Review: 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: Esta carcasa fue mi primera opcion, pues hice un trabajo de restauración de un GBA que estaba en muy mala condición, le faltaba la tapa de las pilas, la del cable link, ademas de que la pantalla estaba rayada y no funcionaba el audio. Tambien cambie la pantalla por una IPS, la cual compre en otra tienda la cual incluia una carcasa, aunque no de mala calidad, los plasticos estaban algo duros. Estoy muy contento con el resultado, los botones son suaves y el plastico tienen un acabado gloss o satinado que lo hace muy agradable, el acabado en azul metalico ni se diga. NOTA A QUIEN COMPRE ESTA CARCASA: en mi caso compre un KIT IPS V5 de HISPEEDIDO, el cual es una pantalla laminada, por lo que si desean hacer la instalación de dicho kit en esta carcasa se tendra que recortar el marco interior y rebajar uno de los lados para poder instalar la pantalla correctamente. ## Features - Upgraded replacement full shell for GBA with full buttons and screen lens, more accurate mold makes the installation smoother - IPS screen installation friendly (you still need to cut off a small piece of plastic, IPS screen NOT included) - Entirely backwards compatible - Standard LCD fits - Fully compatible with our premium replacement buttons (sold separately), make your console looks more personalized - Installation Skills Required: Required customers to take apart the game console to install this housing shell; Required customers handy with console installation; Get installation video guide on Youtube by searching “eXtremeRate Upgraded Shell for GBA” ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B092LGY69Z | | Best Sellers Rank | #188,649 in Toys ( See Top 100 in Toys ) #676 in Handheld Games | | Item model number | TAGP3001 | | Manufacturer | Extremerate | | Product dimensions | 8W x 2.5H centimeters | ## Product Details - **Brand:** eXtremeRate - **Colour:** Blue - **Finish type:** Glossy - **Hardware platform:** Gameboy Advance - **Material:** Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) ## Images ![eXtremeRate IPS Ready Upgraded Chameleon Purple Blue Replacement Shell Full Housing Cover Buttons for Gameboy Advance GBA - Compatible with Both IPS & Standard LCD - Console & IPS Screen NOT Included - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81RN8fIwfzS.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review *by S***R on 24 October 2022* This is the definition of ease.

Everything is included from the screws, to the guard, case, stickers lens. Honestly I've already bought a second one to repair my childhood GBA. The instructions were provided in a video, from their website it links to youtube. One for an IPS screen upgrade and one for the basic screen. The movies are simple, no narration so make sure to follow the images on screen after you mute the music. But overall were very simple to follow along and comprehensive on every step. One suggestion would be to get some rubbing alcohol and Q-tips to clean off the button pads and speaker. They did not show this step in the how-to but it's easily found on other similar rebuild videos and 100% worth the effort. In the end the case, instructions and price are incredible. I highly suggest this kit to anyone wanting to breathe life back into their old handheld. But do keep the original parts, they do hold value for authentic systems. ## Frequently Bought Together - IPS Ready Upgraded eXtremeRate Chameleon Purple Blue Replacement Shell Full Housing Cover Buttons for Gameboy Advance GBA - Compatible with Both IPS & Standard LCD - Console & IPS Screen NOT Included - eXtremeRate Chameleon Green Purple Replacement Full Set Buttons for Gameboy Advance GBA - Handheld Game Console NOT Included - HISPEEDIDO 3.2 inch Backlight LCD Backlit V2 IPS Screen,10 Brightness Adjustable,5 IN 1 Repair Upgraded Custom Mod Kits Compatible for Game Boy Advance GBA, Need Trim the Original Shell --- ## 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.gr/products/340635893-extremerate-ips-ready-upgraded-chameleon-purple-blue-replacement-shell-full](https://www.desertcart.gr/products/340635893-extremerate-ips-ready-upgraded-chameleon-purple-blue-replacement-shell-full) --- *Product available on Desertcart Greece* *Store origin: GR* *Last updated: 2026-05-10*
