Pros: It cheap
Very nice colour
You get almost everything what you need to assemble - it have even sticky rubber between display and touch screen, also it came with green frame to display.
Cons: Colour is on some pieces slightly different, but you notice only from close wiew.
Holes for screws are without thread but its no big deal.
Other Thoughts: Its not so hard to assemble if you know how to disassemble original :-D but it takes few hours to get it working correctly. You should get new touch screen from dealextreme too, when you open ds to change shell ,its easy to change it and then your ds will looks like new.
Bottomline: Its very nice shell and pretty cheap too, but iam not sure if its worthy to change it just for different colour but if your shell is broken or scratched ,this is right choice.
AWESOME!

Pros: Works great. Fits pretty well, and looks just like nintendo official - these colors of nintendo DS lites sell on ebay for 200 dollars or so, I should recase and sell!
Really nice color, too. Definitely not a lime color, more of an apple.
Cons: Hard to install - make sure you know what you're doing!
Other Thoughts: Be careful. Go slow. The DS has lots of small, sensitive parts. Be especially careful with your ribbon cables and power switch - order extra switches here on DX, they're cheap and they work really well, and they break often, for me.
Bottomline: Get it if it's the color you're looking for!
Nice Case

Pros: The color was just what I was looking for. Everything fit together pretty good, all the mounting holes lined up and all of the seams matched together very well.
Cons: The plastic has a bit cheaper feel than the original case. Also the charging light also shines through the plastic around the light. The slot 2 was a bit tight as was the volume control.
This does not come with an assembly guide however, there are plenty of places on the net where detailed guides can be found.
Other Thoughts: Mt biggest problem with the assembly of the case was the Left and Right buttons. I didn't notice initially that there is a left spring and a right spring. If you mix them up, it's impossible to put the case together without them coming undone.
Make sure you get the triwing screwdriver as it is necessary to take apart the original case.
Bottomline: This is a good case if you are wanting an original color and have good technical abilities.

Pros: This one of the cheapest green housing you can find on line.And it is really look close to the original casing.
Cons: There is some tight spot,need some filing to make it smooth.Not really a prefect fit for your NDS.Denfinitely not for the those with weak heart.Learnt and recite every steps before attempt to take apart your NDS.
Other Thoughts: 500 words limitation.500 words limitation.500 words limitation.500 words limitation.500 words limitation.500 words limitation.500 words limitation.500 words limitation.500 words limitation.500 words limitation.500 words limitation.500 words limitation.500 words limitation.
Bottomline: Don'te ever attempt to change the housing with proper tools and skill set needed.You might risk of a bricked NDS.
