to use all your old screws, too, because they ones included don't match the ones in the system. There is only one brass Philips screw, where the OEM SP has 3 of them for the board. All of the rest of the screws are Tri-wing, whereas nobody uses security screwd for the internals of electronics, so have fun figuring out which ones are which! Try taking out the cheap worthless tools and adding the necessary parts. How on earth is that a priority? For the product itself, it's kind of scratchy feeling and the buttons don't feel like they're great quality. I'd rather shell out a little extra for these things to not suck, and for it to actually have all the damn parts you need. The screen protector looks like cheap plastic too. The OEM one looks to at least resemble glass. Mine has a gouge in it, but I decided it wasn't worth swapping out for something that's going to be just as easy to gouge. I still haven't figured out the stuoid screws for this thing, the himg cover is loose and I can't figure out which one is the right one :) I don't like or recommend this product. I had an easier time soldering ICs during the board repairs I worked in yesterday. Swapping shells shouldn't be this hard, and it not having hinges at all isn't acceptable.

Fit and fitment are great. All included screws, parts and button function. Everything is a tight and original fit. The included screwdrivers were long which is a big help and the label is a nice touch. I had over-tightened one screw while completing the swap and made a small hole but that is an error on my part, not the product I did not use the included screen cover because it did not have the lettering on it but it looked good. Basically everything did the job and I would order again if needed. BE AWARE IT DOES NOT INCLUDE HINGE PINS those must be sourced from your old system

It works as described and looks so cool that it glows in the dark!!
