IPS Ready Upgraded eXtremeRate Scarlet Red Soft Touch Custom Replacement Housing Shell for Gameboy Advance SP GBA SP – Compatible with Both IPS & Standard LCD – Console & Screen NOT Included

Extremely good quality shell, feels great in the hands. I got the Extreamrate, chameleon blue button set and it looks awesome. I didn’t see the black hinge buttons in the bag so I stuck with the original silver buttons, and it still turned out great. I highly recommend this company if you are thinking about/looking for shells to fix up or just refresh the look of.

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.

Feels great, I love the plastic used. The screws provided with the shells don't always align with the thread in the gameboy. Otherwise it looks amazing and I'm so happy to have a pink gameboy

I do a lot of handheld game console repairs/reshells and these extreme rate gameboy advance sp replacement shells are as good as aftermarket shells come. If you are super picky about finish, I would generally say dont get a painted shell.. these however are really nice and you likely will be happy. I have had it built for quite a while now and forgot to review, so I can say durability is good if you take care of your things. Cheers

This shell is awesome for the price. The plastic is sturdy and feels hard. It's feels more frosted than the original GBA SP shell however. Even with it being worth the money, there's one problem:The screwholes. They are pretty badly drilled. The screws are pretty hard to get in, to the point where I had tried so hard I chiseled the included 3-wing screwdriver just to get half of the screws in. I had to resort to another screwdriver from a bit set and even still the screws are slightly crooked, leaving it slightly creaky.PROS:-Plastic is high quality-The price (25.99$) is perfect for what you get-It's easy to assemble via the online video-Almost twice as many screws needed included just in case you lose someCONS:-Screwholes are badly drilled, you will likely need new screwdriver just to get the screws in-Doesnt include a sticker that goes onto the battery cover

I bought two, one for me in Sakura pink as soft pinks are my favorite and I wasn't all that fond of the chrome pink mine originally was... My best friend's niece is into Pokémon and I wanted to get her started on the earlier games so she could appreciate them more... Her favorite color is sage green so the Matcha Green was close enough!!! She is estactic!!! The instruction video was very thorough and easy to follow!!!

Feels great, and super easy to put together

Came missing parts. I did not receive the hinge cover for my black unit, I did not receive ANY hinges at all, or the hinge mini covers on the side of the unit. For some reason it came with 9 springs instead of the standard springs.DO NOT BUY THIS! Looking for a refund.
