    Meh molding but okay color choice

    I've ordered 3 of these over the years and they all leave me with the same feeling. The lack of Nintendo branding sucks (I know it's a TM issue) that can be resolved via stickers but what sucks more are the molding issues. Weak screw posts where they connect to the main shell body often leads to cracking regardless of screw type used. This is especially true on clear variants. Molding issues near the speaker grills. Clear black is so opaque it may as well not even be clear... honestly, retro six has the best shell mold out there but their color choice is lacking which is how I ended up here. So yeah, ymmv

    High-quality casing

    I bought the pink case for my project to recreate the ultra-rare "Game Boy Pink with Heart logo" and was amazed by the quality of its finish and feel.
    Shipping and duties to Spain were expensive, but it's a hard-to-find case and very attractive.
    I will definitely buy from Retro Modding again!
