Bought the clear shell twice, the first one I scrapt because I was spray painting it with my own design but didn't use the right primer and would have taken more time to clean. Second time around it was an easy and clean paint job. Pro tip: make sure shell gets a decent sand down and take your time on spay painting.
Overall the shell is solid but kind on seemed like it needed to have a real tight **** down to fit together. Additionally, two of the **** holes inside the front of the shell kind of became worn resulting in one of them breaking off. Not sure if this is a result of getting worn down from **** and unscrewing or needing to **** tighter to fit because if it wasn't tight enough the gba wouldn't turn off. I managed to find a solution so I didn't need to buy a 3rd shell but other then those this one issue the shell is great.
Shell itself is quite solid.
Buttons have tails that need trimming/sanding to avoid snallging on the shell, and the pads are ever so slightly smaller than the OEM counterparts which causes fitting to be frustrating.
Would have liked the internal Phillips screws separated from the external Y screws, or a full set of Phillips screws altogether.
The shell still has some of the edges that are typically trimmed with aftermarket mods, which was a major annoyance and could be removed in the mold without causing problems with OEM only parts. Some parts are so difficult to trim my unit ever so slightly bulges, and non threaded screw posts mean I can't risk trying to torque down without fear of damage.
The shell fit perfectly for my gameboy advance!

What a awful experience no holes are threaded took me forever to thread then finally when I get it all together the last screw on bottom goes to far now I have a white tip poking out what a complete waste of time.
Thanks for your feedback! With all aftermarket shells, the screw posts are not pre-threaded because if you need to open the console back up after closing, the more you do so, the more likely it is for the posts to be stripped of the threads or break. However, this creates resistance when putting the screws in the posts or removing them for the first time. With that in mind, the screws shouldn't have gone far enough as to poke through the shell unless they were over torqued. Please reach out to support so we may look into this further with you!
