I like the look and feel of the red shell. It doesn't feel as premium as the OEM so it feels a bit more DIY which I don't mind. The Funnyplaying V3 laminated IPS Screen fits neatly into it, although it seems to be a bit off centre, just slightly. The GBA's top is asymmetric in OEM shells to begin with. but I think normally the screen is just a tad more to the right. It's not big enough an error to leave me dissatisfied with the build though.
I think there was a nintendo sticker included which is a misprint. I'm not sure if this was a perk from Handheldlegend or just something that comes with the shell though. So maybe get a spare one to be sure. It doesn't come with the bigger back sticker.
DO NOT use the screws that come with it you. They're not as flat as the OEM and if you use that in the cartridge slot, it will scratch through the nintendo embossing on the back of your carts, which did happen in my case :/
Other than that it's pretty good
Screw mounts are problematic. Screws provided are weak and fare poorly as the torque required to drive the screw in to a comfortable fit into this shell is too much for the screws. Disappointed.
I like this shell a lot. It feels pretty high quality, with a sort of matte finish. I have to agree with some of the other reviews that some of the screws don’t fit so well. I ended up using some of my OG screws to go around the screen because the **** hole covers were not sitting in flush with the screws that came with this. Other than that I love it!
Is a very cool case but there is some wiggle room for a cloud IPS screen and I don't know if it was a crack on it when I arrived or when I was working on it and also was tough to get the hinges in but other then that it is a very nice case cool glow in the dark.
I mixed and matched two of these shells. They have a matte finish that isn't as premium-feeling as other brands, especially other glossy shells. The plastic is a little soft and doesn't seem super sturdy, but it's not terrible either. I had an issue with the hinge caps on the pink one - for some reason I just couldn't get the hinges in with them on. I switched to the blue caps and they went in perfectly. I do really like the color range that is available. I couldn't find a transparent/translucent hot pink shell anywhere else.
Great shells. Can’t be beat.
