Customer Reviews (4.8 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Jacob X. ★★★★★

Installed this shell last night and the IPS screen cutouts were spot-on, no filing needed. The matte finish feels great in hand, way better than the original glossy plastic.

Kevin M. ★★★★★

The cutouts lined up perfectly on my first try, which never happens with these swaps. The ABS shell feels solid and clicks together tighter than the original, so no creaking when I grip it during long sessions.

Hazel ★★★★★

The matte finish on this shell feels really nice in hand, and the IPS screen cutout was perfectly aligned so I didn't have to do any trimming. It brought my old Game Boy Color back to life with zero hassle.
