Behold the holy grail of Game Boy Advanced Shells. The Game Boy Advance Prestige IPS Ready Shell is designed specifically for the ultimate Game Boy Advance, including an IPS modded LCD AND a USB-C battery cover to go with your CleanJuice Game Boy Advance Li-Ion Rechargeable Battery Module.
IPS LCD's and foam adhesive is NOT included.
This shell is produced via casting and using ABS (from Japan), as oppose to all other shells on the market being made of injection molded cheap and inaccurate soft plastics.
NOTE: Shell can still be used for regular GBAs without IPS screens. Just purchase regular sized screen and be aware of having to position/secure the original screen down centered in view due to the opening being larger than normal.
About
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.
Simply place your IPS screen in and push it to the top right (when looking down inside the shell installing the screen) to perfectly center it. For a professional fitting we sell a 3D bracket to hold the LCD in position.
The Pearl series have a pearl finish that reflects light differently at different angles, making the shell have an amazing glow when moving it around. The finish is matt, and treated with our own special anti-slip rubber. This gives your console an ultra-premium feel and luxury finish.
The front shell has an extra wide window opening, and inside has the wall reduced by the A/B/Start/Select buttons reduced, along with all other requirements to allow the IPS screen kits to simply drop into place.
Once you compare our shell with all the others on the market you will never look back!
The kit comes with all buttons, rubber contact pads, light pipe, front and back shell, battery cover, tempered glass IPS screen, back sticker and screws. Everything you need to swap out your old and dirty GBA and make it amazing for the 21st century!
History
In 2001, Nintendo delivered the next generation of portable entertainment into the hands of eager gamers. The Game Boy Advance gives you console-quality gaming in your pocket - and its bright, colorful and finger-intuitive design is still a classic. We spent over a year developing the perfect GBA shell. Spending over $20,000 that we will never get back, in the name of perfection.
After great success of our first mold, we spent a further $8,000 and made a new mold, perfecting the start/select buttons, opening out the window and altering the inside structure so that IPS screens can simply drop in with no modification whatsoever!
