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

This might be a bit of a biased review, but I love all of eXtremeRate's products. They are high quality products that are made to fit. I love the material they are made out of as well. A real pleasure to hold. A couple of notes for this particular product. Yes, it comes with all the hardware needed to build the system with a couple of exceptions. 1st, it does not come with new hinge pins, only the covers. 2nd, it does not come with the circlip to retain the battery door screw. You will need to harvest these parts from the old system that you are reshelling. I actually harvested all the hardware from my old system because I wanted it to have a factory feel which means reusing the tri-wing screws. These screws, as far as I can tell, I never actually opened the bag of hardware so I am not sure, has been replaced with standard phillips head screws. It comes with a new SN label but not a battery door label, which can be ordered from etsy. For those of you who want the systems unique SN on your main label, you can also get one of those on etsy. As noted in the product description, the main board and screen do not come in the kit, it would be a lot more expensive if they did. It also does not come with a new glass for the screen. You can pick one of those up if needed on amazon. It also does not come with a battery. This is just a shell.

I got this to replace the old, brittle shell on my boyfriend's SP. It was hard for him to open without the hinges giving him trouble, the ribbon kept getting exposed, and he was literally afraid to even use it for fear of breaking it further. He was looking into buying another, but I talked him into letting me try putting a new shell on it, which was certainly the more affordable option.I read some reviews about the quality and feel of these cases as opposed to others, and I'm glad I spent the bit extra on this brand. This case has almost a velvety texture, and I was pretty impressed with it. With the aid of a YouTube tutorial, I had no trouble fitting the innards of the old one into this case - actually, I ran into most of my troubles getting the old case off without it breaking. This thing's GREAT 👍

I made the mistake of assuming, because it says it had been modified to make IPS screen fit better, that the funnyplaying ITA tft screen would fit. It does not. I haven't tested their IPS, but will update after I receive it. Pro tip, don't assume and be prepared to purchase multiple replacement parts because none of the manufacturers list what screens do and do not fit. Additionally, the screen manufacturers also do not state what case is best.

Tutto ok... tranne qualche vite che gira a vuoto

This shell feels quite nice in hand. It feels sturdy enough to last for a while and looks very nice too.An issue that it had on arrival, but I've fixed was a rubbing plastic sound when the hinge moved. This was caused by a small bit of plastic that I had to file down. It wasn't a difficult job, but it warants a mention incase anyone else deals with it. After that I had no troubles to date.The screws included aren't the best. After some fiddling with them I decided to throw them aside and simply reuse the screws from my old shell. The screwdrivers included aren't much better.But overall I think it's a worthwhile pickup if you're trying to find a good reshell for your SP.
