IPS Ready Upgraded eXtremeRate Monster Index Console Style Custom Replacement Housing Shell for Gameboy Advance SP GBA SP – Compatible with Both IPS & Standard LCD – Console & Screen NOT Included

This shell is awesome! Everything for great. The only thing you really have to reuse from the old shell are the hinge pins and their instructions suck for how to remove and install them. YouTube is your friend for that. Overall this feels really great and looks killer!

Looks and works great!For each button color there was a full button set ( including shoulder buttons), so you can customize your button colors however you want to.

Amazing product. Love the finish on the case. Feels nostalgic and new at the same time. Very happy with how it turned out.

This might be a bit of a biased review, but I love all of eXtremeRate's products. They are high quality products that are made to fit. I love the material they are made out of as well. A real pleasure to hold. A couple of notes for this particular product. Yes, it comes with all the hardware needed to build the system with a couple of exceptions. 1st, it does not come with new hinge pins, only the covers. 2nd, it does not come with the circlip to retain the battery door screw. You will need to harvest these parts from the old system that you are reshelling. I actually harvested all the hardware from my old system because I wanted it to have a factory feel which means reusing the tri-wing screws. These screws, as far as I can tell, I never actually opened the bag of hardware so I am not sure, has been replaced with standard phillips head screws. It comes with a new SN label but not a battery door label, which can be ordered from etsy. For those of you who want the systems unique SN on your main label, you can also get one of those on etsy. As noted in the product description, the main board and screen do not come in the kit, it would be a lot more expensive if they did. It also does not come with a new glass for the screen. You can pick one of those up if needed on amazon. It also does not come with a battery. This is just a shell.

This GBA sp shell replacement is ABSOLUTELY amazing for the price. It’s high quality, feels amazing. As well as has a nice matte finish and feel. It was easy to put together as it comes with everything you need, it even comes with a replacement sticker for the model number underneath. Really high quality shell, would definitely buy another for a second project!

Very impressed with the GBA SP shell! I chose the NES style shell. It is a little darker than I expected, but I do like the color a lot. One of the best aftermarket shells available. Fits perfectly on the back of my GameBoy Slate mod by Makho. Love the soft touch material. I highly recommend this shell to anyone who is interested in modding or reshelling their old GBA SP. Awesome job, ExtremeRate!Update 2/27/2024:New Year, New GBA SP, New Mod!I did decide to purchase a new shell to mod another GBA SP. I decided to get the new Famicom-themed shell. I am very pleased with the end result. The shell has a nice soft-touch texture. The shell fits together well. Please note, that when using certain IPS kits, you do have to trim the top housing a little. This wasn’t difficult. Just make sure to follow the instructions with the LCD kit you purchase. This is still hands down, one of the best quality after-market GBA SP shells available.

Plastic feels a little cheap compared to the OG shell, but it still looks cool.

Very high quality reshell
