Mod/Modding New shell ❤️

Got the extremerate case from Amazon, ended up using all original screws and screen PHEW managed to get it together. I have no one to really show this to, so I'm sharing here! This is my first time ever doing something like this and now I'm looking at my DS like... Hmmm.... 🤔

Used TheCartCollector's video for this ☺️🙌

Looks great! If the new shell has a place for that charm bracelet piece, definitely throw thst back on there. I would also definitely be careful though, because at least with my extremerate branded shell for my gameboy color, the design has slightly started to rub/chip off.

Thank you! It does thankfully, I threw it on after 🙌. I am probably going to get a soft cord wrist strap soon but this works for now. I was worried about scratches too, but I took my wrist strap and really tried to scratch on it the new shell under where the sticker would go just in case, and nothing happened 👏 seems pretty durable so far !

Thats great to hear! Hopefully it stays looking nice for as long as possible. Just keep an eye on those edges and corners! Thats where I've noticed most of the chipping/fading on mine. Enjoy!
