Everything was excellent other than a few things. The stylus takes some force to remove from the bottom and the shell is strangely shiny and slippery.
Shell was quite low quality and had to use nippers to process the plastic.
The biggest problem was that the rubber to hide the **** that opens the top of the included Shell was not cut correctly into a large integrated rubber. I explained this over and over again to the store, but they never contacted me at all, just one reply. They would not even replace it. Now it looks shabby and the screws are still visible. It sucks.
Thanks for your review! We list a disclaimer at the top of the product page because we are aware of the trimming that is needed and overall quality issues. We are working on trying to find a supplier that could give us a better quality shell. The disclaimer states: 'Product is not up to our usual standards and the price has been reduced to reflect this. We are searching for a better quality product to supply. If purchased, please note trimming and sanding may be required in order to fit the motherboard and complete the build.'
These are poorly made and do not fit at all. The battery compartment had to be trimmed because the shells were not finished in that spot not allowing battery posts to come through. Once I trimmed that I went to put it all together to only find that none of the port slots were trimmed to the correct height either not allowing the charge port to sit down properly. I would recommend cleaning the factory shell over re-shelling due to the poor quality.
Thank you for your feedback! We recently added a disclaimer to the product to make customers aware of these quality issues. We are doing our best to search for a better quality product but DSL shells can be rather difficult to source.
I could bot have gotten my ds closed unless I would trim some plastics and had to drill bumper rod sockets deeper.
Thanks for your review! We recently added a disclaimer to the product page stating these types of issues and that the product is not up to our current standards. We are currently looking into locating a better quality shell but this can be very difficult and may take some time.
Paid for Dark Blue and got the Blue/Black shell instead
We apologize for the mix-up! If you haven't already, please reach out to support@handheldlegend.com so we may get the correct shell out to you.
The shell worked with some modifications. Had to trim the battery compartment because it crushed the original EM coil on the board; I had to replace it. I also needed to drill out one of the bumper hinge sockets because it would not allow the case to close properly and I had to trim the hole for the power switch due to it getting stuck. Other than those things, I like the replacement shell.
