eXtremeRate Full Case for Nintendo Gameboy Advance SP, IPS Ready Upgraded Case & Button, Replacement Case Cover Shell Buttons for gba SP Console IPS & Standard LCD (NO Console & Board) - Clear Emerald

Just as with any review I want to preface this by saying I use my own tools and I generally use all the original OEM screws where possible. I have been modding multiple systems over the past year and I greatly enjoyed the quality of the shells that ExtremeRate has to offer (just wish that they offered an olive/swamp clear green color for the Rayquaza shell inserts) for both the GBA SP and the NDSL (I have reviewed those housings on Amazon as well). They're without a doubt one of the first names a recommend for reviving old consoles such as these. They're not only mod friendly (IPS ready) but they're also engineered well. Id go as far as saying theyre better than OEM shells (manufacturers have come a long ways since the GBA SP days). They have good tolerances which allow for a snappy, fresh out of the factory feel. A lot of shells out there just don't feel as tactile as these ones. When it really boils down to it, I am not sure you can this high of quality for this low of a price. Now onto the three I have bought, the two transparent ones are by far my favorite. The ABS material and finish make these not only feel good to the touch but also make them very wear resistant. The color of these two shells was just about what you'd expect from the photos. The only thing I'd say they should change is the "Emerald Green" is much more a sea green color (which my wife loved). However if they did make a shell that was the same color as the Pokémon Emerald color, I'd throw my money at them without hesitation. Now onto the golden boy. I have to say, I loved it for about a month and then the fingerprint magnet finish began to bother me a bit. If you simply want this as a display piece, this is the shell for you. Otherwise you may want to keep a polishing cloth nearby (in my case with in the carrying container I stored it in). There is nothing wrong with the functionality of the shell in fact it was just as good performance wise as the other two. I know this could be a topic that some might be curious about so here's my thought on the buttons that came with these kits. They're possibly the best buttons I have ever installed on a gaming device in years. They're very durable and they also fit excellent. I even bought some for a cheap Rayquaza shell I bought on Amazon because the Rayquaza shell buttons where smaller than the OEM. I'd highly recommend the membranes and buttons that come with these kits. The only troubles I had with the kits were the quality of the screws. I'd love to pay a few more dollars just to have better screws. The Philips heads screws were not honestly bad but the tri-wing screws were abysmal. This is one of those moments I'd recommend using the OEM hardware or if ExtremeRate wants to improve these kits just simply including all Philips head screws with the correct length and pitch.

自分好みのカスタムをするのに最適。もちろん、改造する腕があればの話だが。

The box came without the shell in it and customer service were quick to respond and sent me a new shell out, fits great easy to put together and looks fantastic can’t wait to use these again for my next one!

無事に交換できました。ですが、どこがどこの部品というように少し説明や部品名シールなどなにか欲しいです。

Le dio nueva vida a mi Game Boy Advance SP. Pedí la negra transparente, también había comprado una pantalla IPS y una batería nueva y todo quedo perfecto, no tuve que cortar nada para que ensamblara. También puedes usar los botones originales de tu consola porque entran perfecto, aunque los que trae la carcasa no están mal. Trae gomas para tapar los tornillos de la pantalla y los stickers para la parte trasera aunque yo no se los puse, lo que no trae es bisagras por eso use las originales.
