Standard cheap plastic--you know the drill.
The screws & **** holes are god awful--couldn't get the shell to close using the laminated hispeedo screen, even though this says it's compatible. Doesn't close at all, and in trying to hold the two sides together to close it, it snapped in two with little to no pressure.

In the brief moment I had to test the feel of it, using the Prestige buttons felt awful. A + B are okay, the triggers don't fit into the shell and have to be forced in, and the D-Pad is basically a touchpad with how shallow it fits. Even if it didn't break on me, this D-Pad would be virtually unusable.

Words cannot begin to describe my disappointment with this borderline scam.

Not much to say, fits nice, looks nice, looks even nicer with some fly buttons. Would buy again.

love how it looks! this is my first ever handheld mod so there's obviously things i could've done better, but the shell is very high quality! my main warning is to spend a little extra to get a nice set of screwdrivers for installation- the holes aren't pre-threaded so a crummy screwdriver can strip the screws and make it impossible to open the device again.

Not sure why it isn't clearly mentioned in bold letters in the notes of this shell, the most you get is a warning about using a colored microfiber cloth, but for the love of god do NOT let this come anywhere near IPA, as it will absolutely ruin your finish. I didn't even have the system fully assembled and managed to set the top shell just near a little spill of IPA while cleaning some flux and in seconds it had immediately started to peel the finish. Absolute colossal bummer because I just finished installing the new display and now I need to go through the hassle of getting a new shell, uninstalling the display, and buying new adhesive so I can reinstall. Words truly cannot express my disappointment, but perhaps this is common knowledge and I am just entirely out of the loop. Big sad :(

This replacement has pretty great quality. I was really surprised when I installed the IPS screen and had absolutely no trimming to do whatsoever. It is a little lighter than the OG shell but it does exactly what you’d want it to do. Definitely purchase these if you’re skeptical! Handheld has yet to let me down yet. As well as the best customer service by far.

I purchased my last shell as a gift but I have one of these for my personal GBA as well. Shell looks and feels great. Photo provided is a little old but it’s the only one I have of it completed.
