Behold the holy grail of Game Boy Advance Shells from our partner RetroSix.
The fit, feel and tolerance on the RetroSix ABS shell is better than the original. The buttons are stronger with newer ABS and more accurate molds than the original, the buttons and triggers are ultra-responsive, the plastic is much stronger and free of any detects like those you get on injection-molded shells.
This listing is for a shell and battery cover. Buttons and Lens sold separately.
These shells do not have "For Nintendo" logos. Check out other available colors on our prestige shells with "For Nintendo" logos.

Love it! Better then the stock shell!
The picture shows more of a glossy finish, its somewhat more matte looking, definitely feels more matte to the touch, which is ok if thats what you’re looking for on a clear black shell. Quality and strength is great. the screws are absolute garbage quality, so be careful when tightening and loosening. IPS screen fit perfectly and aligned as intended, if you follow the instructions.
Nice feeling material, but the shell had a large gap along the edge between the pieces. Had to spend over an hour shaving down the **** standoffs until it finally fit together properly. The soft material also meant that one of the screwholes ended up getting stripped by the time I had fixed the gap. The lens also did not fit properly which messed up the LCD alignment.
Thanks for your review! Please reach out to us at support@handheldlegend.com so we may look into this further with you.
Loved the shell and it brought new life to my old GBA. My only gripe is using this shell with an IPS Drop in screen from Vetro Gaming. Fits well and functions near perfectly. But when attaching the touch sensor for color modes, do light sanding on the top portion you’d attach this sensor to. If you don’t, the sensor won’t register your touch. Again this isn’t a big deal, just some knowledge that should be passed down before pairing with that part. My only guess is that it’s due to paint on the shell, but when it comes to modding, there’s always going to be some “trimming” needing to be done.
It was too small for the ips display. I didn’t fit, and according to the description it’s supposed to be extra wide and it was a lie, it fits a normal oem plastic lens on the front, and I can’t use a new funnyplaying ips screen
Thanks for the feedback! Looking at your order, it looks like you purchased an IPS kit that is not compatible with the shell you are reviewing. This is noted on the product page for the IPS kit since it requires a specific shell and the install guide for the IPS kit also mentions this - Laminated ITA TFT Backlight Kit for Game Boy Advance - Funnyplaying. If you have any questions about this, feel free to reach out to support.
