Game Boy Advance SP Hinge Replacement Pair

Handheld legends has some great products however, this one did not work in my favour.

This is definitely partially my fault for not reading the description that says “retrosix shell only.” I just wish the title was more obvious as it’s easy to overlook. I’m sure the hinges work great with the shell, just make sure you double check your shell manufacture.

Not impressed with the quality of these hinges. One hinge had extra flashing preventing the hinge cap from being slid on, so I grabbed a pair of flush cutters and snipped it. The spring shot the plastic end off into the distance, where I'm fairly sure it's still orbiting earth.

I bought this for my boxypixel metal hinged sp. Works great.

I did not read the part that says it only works for this brand, its so far down on the page that I overlooked it. I guess you can't buy hinges for other brands on this site which is odd

Loved everything I ordered from Handheld Legend—except these hinges. They only spring-locked in the open position and wouldn’t lock closed. I ended up reusing the OEM hinges from my original SP, and just swapped the end caps with the ones from the new shell I got here. Honestly, I wouldn’t order these again. They’re super cheap, so not even worth returning—but as Obi-Wan would say: “These are not the droids you’re looking for.” They’ll work in a pinch, but definitely go OEM if you can.

I didn’t read the product description before buying. Luckily for me, my OEM hinges are just fine. These didn’t fit in my shell so it’s hard for me to say if they are good or bad.
