Timorn Full Parts Housing Shell Pack Replacement for GBA SP Gameboy Advance SP (Black Pack)

I am a huge Pokémon fan and my go to way to play is on the Gameboy Advance SP. Someone gifted me their old SO, complete with scratches, and a broken hinge. Considering I got it for free, I decided to purchase one of these shells, thinking what's the harm, even if I mess up I've only lost a broken gameboy. Let me say though, I love this shell. It looks great and Nintendo never made one like it which makes me appreciate it even more, with that being said I'll give a couple pieces of criticism.One, the screwdrivers it came with were small and slippery, making it hard for my big hands to keep a grip on, but nothing impossible to deal with. Also, not to this company's fault, but I will say when it comes to installation the ribbon cable was the most challenging part, it took me a good half hour. You definitely want to look up instructional videos on YouTube. My final gripe is the power switch button is a little sticky, so I ended up using the one from the original housing, no big deal.But hey, for how much this shell was, I'm really not complaining, again, it's fairly simple to install and looks awesome, I play it way more than my original SP now. It was a fun install and I'm definitely going to do more, I highly recommend this one and any other color from this company. For the price, 5 out of 5 stars.

With a small amount of trimming, this shell is great. Pricier than other options, though it is well worth it. Everything lines up nicely, screws are the proper size/type, plastic seems quality, and the color pops in a similar way to oem shells. 9.5/10 would recommend.

Shell is decent quality but do not expect it to be perfect as this is not original or intended to be, the only issue I found was some screws are not the same as the original shell ones. The small Phillips screws are for the screen, the longer Y screws are for the bottom of the case and battery cover comes attached with a screw, one of the small Phillips is also the game port screw on the bottom. The long skinny Y screw is for the hinge cover piece. I believe that’s all of them, i think I had a couple extras as the case doesn’t have holes for the motherboard to be secured down, the motherboard just sits on the bottom screw pegs only, also for anyone who doesn’t know the hinges will pop in easy if you have the screen open or up like you are playing the system. Do not try to insert them with the screen closed or down, it doesn’t work that way, they may be easier to pop out if the screen is open as well. I paired the shell with the protective case they also sell and all in all not bad at all. The protective case fits decent once you carefully position it and snap it on, I’d definitely buy more if needed, I bought 2 of both just in case! Hope this info helps

If your getting this I hope you know exactly how to take apart your current SP, or at least have done your research, this product was a nice replacement to my old SP. Although a few notes1. The stoppers that you put around the screen, theres only 2 big ones so make sure those go at the 2 top corners so it closes safely2. There's a little square bolt that you put where the battery case screw goes so make sure to put that in when replacing the case.3. This does NOT include the hinges/joints for the opening and closing of the screen, so be extremely careful pushing those out of your previous SP shell.Also as a con, this shell had a small bump in the middle of the button area face. It's not a bit deal but assume there might be minor imperfectionsProsLooks LegitHas Nintendo logo for the back of the screen and sticker for the back.Feels nice on all the buttons as well.

Positives:This product arrived as advertisedContained the required toolsWorked perfectly fineNegatives:You will likely need tweezers for assembly and disassemblyIs advertised as a full shell replacement but lacked new hingesProduct quality is fine, but definitely worse than the original shell, (cheaper feel and buttons feel loose but functional)All in all this is a fine replacement depending on your needs and functions as expected

I originally had this color on my GameBoy when I first got it, and after a little accident I ended up having to replace the shell with a platinum color from a game reseller. It was great but I was young when I replaced and didn't have the correct tools so it didn't work quite right.I found this package and it was absolutely perfect. It came with the tools I needed, that I didn't have the first time around, and not only that I was able to have my OG color back. I put the included screen protector on, which wasn't necessary and I probably wouldn't do it again only because the font isn't quite right, but if you don't care it's a perfect replacement. 100% would recommend to anyone, especially if you need it.

This case was relatively easy to install. I’d recommend watching a quick YouTube video just because you have to disconnect the screen from the board. Only issue I have with the shell is the small accent piece on the front, where the joint is doesn’t seem to sit very flush. I’ve tried different screws and it’s still doing it so I’m assuming the piece is a little bowed. Not a big issue, don’t notice it unless you’re looking for it from a specific angle. Overall it’s a great case, I got white and it looks almost silver. Seems to be like a satin white.I do wish it came with stickers for the back! But I can order some.

This is perfect, everything is good. I bought new hinges for cheap on Amazon and the old screen glass was still good. HEADS UP when you put the ribbon cable for the screen in BE CAREFUL and when you screw the screen top screws down DONT OVERTIGHTEN go until it just meets and the gap is sealed good. Easily scratched (hard to explain unless you have it in your hands) but I have a nice case for it so it is well protected. Good choice.
