Category: Game Boy Advance Shells

All clearance items are final sale and cannot be returned, exchanged, or refunded.

RetroSix has discontinued many individual parts. Once these items sell out, there will only be shell kits that include a shell, buttons, membranes, USB-C battery door and a lens.

Behold the holy grail of Game Boy Advance Shells from our partner RetroSix.

The fit, feel and tolerance on the RetroSix ABS shell is better than the original. The buttons are stronger with newer ABS and more accurate molds than the original, the buttons and triggers are ultra-responsive, the plastic is much stronger and free of any detects like those you get on injection-molded shells.

This listing is for a shell and battery cover. Buttons and Lens sold separately. 

These shells will no longer have the "For Nintendo" logo. We have a separate listing for the shells that still have the "For Nintendo" logo here.

FEATURES:

  • IPS ready for GBA IPS LCD backlight mods
  • Entirely backwards compatible - Normal sized LCD fits as well as AA batteries
  • Includes battery cover
  • The Pearl series includes a Matte anti-slip finish which creates a soft touch
  • Extra wide window for IPS GBA Glass and Tempered Glass Lens

INCLUDED:

  • 1x GBA Prestige Shell
  • 1x Battery Cover
  • 1x Set of screws and LED cover
  • 1x Replacement back sticker

 PAIRS WELL WITH:

  • CleanJuice Game Boy Advance Rechargeable Battery Module
  • Game Boy Advance USB-C Battery Cover - RetroSix
  • Game Boy Advance Prestige Buttons
  • Game Boy Advance Prestige Silicone Membranes

NOTES:

  • We recommend only pairing these shells with RetroSix button sets. Triggers from any other company may have fitment issues with shell.
  • Prestige shells may need some trimming near the start/select area inside shell.
  • Shell can still be used for regular GBAs without IPS screens. Just purchase regular sized screen and be aware of having to position/secure the original screen down centered in view due to the opening being larger than normal.
  • Not recommended/compatible with Laminated LCD kits.
  • Clear variants will be more frosted than crystal clear. We have Crystal Clear shells available here.
  • The shells feature self-threading screws as the screw posts are not pre-threaded. To avoid damage, do not over-tighten, as this may cause cracks. Refunds are not given in these instances.
  • Created by RetroSix.

PEARL SHELLS + CLEANING:

  • Use of Isopropyl Alcohol on these shells will cause the finish to wear away.
  • To clean the Pearl shells use a clean white microfiber cloth and mild solvent of your choice. When using a colored microfiber cloth, the solvent can dissolve the dye and stain your shell.

Jason ★★★★★

The pre-cut shell fit my IPS screen perfectly with zero trimming needed, and the translucent plastic has a nice subtle texture. For a clearance price, the quality surprised me in a good way.

Robert ★★★★★

The clear shell lets the IPS screen's colors really pop, and the cutouts for the buttons are precise with no sharp edges. I swapped my old console into this prestige shell in under 20 minutes, and it feels factory-fresh. For a clearance price, the fit and finish blew me away.

Sophia P. ★★★★★

This shell is surprisingly sturdy for a clearance item, the plastic has a nice matte feel to it. The IPS screen fits snugly with no light bleed around the edges, which I was worried about. Really happy I grabbed it before they sold out.
