IPS Ready Upgraded eXtremeRate Chameleon Purple Blue Replacement Shell Full Housing Cover Buttons for Gameboy Advance GBA - Compatible with Both IPS & Standard LCD - Console & IPS Screen NOT Included

The colour is a little paler than I would have liked, I’d say it’s a bit more grey than what’s shown in the listing. The screws were quite hard to get in and required a lot of force to turn, not sure if this is maybe because of the kind of plastic? The shell is nice and sturdy but doesn’t feel as nice as the original shells, this is a lot more matte and slippery. Does the trick though and comes everything you need.

Is not what I was expecting. I wanted a hand held game console for my son

Good item looks ok and my l and r button s won't work and feels loses I put it tougher but it's not lined up its don't click in but I will do love the buttons

This is the definition of ease. The case works perfectly with original GBA hardware, and no cutting or shaping is necessary I paired this case with their matching eXtremeRate buttons replacement for a clean single color design and I love it. The case doesn't feel like a cheap replacement case, it feels quite nice. This particular case has a glossy smooth finish, which tends to show fingerprints a bit easier, but I personally don't find it a problem because a quick wipe down with a dry cloth, it's ready to be put back on the display shelf with no fingerprints to be seen! Features that I enjoy on this is: The battery holder. For more context, I've replaced so many gba shells where the battery cover is just loose, where they can fall out or just rattle around, BUT THIS ONE IS PERFECT! It's a tight fit and stays in the battery slot perfectly. I also like that this case comes with a blue metal plate for the GBA game slot. It's not a huge deal, but it allows the piece blend in a lot better over a plain silver plate that can just stick out like a sore thumb! Lastly I enjoy how the screen it ships with does not say anything other then Game Boy Advance. I have seen many companies say something different on the screen, like their company name or just random things. This one keeps to the original and it's very appreciated! Overall it's a 10/10 in my book. I have and will continue to reccomend it to friends, and people who repair Game Boy Advances'!

Esta carcasa fue mi primera opcion, pues hice un trabajo de restauración de un GBA que estaba en muy mala condición, le faltaba la tapa de las pilas, la del cable link, ademas de que la pantalla estaba rayada y no funcionaba el audio. Tambien cambie la pantalla por una IPS, la cual compre en otra tienda la cual incluia una carcasa, aunque no de mala calidad, los plasticos estaban algo duros. Estoy muy contento con el resultado, los botones son suaves y el plastico tienen un acabado gloss o satinado que lo hace muy agradable, el acabado en azul metalico ni se diga. NOTA A QUIEN COMPRE ESTA CARCASA: en mi caso compre un KIT IPS V5 de HISPEEDIDO, el cual es una pantalla laminada, por lo que si desean hacer la instalación de dicho kit en esta carcasa se tendra que recortar el marco interior y rebajar uno de los lados para poder instalar la pantalla correctamente.

it was missing start and select buttons

Honnêtement j’ai été très agréablement surprise par la qualité des petites pièces, presque semblables aux originales, bon point. La coque est très douce au touchée, inhabituelle mais franchement pas désagréable !! Peut-être un matériel un peu trop léger par rapport à l’original mais ça ne dérange pas. Les mauvais points : on va y inclure un bon point, la vidéo explicative sur le site est juste géniale !! Mais dans cela, pas assez de gros plans sur par exemple dans quel sens mettre la pièce métallique qu’on glisse dans les touche L & R. Également le tournevis triangulaire qui est de mauvaise qualité, j’ai eu énormément de mal à visser, le tournevis semblait presque pointu je ne saurait dire, je ne peux même pas dire si c’est vissé à fond ou non.. autre point, il aurait peut-être fallut un petit sticker pour le cache piles, c’est plutôt dommage que ça soit vide comme ça. Mais dans l’ensemble je suis plutôt satisfaite, c’était très ludique et j’ai adoré redonner une nouvelle vie à ma Gameboy. Merci :)

Impressive amount of bang for your buck. Everything is included from the screws, to the guard, case, stickers lens. Honestly I've already bought a second one to repair my childhood GBA. The instructions were provided in a video, from their website it links to youtube. One for an IPS screen upgrade and one for the basic screen. The movies are simple, no narration so make sure to follow the images on screen after you mute the music. But overall were very simple to follow along and comprehensive on every step. One suggestion would be to get some rubbing alcohol and Q-tips to clean off the button pads and speaker. They did not show this step in the how-to but it's easily found on other similar rebuild videos and 100% worth the effort. In the end the case, instructions and price are incredible. I highly suggest this kit to anyone wanting to breathe life back into their old handheld. But do keep the original parts, they do hold value for authentic systems.
