I have bought a lot in the past few months. Everything I have ever gotten had no defects. Been very pleased with everything. My gameboys now have a breath of fresh air and new life!

don't buy this, looks and feels cheap.

This case is superb. I was worried about the quality after reading the other reviews but it is solid. Maybe only 90% of the weight of the original case but still solid. I really liked that it came with replacement screws -- definitely use the included screws since the original screws are a bit too tight! Power button is a little harder to switch, but it looks AWESOME. Six stars.

Used this shell to complete my rebuild for my new game boy color and the quality exceeded my expectations. Highly recommend to anyone who may be nervous about the quality of the shell they’re purchasing

I recently purchased a for parts GBC on eBay for a good price in my 'dream' color (teal), with the only issue being the buttons not responding. I wanted to try my hand at modding without worrying about damaging my own handhelds, but when it arrived the buttons worked perfectly! Other than a quiet speaker (which I am looking forward to fixing!), a gross/dirty stained shell and missing battery door, it's in perfect working condition. I wanted to keep it teal since I've wanted one for ages, so purchased this shell along with new buttons, a backlit replacement LCD and cover screen to dress it up and it is absolutely perfect!!
The teal is ~very~ close to the original color if not the same, and it paired with white buttons and screen makes for a gorgeous re-shell!

The shell feels like the original. The battery cover does not rattle like the factory one. The quality of the molding is top notch.
