Review: Gawd Damn! - This is the definition of ease. The case works perfectly with original GBA hardware, and no cutting or shaping is necessary I paired this case with their matching eXtremeRate buttons replacement for a clean single color design and I love it. The case doesn't feel like a cheap replacement case, it feels quite nice. This particular case has a glossy smooth finish, which tends to show fingerprints a bit easier, but I personally don't find it a problem because a quick wipe down with a dry cloth, it's ready to be put back on the display shelf with no fingerprints to be seen! Features that I enjoy on this is: The battery holder. For more context, I've replaced so many gba shells where the battery cover is just loose, where they can fall out or just rattle around, BUT THIS ONE IS PERFECT! It's a tight fit and stays in the battery slot perfectly. I also like that this case comes with a blue metal plate for the GBA game slot. It's not a huge deal, but it allows the piece blend in a lot better over a plain silver plate that can just stick out like a sore thumb! Lastly I enjoy how the screen it ships with does not say anything other then Game Boy Advance. I have seen many companies say something different on the screen, like their company name or just random things. This one keeps to the original and it's very appreciated! Overall it's a 10/10 in my book. I have and will continue to reccomend it to friends, and people who repair Game Boy Advances'!
Review: Work with Laminated v5 - with work - I have to say, I was mainly buying this shell because the pretrimmed v5 Hispeedido shell wouldn't close on its own for some reason (a few posts were too high and I fixed the issue). I have also bought GBA SP shells/buttons and NDSL shells from Extremerate and have been incredibly satisfied. These shells like their GBA SP and NDSL counterparts fit together REALLY well. In fact, I would say I prefer these shells over the OEM ones as they just feel better in terms of quality. In terms of the buttons and the overall functionality of the shell, it works great. You will need to give it a little bit of time for the membranes to really wear in as they're a tad stiff when they're brand new. Onto the thing that many might be wondering. How much do you need to trim this for a laminated v5 screen? A good amount. I've done 3 builds with these shells with these screens but if you need to know what to do you may want to look on YouTube how to trim an OEM shell for a laminated screen. The process is fairly similar. Basically you trim the window out on all sides a bit and then sand down the right hand side (from the inside POV). Overall, I would highly recommend these shells to anyone. If you can't trim the shell, don't get the laminated kit, just get the one that's nonlaminated and you'll do just fine. UPDATE: 1-22-2025 I've bought multiple of the black shell and buttons to match and can still say these shells are absolutely awesome. They of course still require some work to get the laminated v5 screens to fit but they're excellent shells. I have recently done a custom FP GBA board (you have to transplant the CPU and RAM) and the board fit decently. Depending on how well aligned the audio jack is you may have to Drexel away a small amount of material from the inside of the shell for it to be perfect. It's about 20 seconds worth of work but it's certainly worth it for the results. These shells are absolutely awesome!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful case, small game cart port
*by J***Y on June 11, 2025*

The shell is beautiful and had a pretty nice feel. I also bought some buttons to go along it it. I love the way it looks. However, some of my games BARELY fit in it. I actually ended up scratching the entry port a bit to get that copy of pokemon Ruby in there, and it was a STRUGGLE to get the games back out. Id still highly recommend it, since the games at least still go in and out. As adults, I really doubt we are swapping which games go in too often
