The power switch is way too tight. After putting everything together my Gameboy Color wouldn't turn off, took it apart again.

To find the power switch was now snapped off. Making the entire board useless until I can replace the broken switch.

Received this shell to use with an IPS display and wireless charge kit. Took my time with the self threading screws using 1/4 turns to set them. Even with me walking on eggshells i still had one **** that cracked the post / case and now i have an ugly mark dead center of the shell. The battery cover latch is also too weak for the wireless charge kit and needed some extra help to get it in a position to stay closed with the wireless kit. Not horrible, but not something id think I'd recommend in its current state.

I bought this to go along with Q5 hispeedido LCD. Trimming the posts wasn't a problem and the screen fits. I did not have any issues getting the battery terminals through the openings in the back of the case as someone suggested. There are two main problems with this case. The first is that the power switch is now too tight to be comfortable, you need a lot of force to move it even after I backed off the case screws a half turn. But the reason I gave this two stars and not 3 or even 4 is that the screws provided are too short. The two middle ones stripped out on the first try and I had read the other reviews so I was being careful. The entire mod took a lot of time and there were many times I feared something was going wrong. But somehow everything worked out until....I can't close the plastic case?? I scoured my electronics and was able to find four screws that were about 20% longer than the ones HHL provided. My screws worked perfectly for the top 4 screws. I used the original GBC tri-wing head screws for the two inside the battery slot and those worked fine.
This review could really easily be a 4. HHL needs to simply send slightly longer screws - should be an easy fix!

No where in the description did it say it had a rubberized coating.
none of my screens fit the standard plastic screen in the picture is too tall.
there's no way im going to put an expensive Q5 IPS display in this. its rubbish and i hate it.
it doesnt feel good either.

Great shell. Good feel
