I bought a clear GBA SP shell a couple months ago, and I loved the look of it. There was one problem: my OEM buttons, red buttons, and the black buttons that came with the shell were too shallow. If I pressed and twisted my thumb just a little bit, the button would rotate in the shaft and stay pressed down (see attached picture). I think the problem is with the casting of the shells; these translucent shells need the buttons to have deeper plungers. This dark red set from HHL, and a separate gray set that I ordered from a different retailer, both work just as intended. Thanks, HHL!

A few downsides, 1 was that the L and R triggers did not fit as well as the ones that came with the case and got stuck when pressed. 2, the A and B buttons, I had to grind down the underside center quite a bit so that they would actually function.
