Decent but screen bezel is slightly off
The back shell is perfect, but the front bezel around the top screen has a tiny gap on the left side. It doesn't affect gameplay, just aesthetics.

Good quality but tricky install
The plastic feels sturdy and the color matches my white console exactly. Installation took some patience as the clips are tight, but the result is worth it.

Great value for money
For the price, you can't beat this. It saved me from buying a whole new used console. Just make sure you have the right tools to open the device safely.

Excellent replacement part
Fast shipping and the part arrived without scratches. The black finish is deep and consistent. My NDSL looks better than when I first bought it ten years ago.

Brings back the nostalgia
Bought this to restore a beaten-up console I found at a garage sale. It looks factory fresh now. Highly recommend for anyone doing a restoration project.

Perfect fit for my old DS Lite
My original shell was cracked and yellowed. This replacement looks brand new and fits perfectly. The buttons align well and the GBA slot cover works smoothly.
Q: What tools are required for installation?
A: You will typically need a small Phillips #00 screwdriver and a plastic prying tool to separate the casing without damaging the clips.
Q: Is the GBA card slot functional with this shell?
A: Absolutely. The shell includes a fully functional GBA card slot cover and is designed to support Game Boy Advance cartridges without issues.
Q: Do I need to transfer any internal components myself?
A: Yes, this listing is for the outer shell only. You will need to carefully disassemble your current console and transfer the motherboard, screens, batteries, and buttons into the new shell.
Q: Can I choose between black and white after ordering?
A: Please select your preferred color from the dropdown menu before adding the item to your cart. We ship the specific color selected at checkout.
Q: Does this shell work with the Nintendo 3DS?
A: No, this replacement shell is designed specifically for the original DS, DS Lite, and DSi models. It is not compatible with the Nintendo 3DS family.
