RetroSix has discontinued many individual parts. Once these items sell out, there will only be shell kits that include a shell, buttons, membranes and a lens.

 

The prestige Game Boy Advance SP shell from RetroSix is a custom made high quality ABS shell. These shells are great for restorations or IPS installs with just a few easy trims.

FEATURES:

  • Custom molded made with high quality ABS plastic.
  • Easy-to-trim design makes it a stellar choice for IPS kits and original screens alike. Simply trim/snap off the small stumps inside the shell.
  • Full shell replacement.
  • The best hinges to use with these shells are these aftermarket ones. OEM and other hinges will be loose in the hinge housing.
  • All clear variants are more of a frosted clear than a crystal clear.

INCLUDED:

  • 1x Full front shell
  • 1x Full back shell
  • 1x Set of shell screws
  • 5x Matching screw covers
  • 1x Ribbon cover piece
  • 2x Matching hinge covers
  • 1x Set of LED covers
  • 1x Battery door
  • 1x Battery door washer and nut
  • 1x Cartridge slot guard

PAIRS WELL WITH:

DOCUMENTATION:

NOTES:

  • "Matte" means the shell will have a soft texture.
  • Shells do not have a cutout for the Nintendo Logo sticker.
  • 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.
  • Created by RetroSix.

Beautiful! I got the translucent purple.

Everything fits so easy. I used the aftermarket hinges, USB c charging port mod with the purple plug,, upgraded battery and the newest Hispeedido IPS display. Everything dropped in just right and the system is just beautiful. I can't wait to gift this hot rod SP to my son next week! Came with EVERYTHING you need, including the hinge covers and **** cover dots and bumpers. Even has a sticker for the back (though I opted for one of the more colorful options.)

Pretty shell

The translucent black version of this is very nice and allows the components to still be seen while providing that extra bit of style you want.

Do not recommend

The matte black shell is awful, screen and base sections have to many frictions and give a really rough feeling, the matte texture is a fingerprint/dirt magnet. The plastic feels incredibly cheap. and the texture is terrible.

New life for an old gameboy

I went with the matte black and its a great feel, however I had some issue with the top half shell fitting the original AGS-001 screen and tempered glass lens. I also went with the N64 buttons so It looks like a controller from my childhood. super happy with how it came out

Pros: good feel, went together correctly, looks awesome

Cons: no labeling on screws which was a little annoying, and the retrosix hinges did not work with this shell, I ended up using the orginal hinges and they work perfect.

Really Disappointed

While the shells are functional and have a nice feel to them, the actual build quality is not up to par. I bought 2 black matte shells and after assembly, there are still gaps where the pieces connect and its rather difficult to work the hinge as it gets stuck and doesnt want to close fully either, im assuming due to the matte coating on the shell. I even bought and used the suggested retrosix hinges.

Thanks for your review! The issue you are experiencing may be due to how the hinges were inserted during the install. The shell must be in an open position. Check out our hinge article on our wiki: https://wiki.handheldlegend.com/gba-sp-or-hinges

If you inserted the hinges as seen in the article, please reach out to us at support@handheldlegend.com so we may look into this further!

Right size, cheap plastic

The molding was great and everything new fit perfectly, the battery, screen, and buttons all fit fine. The problem lies within the plastic itself, its very cheap, I am quite careful with my consoles, and especially when something is new. That being said, I’ve has this new shell for only 2 weeks and i have cracks in multiple areas. Also, when I was first assembling the new shell and other components I noticed the pilot holes for the screws were all too small, making it difficult to avoid stripping. Multiple issues have lead me to a low review score and I will be trying some other brand next time.

Thank you for your review! Depending on where the cracks are, these may be due to pressure within the console. Shoot us a message at support@handheldlegend.com so we can discuss this further with you and provide a solution.
