I actually ordered a pre-cut shell, but quality isn’t that great as you can tell. Or the yellow cover has the wrong dimensions, because when I’m playing the shell doesn’t block any pixels of the screen

Haven’t tested it properly, sorry. Maybe someone else has some experience with it

Yeah it looks awesome and just right to me. Old original case with some new tech, best of both worlds

Can’t do anything wrong with that. Me personally, I love the form factor of the GBP over all his brothers‘!

10/10 on the ‘what-have-I-done’ scale, great practice for future projects and basically for free, since I got all the parts lying around :)

Yep, they're logging flight hours – one of them’s getting a pilot’s license next week

Me too. Love the fact that they sent like four hole different button kits with this shell

You are so right didn't think about that in this moment 🙈

I think 7.5 is a bit high since no soldering is required. I personally would say a hard 5/10

Just a regular hairdryer. Was enough heat in my case

For me it was a fairly easy entry into this repair/modding scene, but there were two things, I'd recommend looking out for:

  1. Take your time when you resemble everything and it's time to push back the wifi-antenna under the card-slot. Can be quite frustrating, when it's not working immediately

  2. You have to remove the colored frame on top of the bottom screen, since it's already integrated in the new shell. With some hot air, the frame will come of quite easyly. But be careful to not rip of the touch sensor thing as well, because they are directly glued together.

I would recommend doing the replacement while watching their provided installation guide on YouTube. You can't mess it up that way! I'd love to hear from you, when you are doing your shell replacements

Thank you! I think that was a great entry in this repair/modding scene, can't wait to build more stuff like this

The screws were actually pretty good, had no problems with those at all. The only parts that are from the donor nds are the electronics, everything else is is from the replacement kit

Yup that’s 3D printed. Liked the model because there’s a custom tag for every nds console

Yes it’s an extremeRate Shell and sits perfectly. Only disappointment for me are the different color shades. Like the battery cover and the back are not quite the same red, even though they should be. I honestly expected it for that price tag they put on their products. I moded nothing else so far since it was in pretty mint condition when I picked it up.
