RetroSix has discontinued many individual parts. Once these items sell out, there will only be shell kits that include a shell, buttons, membranes, USB-C battery door and a lens.
Behold the holy grail of Game Boy Advance Shells from our partner RetroSix.
The fit, feel and tolerance on the RetroSix ABS shell is better than the original. The buttons are stronger with newer ABS and more accurate molds than the original, the buttons and triggers are ultra-responsive, the plastic is much stronger and free of any detects like those you get on injection-molded shells.
This listing is for a shell and battery cover. Buttons and Lens sold separately.
These shells will no longer have the "For Nintendo" logo. We have a separate listing for the shells that still have

NOTES:
- We recommend only pairing these shells with RetroSix button sets. Triggers from any other company may have fitment issues with shell.
- Prestige shells may need some trimming near the start/select area inside shell.
- Shell can still be used for regular GBAs without IPS screens. Just purchase regular sized screen and be aware of having to position/secure the original screen down centered in view due to the opening being larger than normal.
- Not recommended/compatible with Laminated LCD kits.
- Clear variants will be more frosted than crystal clear. We have Crystal Clear shells
- The shells feature self-threading screws as the screw posts are not pre-threaded. To avoid damage, do not over-tighten, as this may cause cracks. Refunds are not given in these instances.

PEARL SHELLS CLEANING:
- Use of Isopropyl Alcohol on these shells will cause the finish to wear away.
- To clean the Pearl shells use a clean white microfiber cloth and mild solvent of your choice. When using a colored microfiber cloth, the solvent can dissolve the dye and stain your shell.
