Take your time disassembling the old shell so you know how to put it back together. It took me a little while but now that it’s all done the Gameboy looks incredible. Better than new. It comes with a full set of black and red buttons, I couldn’t decide so I ended up doing black on left and red on right. It looks a lot cooler than going with just one color. I also did an LCD screen upgrade while I was in there so the before and after here is not just from the shell. I’ve used this company in the past for rebuilding Xbox One controllers. They make good stuff.

Take your time disassembling the old shell so you know how to put it back together. It took me a little while but now that it’s all done the Gameboy looks incredible. Better than new.

The online instructions are *okay*, but do yourself a favor and just watch a video guide instead. That display ribbon cable is notoriously finnicky. Other than that, the shell is great! While I’m not a huge fan of this “soft plastic,” I will say that all the buttons feel pretty nice and the shell mold looks good around the “volume” and “power” labels. Overall, it’s a great value for your money. GBA SP’s are often considered the definitive method of playing GBA games on official hardware. Shells from 20+ years ago are going on the fritz, so a nice way to help preserve your system would be to invest in a replacement shell. ## Frequently Bought Together - IPS Ready Upgraded eXtremeRate Classic NES Style Custom Replacement Housing Shell for Gameboy Advance SP GBA SP – Compatible with Both IPS & Standard LCD – Console & Screen NOT Included - ENDARK 2 Player Link Cable Connect Cord for Nintendo GameBoy Color/GBC (1 piece) - OSTENT 850mAh Rechargeable Lithium-ion Battery + Tool Kit Pack Compatible for Nintendo Game Boy Advanced GBA SP Console --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/529737841-ips-ready-upgraded-extremerate-classic-nes-style-custom-replacement-housing](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/529737841-ips-ready-upgraded-extremerate-classic-nes-style-custom-replacement-housing) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-10*
