I think it feels even better than original. Soft smooth finish 😌

Ngl I like abxy buttons more on the original but these ones are also quite alright 👍

PS I didn't do the replacement myself 😅

Looks nice!

Looks sick. But also if white was the default and someone had a black shell id swap to black for sure haha.

Was replacing the shell hard?

Front shell swap is supposedly a bitch because you have to do the heatgun or blowdryer thing to loosen your screen adhesive while also avoiding melting other parts of the Deck.

Dang. Too bad I had to replace my screen before any of these shells were out.

The back shell is easy, the front shell takes multiple hours.

Looking good. I've always avoided buying white since it shows dirt easier.

I promised myself that once it starts to degrade I will paint some bright colours on it. And once those degrade, I'll probably change the shell

We live just once, don't forget to enjoy it 😉

Washing your hands regularly avoids griming up your gear. Still have my original 1995 Nintendo Game Boy looking impeccable.
