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

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!

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.

Exactly what it says and absolutely great quality. Made my game boy look so dope. Highly recommended

Don’t like the feeling of the softness and easily it absorbs oil. The money is worth it and the kit is good as well

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.

Follow the instructions it’s fairly simple. They have a QR code to a video. The hinges are not interchangeable since on is left the other is right specific, in the video they had it different but pay attention to which on which side as well as the orientation. This color looks a lot better in person. and when I say this kit has EVERYTHING I mean EVERYTHING. Tools, screws, adhesive rubber dots around screen, and even a new sticker. I paired it will a new ups screen and feels sweet. I did it to may original SP I got as a kid.

Color varies? My battery door is darker than the rest of the shell....

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.

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。

Came without motherboard amd information about this product was less

完璧でした。楽しかったのでまたやりたいです。

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!

Nach 4–5 verschiedenen Gehäusen von anderen Herstellern kann ich ehrlich sagen: Die Hülle von eXtremeRate ist die erste, die qualitativ wirklich ans Original herankommt. Verarbeitung, Passform und Materialgefühl sind auf einem ganz anderen Level – hier klappert nichts, die Tasten sitzen sauber, und das Gehäuse wirkt stabil und hochwertig. Besonders positiv: Die Hülle ist direkt IPS-Ready, also ideal, wenn man seinen Game Boy Advance SP aufrüsten will. Auch optisch sieht alles richtig gut aus – das Schwarz ist matt, nicht billig glänzend, und die Buttons haben einen angenehmen Druckpunkt. Natürlich ist keine Konsole oder Platine dabei – das sollte klar sein – aber wer einen Shell-Swap plant oder einen GBA SP restaurieren will, ist mit diesem Set definitiv besser bedient als mit vielen günstigeren Alternativen. Für mich aktuell die beste Aftermarket-Hülle auf dem Markt. Absolute Empfehlung für alle Modding-Fans, die Wert auf Qualität legen.
