DOCUMENTATION:

NOTES:

  • USE CAUTION and take your time when threading screws into shell posts. If inserted/screwed in too far, the screws can poke out the other side of the shell. Refunds/replacements are not given if this occurs.
  • Shell Kits DO NOT INCLUDE IPS kits or hinges.
  • Clear shells are more of a frosted clear.
  • Shells do not have a cutout for the Nintendo Logo sticker.
  • These are full kits. No swaps of buttons or lenses between kits will be accepted.
  • Works with OEM (Original) LCD's. A small bracket/adhesive may be needed to keep the LCD from shifting around in the top housing.
  • The shells feature self-threading screws as the screw posts are not pre-threaded. To avoid damage, do not over-tighten, as this may cause cracks. Refunds are not given in these instances.

Great quality

This is my first time refurbishing a Game Boy Advance SP got to say I was pretty happy with the quality of the extreme rate shell. The color is amazing the materials feel solid, the fit and finish is spot on. You get a lot out of this kit for your money too! If I ever do another SP I'll get an extreme rate shell again.

Great Product and Great Service

Product is excellent. Hand Held goes the extra mile with all the extra stuff (tools, extra screws, stickers included). I highly recommend them and I'll certainly buy from them again. Quick shipping too!

Beautiful shell

The emerald green shell is absolutely beautiful, I just stare at it sometimes. Fitment was great with my IPS v5 screen.

It was nice that buttons and membranes were included, but I did not use them as the ones from my donor SP were still in great condition.

The included tools are usable in a pinch.

The only reason this is not a 5 star product is the included Triwing screws, they are INCREDIBLY SOFT and feel like they would strip any second. I ended up using the OEM Triwings from my donor SP for everything besides the two shorter ones on the bottom as the included seem to be slightly shorter than the OEM ones.
