Pros: > Metallic red paint looks really, really cool.
> Cheap.
> Fun project.

Cons: > The plastic itself is not metallic red, just black plastic painted that way, so it might scratch or chip off.
> Not quite as strong as the original DS case
> Wasn't quite the right size, but fit well after cutting a little bit of excess plastic away.
> No instructions included (videos online are better than paper instructions could be anyway)

Other Thoughts: > Requires some skill to replace the case!

Bottomline: Bottom line, if you have no experience with electronics you might want to reconsider. HOWEVER, there are step-by-step videos online to help you USE THEM! Take your time, do it step by step, be careful and you'll be fine.
I had a lot of fun undertaking this project!

Pros: Came well-packaged, but in a generic box. Colour was vibrant - exactly what I was looking for. All of the parts were intact and bagged together for ease of use. My 13 year-old daughter was very excited...

Cons: Poor paint job - Obviously a black case to start with, that went through a spray-booth. Masking tape holding certain parts together were still on the case when it arrived. Scratches very easily. The red paint job is good (only a few 'drips' on unsuspecting areas), but not anywhere near the quality of what I was expecting.

Other Thoughts: TYake your time on this project...It took me about three hours to successfully change the housing. I don't know where I found the patience. I know I will probably do another one (my other daughter's) and I bet I will complete that one in under 45 minutes. Check out u-tube for instructional videos - but remember no-one can do in in 5 minutes

Bottomline: Wish the paint job was better - will purchase another, but I'll be looking for the quality of an actual 'Nintendo' product instead. This red case won't be in great shape for long.....

Pros: The case looks good, like an orginal DS
Relatively easy to install, I've never changed a DS case before or any other case and it took me about an hour. All you need to do is search google for instructions or co on you tube. There are instruction for shock! cases about on the internet.
The price is very good comapre to the UK price.
All you need is patients and a steady hand.

Cons: Case doesn't meet in certain places which I can put up with.
The replacement screw covers are white, I just prefer black, I was careful and used my covers from my old black ds case.

Other Thoughts:

Bottomline: Fixed my DS lite without the expence and hassle of having to send it back to nintendo. My top cover would not stay open, the hinge had broken and now have a working case again and everyone thinks I have a new DS!

Pros: My kid broke down his NDS Housing case, and I bought this for him. It´s color is awesome, it changes from red to black in function of the light.
Include all the parts to change completely your videogame.

Cons: For non expert users it should be complicated to repace the housing.
It should include a trigram screwdriver. Don't forget to buy one or you can't change your housing case.

Other Thoughts: It's very difficult to remove all the mechanism and install it inside de new case.

Bottomline: Don't forget the trigram screwdriver. It's a very good product for it´s price.
