These custom, 3D printed inserts are designed for use in transparent SP shells for Game Boy Advance. They're a great way to set your console apart and conceal the foam backing of the AGS-001 or 101 LCD. Add a vibrant flash of color to your SP or choose a monochromatic shade for a more modern look.

Shell Insert for Game Boy Advance SP

Exactly what they say they are

Fits in a standard shell and are clearly 3D printed. They flex a little, but are mostly stiff. You may need to sand a bit of the edges to get a smooth finish on it

Nice Option

I thought this was a nice alternative to looking at foam backing on the screen. I ordered the pink insert and it was opaque enough to conceal the innards. Fit perfectly into the translucent IPS shell I used for the project. I'm a fan of this little thing.

Doesn’t fit the shell properly

The insert leaves a 1/8 inch gap on one side of the shell so some of the back of the screen can still be seen…… it’s ugly and light peeks out along the edge but not as ugly as seeing the back foam without an insert.

I’ve purchased 4 of them in different colors and they all have the same issue so it isn’t just a one time flaw with one particular insert.

Amazing

This has brought new life into my gameboy advance SP, the transparent shell with the new IPS screen = straight beauty. Been playing fire emblem again and having a blast, thanks RetroModding :)
