Title says it all. What is the best replacment shell for GBA SP? I've tried one or two chinese shells before and the quality is very poor with buttons being almost concave the shell itself being slightly warped, hinge holes being nowhere near round and the actual hinges being very bad as well as the start and select fonts being wrong. You get the idea. However some websites claim to have "high qualty shells" implying these shells don't have such issues but I don't know if these claims are true or they're all the same chinese shite off the same production line. So with that being said can anyone reccommend a high quailty faithful shell?

I imagine most (if not all) new aftermarket shells come from the same factories, so I think just about any shell you'd find on eBay would be the same quality, more or less. I've bought a few different shells and I have no complaints.

    I hate ordering stuff online if I can go buy it somewhere close to me, and everywhere anymore will give you a discount only if you order it online, bs. Should be a discount if I go pick it up, not order online.

    I love it for most things most stores you just shows the receipt online and they scan it

    Makes it easy for incompetent restaurant staff that don't know how to hear an order
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Mostly for big purchases, I want it in my hands before I pay. Like a tv, I trust picking it up myself, before I'd trust it being sent thru mail/delivery. (Broken screen, etc) But yea if I can order online, then pickup at store is ok, but not all places offer that.

    Thing is, if you break it driving back to your house, it's your fault. But if the delivery driver damages it, it's not your fault.

    Most people that haul big tvs have empty trucks or know enough not to set it face down
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Then I gotta send it back and wait another week or two. I have a pickup truck, with a extended cab, so no prob for me.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Most manufacturers pack it well enough where they aren't that dumb to let it happen

    Kinda cool, I can buy a second Xbox for guests, and download all my purchased digital games to it, and play on both xboxs same time. Didn't know they allowed that. 2 xboxs per Xbox account.
