Behold the holy grail of Game Boy DMG shells from our partner RetroSix.

The fit, feel, and tolerance of 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.

The battery compartment allows for a drop-in fit of the CleanJuice XL without any cutting required. If you plan to purchase a CleanJuice we recommend to purchase the USB-C battery cover so you have the USB C hole in the battery cover.

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

FEATURES:

  • IPS ready. Simplify the installation of your Game Boy DMG RIPS V5 IPS Backlight.
  • Q5 LCD kits will require the viewing window to be modified.
  • Shell can still be used for regular Game Boy's without IPS screens. Original screens still fit perfect without any modifications.
  • The Pearl series includes a Matte anti-slip finish which creates a soft touch.
  • Clear variants will be more frosted than crystal clear.

INCLUDED:

  • 1x DMG Prestige Shell
  • 1x Battery Cover
  • 1x Set of Screws
  • 1x EXT Port Cover

PAIRS WELL WITH:

  • Cleanjuice Game Boy DMG USB-C Rechargeable Battery Pack | Original
  • Cleanjuice Game Boy DMG USB-C Rechargeable Battery pack | XL
  • Game Boy DMG USB-C Battery Cover for Cleanjuice DMG

NOTES:

  • As of 9/26/23 - Pearl Red, and Pearl Purple variant are currently not a perfect color match for Pearl Red, and Pearl Purple shell.
  • A majority of these shells will no longer have the "For Nintendo Game Boy" text as they are being phased out. Only the 'Clear' variant will have applicable text.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Created by RetroSix.

Joseph W. ★★★★★

The shell went together perfectly—no sanding needed, and the button holes lined up without any fuss. The start/select membranes feel much firmer than the squishy originals.

Leo C. ★★★★★

The ABS plastic feels noticeably sturdier than the original shell, and the button slots are cut perfectly—no wobble at all. It made the whole swap a breeze and looks fantastic with the IPS screen.

Ruby ★★★★★

Finally got this shell swapped over the weekend and the button feel is noticeably snappier than the original plastic. The ABS material has a solid, clicky response with zero flex.
