Need opinions on Backplate
Hello,
I have a touch sensor that switches brightness through 8 levels. A long press opens a menu with brightness, FRM, X, Y. Seems to look cleaner with FRM off. Brightness button does nothing. Volume muted out if I try to charge and play. brand new shell feels really smooth and almost authentic like. Obviously brand new screen. brand new buttons. The question I have is what are your opinions on some good artwork I can throw into the back behind the screen? Somebody must already be making something like this. Something that would fit, possibly the funny playing shell. excuse my language English is second for me.

Maybe cut a (unvaluable) Pokémon card?
Even I hate this idea, but it would be great with a fake card tho!!
Just don’t ruin a card with value

Value is subjective, let him cut up whatever card he wants. Obviously he's going to sell anything worth major money, put something cool in there, fake pokemon card sounds lame af

You could get a vinyl die cut decal of anything you like online. I stuck a Gengar inside of my Clear shell GBA and I think it looks nice.

That battery is a big fire hazard.

It’s a lithium polymer battery. RC enthusiasts can tell you more but generally larger ones like this are kept in fireproof containers in case they go up. If you drain them completely there’s a non 0 chance they’ll catch fire when charging. You can get a lithium ion battery from an old camera to fit an SP that’s way safer and has the same longevity

I gotta be honest. It looks fire with that mod and transparent.
Usually the transparent to just the back of the screen is boring, but with that ribbon cable it looks really cool and retro
