DOCUMENTATION:

  • Proper Hinge Insertion Guide - use caution during this step. Refunds/replacements are not given if hinge housing or hinges break.
  • Install Video from eXtremRate

NOTES:

  • USE CAUTION and take your timewhen threading screws into shell posts. If inserted/screwed in too far, the screws can poke out the other side of the shell. Refunds/replacements are not given if this occurs.
  • Shell Kits DO NOT INCLUDE IPS kits or hinges.
  • Clear shells are more of a frosted clear.
  • Shells do not have a cutout for the front Nintendo Logo sticker.
  • These are full kits. No swaps of buttons, membranes, etc between kits will be accepted.
  • Soft touch = a matte, soft texture, anti-slip finish.
  • Works with OEM (Original) LCD's. A small bracket/adhesive may be needed to keep the LCD from shifting around in the top housing.
  • 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.
  • Certain variants will include a screen protector. This is not a lens and an optional add on. It is placed on the outside of the shell. The adhesive on this screen protector is very strong and is precisely cut to fit the SP frame perfectly. Removal of this screen protector requires the provided tri-wing screwdriver to open the top lid in order to gain access to any corner of the screen protector. Do not use rubbing alcohol, hair dryers, or any sharp objects in an attempt to remove the protector, as this could cause serious damage to the LCD. As this is a plastic screen protector, it is prone to light scratches. Remove any dust or debris before placing the lens.

Hannah ★★★★★

The matte finish on this shell feels great in hand, and the IPS cutout lined up perfectly with no trimming needed. Installation took me about 30 minutes, and now my old SP looks brand new with the upgraded screen.

Zoe ★★★★★

Finally got around to swapping my old scratched shell and the IPS screen alignment tabs on this one are perfectly placed, making the install way easier than I expected. The matte finish feels really nice in hand too, much better than the original glossy plastic.

Leo F. ★★★★★

The swap took me under an hour, and the ABS plastic feels sturdy enough that I’m not worried about cracks during travel. The button holes lined up perfectly with the stock membranes, which is usually where these kits fail for me.
