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

I really like this shell! It feels smooth, thick, just nice to hold in the hands. Not flimsy like some thinner plastics may be. The color shift is really good too. It comes with all the pieces needed for the shell and plenty of extra screws. The first three pictures are what I had to trim and sand on the inside to get fit the Funnyplaying GBA sp ITA screen. Basically all the inner walls had to go entirely and had to sand away at an angle a little of the screw holes to have just enough to get the fit. It's rough looking, which is to be expected from my first screen mod as I changed shells from my original flame red, but it worked as shown by the last picture with everything together! I'm pretty pleased with myself! Just watch how tight the top screws are when putting it all back together as you can squeeze the corners of the ita screen leaving a little blob looking spot until you relive the pressure, but you can still finesse it tight enough to stay securely closed!! Would be lovely if future versions can consider a way to fit a wider variety screens or a little easier to potentially trim as needed! I made this work because I was determined to give it a try before I jumped to the shells provided by Funnyplaying, and I'm quite glad I did.

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.

It was a bit tricky taking everything apart but with the guide it comes with, the picture on the page showing which screws go where, and an hour or so of my free time it came together nicely. The black shell is matte and shows finger prints/ sweaty hands easily so keep that in mind ( i can live with it). Ribbon cable wasn’t too hard to put back either. I saw some people say use the old original screws but mine wouldn’t go in and i didn’t want to strip them so I used the ones that came with the kit. It fits well and overall a good shell!

Great case. looks amazing and works well with original GBA SP. the only issue I had was difficulty screwing in a few different screws. they almost stripped. and I made sure they were placed correctly. other than that it looks incredible and functions as well if not better than the original once completed.

This was my first ever gameboy and first time re-shelling. 1.Great and easy shelling process!( they provide a clear video to watch) 2. Awesome feel (doesn’t feel really cheap) 3. Awesome colors to choose from! Therefore I am glad to say I recommend extreme rates for your re-shelling needs!

Took a while but easy to assemble if you can follow instructions well. The plastic is a very good quality and the buttons feel the same as the stock console, all the parts fit exactly the same so there are no loose or tight imperfections. Love the unique color and feel of this in my hands.

I bought a cheap AGS 101 with a broken shell and reshelled it with this one. I was skeptical cause aftermarket shells always feel cheap. Not this one! This feels sturdy and premium; even with a silicone like texture on the plastic. I used the original screws and it worked just fine. Even got a new set of buttons from the same company.

Awesome shell, very easy to put together, love the the details on amazon show which screws go where also.

ottima la scocca rimangono un pochino le ditate però molto bella e con una guida semplice da seguire

ボロボロだった本体を新品同様にすることが出来たので満足です。 ただ、分解の説明はさすがに付属してないのでネットで調べて自己責任でやりましょう。

C'est beau, ça brille (et ça prend facilement les traces de doigts aussi) Il y a plus de vis que besoin, pareil pour les ressorts de gâchettes, ainsi que la petite barre de soutien gâchette. Idem pour les plastiques cache vis de l'écran. Les tournevis dépannent, mais il vaut mieux utiliser un tournevis pro pour éviter de défoncer l'empreinte des vis. Le tutoriel de démontage/montage disponible via youtube et sur le site d'extremerate directement (qr code présent dans la boite) est qualitatif. Je remarque que le prix à monté de 10 euros quelques jours après ma commande..

Came without motherboard amd information about this product was less

Fast delivery. Item well packed. Shell itself with the buttons are extremely good quality. Will continue to support. N will purchasing the shell for gba, gbc, gbp & fb. 👍🫡🤝
