Ownership verified by DX Great shell replacement

Involvement: General (knows how to use it) - Ownership: more than 1 month

Price: starstarstarstarstar

Usefulness: starstarstarstarstar
Overall Rating: starstarstarstarstar

Pros: Very good quality, the hinge is a bit more tight than OEM making the DS feel more solid.


Cons: great quality
no problems with it
better than most other shells
gloss almost looks like oem


Other Thoughts: This is indeed a full replacement case that has most of the little bits that are needed to move the guts of a DSL over into a new home. I was transfering a white DS into the black shell, so I used the top screen from the white DS and some other white bits to make the unit unique.


Bottomline: It bears repeating, follow instructions carefully and you should be fine.
If you're confident or like customizing your stuff, buy it.

Pros: whole packakge was in a fairly decent retail looking box

extremely cheap housing for the nintendo ds lite. everything fit perfectly well and looks almost like the original.

i had both the top screen ring and bottom screen ring in the package

came with all the screws in a neat baggings. even came with the metal plate thingy for the gba slot

Cons: Slight differences in the final look, but hey, it's not an official housing.

Other Thoughts:

Bottomline: this is a great replacement for someone with a broken hinge. Perfect project for someone as long as you are comfortable with fragile electronics and not afraid of breaking the ds lite

Ownership verified by DX no need to hesitate, this case is excellent

Pros: Based on some other reviews I thought I should offer my opinion.

Build quality looks like official product.
I hesitated based on other reviews but because of the low price I thought I would risk it. Quality is not an issue.

I needed a replacement as part of my original cracked. I was able to mix and match between my old pieces and this new one for a truly custom housing :)
Screw holes were a bit tight but ultimately worked.

No instructions are provided but that's not a concern as documentation is readily available on line:

I'm no expert, took me 3 hours since I did not replace ribbon correctly and had to take it apart a few times :P

Product and price are excellent, with patience you will not be disappointed.

Cons: minor issues, screw holes very tight, instructions would be nice.
neither of these should deter anyone.

Other Thoughts:

Bottomline: you certainly can't go wrong for $20 and no shipping for this product.

Ownership verified by DX Awesome Case!!

Pros: I am extremely pleased with this purchase, I bought this because the infamous cracked hinge developed on my son's DS and when I received it I realized this is an OEM case buttons and all so the replacement was flawless no difference then the stock casing.

Cons: I have absolutely no complaints with this case.

Other Thoughts: I wish other manufacturers of DS casing's would build the casing's exactly like this one for a variety of colors that would be nice.

Bottomline: If you have problems with the casing on your DS buy this casing you will NOT be disappointed.
