About

The fit, feel, and tolerance of the RetroSix ABS shell is better than the original. The buttons are stronger with newer ABS and more accurate molds than the original, the buttons and triggers are ultra-responsive, the plastic is much stronger and free of any detects like those you get on injection-molded shells.

Our shells are drop-in so IPS screens can simply dropped in with no cased modification whatsoever! Simply place your IPS screen in central (use our IPS bracket for perfect alignment). Additionally, the battery compartment allows for a drop-in fit of the CleanJuice XL without any cutting required. If you plan to purchase a CleanJuice we recommend the Battery version of this shell, so you have the USB C hole in the battery cover, although it will still fit in this shell if you prefer not to have a hole.

Once you compare our shell with all the others on the market you will never look back!

History

Following on from our super successful GBA shell, we spent another 8 months developing the perfect GB shell. Spending over $10,000 on new molds even now we have the process more efficient since our GBA endeavor.

Cleaning

Pearl-series shells: We have tested multiple cleaning agents on the shells with success, and have heard that some individuals cleaning using a microfiber cloth along with a solvent may have the dye in the microfiber cloth come off on the shell. This has been observed only with solvents used with colored microfiber cloths.

Glass lens doesnt lay flat?

the shell looks cool but the Game Boy DMG IPS Q5 OSD Glass Screen Lens doesnt' lay flat. Is that just me?

Great if you don’t want to modify your existing shell

Overall it works fine, but one of the battery terminals came broken and 2 of the screw posts stripped out with almost no force

We might be able to help you out with this issue if you want to send more details to support@handheldlegend.com

It's okay

Like it says, the shells are painted so I could see that being a problem if it gets dropped and it's got a weird texture to it but that doesn't bother me.
It says ips ready but no matter what I'm still getting some screen bleeding on the edge but that could be my braket.
The screw posts aren't any better than some of the other aftermarket shells that I've used in the past some of them seemed even worse. Also I hate how it says for Nintendo gameboy that was really easy to miss in the pictures so I scraped that off.
Overall a pretty decent shell but I don't see what makes it "prestige." Not too different from any other aftermarket shell.
