Replacement Housing Shell Compatible for Nintendo DS Lite NDSL

The blue is ever so slightly lighter in color than the OEM cobalt blue but trust me when I say this. That's an absolute plus. Even pictures can't do this metallic blue justice. It's so gorgeous it just needs to be beheld by the naked eye. The glossy finish on the top outer frame is a fingerprint magnet, but that's on par with the OEM shell. The rest of the frame is a matte black which looks very close to stock. The assembly experience is very good. There are some minor differences in cutouts and insignificant differences in the markings on the inside of the shell but these are invisible once you have the console assembled. I have two minor complaints and that is the battery door should have the screw and c-clip pre-installed and the slit for the top display ribbon cable could be a little bit wider - it's a tighter fit than the OEM shell. There is some extra flashing on some of the buttons which can cause an issue with fitment and actuation if you don't trim it off. This is my second shell from Ostent and I've been pleased with the quality so far.

Overall I’m pretty happy with this shell considering the price point, but I do have some small gripes with it The overall appearance and reassembly was pretty nice, the shell although flimsy when in pieces, actually holds up decently well once it’s all put together. I also think the color, although the wrong color, is really lovely and goes well with the black buttons I reused, I also appreciate that they used the same screw size and in total, there was only 2 lengths, which made it far easier to screw it all together, it’s a decent shell if you want to do your first reshell, but I do have gripes with it The fit wasn’t perfect, and the top lid is slightly curved from the top half being a little too small, the screws, although nice that they use only two lengths, were a little too soft and the head of the screw would break if you try to tighten them down too much, it’s very squeaky, but it can be easily fixed if you apply a bit of lubricant, the buttons and triggers were so badly made that I had to reuse the old buttons and triggers, I would recommend that if you go with this shell, I do worry that the paint will scratch off, as it’s painted on rather than being made out of a colored plastic, the scratch resistance may not be great. The screw covers especially on the top are super off color, that it honestly makes it look so much cheaper Overall it’s a functional shell that although a little cheap feeling, gets the job done. I think it’s perfect if you want to learn how to do a reshell and if you want a stock color, which ExtremeRate doesn’t offer sadly. If I had to provide advice, keep a hold of your old shell, get a color that matches your old shell or stick with the ones that are all black or white or with a black accent, as the colored screw covers are not very accurate to the shell, I also recommend transferring over the metal plate that’s near the GBA slot and the stylus holder, as the stock one is a little too tight and can scratch up the stylus. If you want a quick cheap way to do a reshell than this might be good enough for you, but for someone else of if you want a shell that’s more durable and less likely to scratch, go for a ExtremeRate shell

Not all the pieces are there, the pieces don’t even fit and it’s missing so many key components. Not worth it. It feels cheap and doesn’t even work. I had to use old pieces from the old shell to even make my ds functional again.

I purchased this replacement shell to make a NDSL unique and look better. I have ordered a couple other cases from other companies and the quality of the material and fitment is subpar. This case arrived in a similar white cardboard sleeve. Upon opening, the case is moch assembled and wrapped in plastic. I dumped out the hardware and inspected the shells, as the others where pretty messy on the insides, with many sharp edges, blistering, and just overall poor quality. This case looked fairly clean. I began my assembly of the already-disassembled NDSL I had. I noticed that the top screen inside plate was fairly clean, but, fit the components pretty loosely. I decided to check the fit of the motherboard and bottom screen and found the same thing. I decided to use only the outer shells as the insides were too loose for fitment. Overall, the case is better than the others I have ordered, but, I was missing some hardware as well, like the small metal bolt that hold down the battery compartment screw, a couple of the motherboard screws were different sizes and colors. Better than the beat up case it came in, and somewhat better than the other cheap ones

Good quality. Mostly inclusive; doesn't include any tools, but I was fine with that. Does include extra Philips screws, if you want to replace the tri-wing screws.

Be careful removing the upper screen.

the color is so perfect, the material is a great texture, it came with all the little parts and pieces that i need. it even shipped on time as promised. my problem with this shell is that it doesn't really function. it was almost impossible to fit the hinge into the hole it's supposed to go into before carving out the hole myself. the slit that the ribbon cable needs to be pushed through wasn't even a slit at all, it was plastic that i had to cut myself. multiple screw holes were completely filled in, so i couldn't even screw some of the pieces together. seems like it was just made carelessly. like i said, i really wanted to like this product. i wanted to like it about 4 hours worth of sweat and tears put into this but i don't know if i can even force it to work. so sadly, two stars and no ds lite tonight. my first time changing out a shell and it was just a bummer that it couldn't work out in the end. :(

Good product, there needs to be some sort of anti-static material behind the screen. mine did not come with this and I blew the l1 fuse on the motherboard. otherwise very good product!!

Pek kaliteli değil, ayrıca yurt dışından geliyor. Gümrüğe takıldığında Amazon’un hiç yardımcı olmadığı da düşünülürse riske gitmeye değmez. Aliekspressten alın en azından para iadesi alırsınız.

did not have time to fix my nintendo ds but evry thing look good

Encaja bien, pero no es totalmente opaco. Se ven los altavoces bajo luz directa

Really poorly made case. Shoulder buttons does not work when the case is fully assembled. Don't waste your money and time on this.

Product definitely does what it's supposed to, and comes with the hinges, screws, and (most of) the screw hole covers. It was missing 2 rubber screw hole cover nubs, which was a tad disappointing, but if you're buying it for yourself, and not to resell, it gets the job done very well. A bit rougher-feeling that the original NDSl casing, but I actually prefer it. Less slippy, more grippy.
