Nice feeling product, but with some drawbacks.
This shell feels quite nice in hand. It feels sturdy enough to last for a while and looks very nice too.An issue that it had on arrival, but I've fixed was a rubbing plastic sound when the hinge moved. This was caused by a small bit of plastic that I had to file down. It wasn't a difficult job, but it warants a mention incase anyone else deals with it. After that I had no troubles to date.The screws included aren't the best. After some fiddling with them I decided to throw them aside and simply reuse the screws from my old shell. The screwdrivers included aren't much better.But overall I think it's a worthwhile pickup if you're trying to find a good reshell for your SP.

Not the best, nice touch and finish on the shell though
Finally upgraded my sp, looks nice but not entirely happy. The screws aren't the best sadly, I found that the shell doesn't come together fully either? Screws are tight but the heads come away too easy, also left a small gap..you can gently squeeze the shell and see it should come together more but it doesn't sadly. I would advise keeping the original screws if you have them.Along side this shell I decided to purchase the nicer buttons but upon install I found the dpad wouldn't always work so I had to take it apart and change the buttons, a shame as they cost more than simple replacement buttons.Overall the shells are better than cheaper replacements, but could be improved. Decent guide for the install too.

Great
I recently completed a GBA SP reshell project, and I couldn't be happier with the results! The reshell kit I purchased was of exceptional quality, perfectly matching the original dimensions and feel of the Game Boy Advance SP. The materials were durable, with a smooth, polished finish that instantly gave my old console a fresh, modern look.The installation process was straightforward, with all the necessary screws and tools included. The precision of the shell’s design made everything fit together seamlessly, and the pre-cut button slots were perfectly aligned. I appreciated how the kit also included new buttons and a fresh screen lens, which added to the overall rejuvenation of my device.Now, my GBA SP not only looks brand new, but it also feels sturdy and solid, just like the original. If you're looking to breathe new life into your beloved handheld, I highly recommend this reshell kit. It's an excellent way to preserve and enjoy your GBA SP for years to come!

Quite a lovely replacement shell! Does need trimming to fit the Funnyplaying gba sp ITA screen!
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.

Best aftermarket shell (so far)
Leagues better than the old generic mold, and absolutely worth price if you've been fiddling around with cheap ones for a while. If you want to "settle" for a GBA shell this is your onePros:- Great quality plastic and coloring. The color and feel aren't exactly the same as the original shells, but I kind of like it actually? The shell has a soft touch to it, and the color of the red one is very vibrant compared to the older shells, which was jarring at first but I love it now- Much better manufacturing than other shells, it actually closes properly!- The holographic optional sticker for the bottom is a nice touch, matches the holo logo on the IPS screen I installed.Minor gripe:- No indent on the top shell for the "Nintendo" sticker off your old SP shell. I just carefully placed mine where the indent should be, but this would be good to incorporate into future versions.Minor warnings:- Some of the screws can be a bit difficult to get in, just be aware and make sure you're using good downward force.- The battery lid is weirdly difficult to get off once you place it down, even without the screw. If you need to go back in, you may need to carefully use a pin or exacto knife to pry it up.- My IPS screen didn't fit out of the box so I had to trim a little plastic, but thankfully the shell was molded in a way which made it incredibly easy to cut off with a pair of modeling side cutters.Overall, 9.9/10, having the depression for the lid sticker would make it perfect

Excelente
Le devolvió la vida a la consola. El material se siente de muy buena calidad. Las instrucciones son claras, únicamente hay que ser muy cuidadosos con las bisagras.Actualización:Después de unos días de uso se comenzó a decolorar la carcasa. Estructuralmente se sigue en perfecta condición, únicamente tiene ese desperfecto estético.
