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!

When you receive a backlight/LCD kit, you should perform a dry run before installing to assure that nothing has been damaged in transit. A dry run or test fit means the kit is not installed in the shell. This includes, but is not limited to, the use of adhesives, brackets, and any performed soldering.
