IPS Ready Upgraded Clear Custom Replacement Housing Shell for Gameboy Advance SP GBA SP – Compatible with Both IPS & Standard LCD – Console & Screen NOT Included

easy to put together

The box came without the shell in it and customer service were quick to respond and sent me a new shell out, fits great easy to put together and looks fantastic can’t wait to use these again for my next one!

Overall, I'm really happy with this replacement shell. The quality feels solid and it fits my GBA SP well. The glow-in-the-dark feature is super fun—definitely brighter than I expected, and it adds a nice touch if you like playing in low light. The instructional video was clear and easy to follow, which made the whole installation process pretty smooth. I also appreciated the extra screws they included—always nice to have a backup or two just in case. That said, there are a couple of small things to keep in mind. The included screwdrivers are a bit on the cheap side, so if you have your own tools, you might want to use those instead. The hinge cover has a slight wobble to it—not a huge deal, but noticeable if you're aiming for a perfect fit. Also, just a heads-up: there's no space on the shell for the original Nintendo logo sticker, so if that's important to you, keep that in mind. All in all, it's a great option if you're looking to give your GBA SP a fresh, glowing new look. Would definitely recommend, just go in knowing there are a few minor imperfections.

Pros: Excellent build quality, feels premium, IPS display fit perfectly with no issues, Consistently high quality (this is my 4th ExtremeRate shell), One of the best replacement shells available, Cons: Swapping housings requires some care and skill, Included guide isn’t very detailed (YouTube tutorials are much better), Overall: ExtremeRate shells are top-notch. This is my fourth one and the quality has been flawless every time. Installation can be tricky, but with a little patience (and a good YouTube guide) the end result is fantastic. Highly recommended.

Tried two other shells from other companies which were a terrible fit but this one is perfect in every way super nice fit and really high quality. Extremerate are the best in my opinion I use their switch Xbox and ps5 shells a lot never had an issue not once!! Highly recommend!

Super quality case, looks fantastic. Only thing worth noting is there is no recess on the shell to add the little Nintendo badge.

The overall quality of the shell is great looks good and fits together well, only flaws are the screwdrivers aren’t great and my shell was missing the flat screw covers which is rather annoying because there are not exact replacements online…

I cannot recommend this shell unless you have your own tri wing screwdriver, this driver is so soft and disintegrates when being used. Edit: Seller was quick to react to this negative review and initially the seller reached out to offer a refund for the poor experience but then rescinded this offer in lieu of a replacement screwdriver set which is not needed considering the content of the review.
