Great shell, minor alignment issue
Love the clear purple color. Had to sand down the screw posts slightly to get the back case to sit flush, but once assembled, it looks amazing. Highly recommend for custom builds.

Revived my old GBA
My original shell was yellowed and cracked. This replacement made my console look brand new again. The L and R buttons are a nice touch as they are often the first to break.

Good but screen lens is thin
The shell itself is solid, but the pre-installed screen lens feels a bit flimsy. I ended up replacing it with a glass protector. Otherwise, a decent purchase for modding.

Better than expected
I was worried about the button sensitivity, but they work flawlessly. The matte finish gives it a premium feel compared to the glossy original shells from the early 2000s.

Solid choice for beginners
If you are new to console modding, this is a great starter shell. Everything fits logically. Just take your time opening your original unit so you don't damage the ribbon cables.

Perfect fit for my restoration project
The plastic quality is surprisingly good for the price. It snapped together perfectly with my original GBA internals. The buttons feel crisp and responsive right out of the box.
Q: Can I install an IPS screen kit with this shell?
A: Yes, this shell is compatible with most aftermarket IPS screen kits. However, depending on the specific kit, you may need to do minor trimming around the battery compartment.
Q: What size screwdriver do I need for assembly?
A: You will need a small Phillips head screwdriver, typically size #0 or #00, which is standard for Nintendo handheld consoles.
Q: Is the battery cover included in the set?
A: Yes, the package includes a matching battery cover that corresponds to the color of the shell you selected.
Q: Are the conductive pads for the buttons included?
A: This package includes the plastic button pieces (L, R, Start, Select, D-Pad, A, B), but it does not include the rubber conductive pads. You must reuse the pads from your original console.
Q: Does this shell fit the Game Boy Advance SP?
A: No, this shell is designed specifically for the original Game Boy Advance (AGB-001) model. It is not compatible with the GBA SP or Game Boy Micro.
