Our shells are drop-in IPS screens can simply drop in with no modification whatsoever! Simply place your IPS screen in central (use our IPS bracket for perfect alignment). Additionally, 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 the Battery version of this shell, so you have the USB C hole in the battery cover, although it will still fit in this shell if you prefer not to have a hole.

Once you compare our shell with all the others on the market you will never look back!

Game Boy Pocket IPS LCD Kit - Funnyplaying

Upgrade your Game Boy Pocket (GBP) with this Game Boy Pocket IPS LCD Backlight Kit. IPS LCD's are characterized as having the best color and viewing angles available today. Take your old and outdated reflective pocket display to a bright and colorful upgrade your 10 year old self could only dream of.

Case modification and soldering required
Genuine Funny Playing product
Built-in 36 retro color combination
11% larger than the original LCD
Overall power consumption between 0.3 - 0.8W
Accurate aspect ratio

WARNING: IPS LCDs are very fragile and are subject to breaking if not handled with extreme care.

Since GBP USES two AAA batteries, the maximum capacity we can find is at 1100mWh. According to our repeated tests, it ran the original cartridge at normal brightness indoors for about 3 hours.
If you use the burn card, it will greatly reduce the battery life.
It is recommended to use an electronic cleaner to handle your power switch and gray scale adjustment buttons. This makes the LCD brightness adjustment smoother to use
