GameBoy Color: Case (By eXtremeRate)
Product description:
Give your GameBoy Color a second life with the high-quality replacement housings from eXtremeRate. As part of the REVIVTRO project, this housing was specially developed to combine your classic retro console with modern technology and make restorations easier than ever before.
A common problem: Many IPS-compatible housings on the market make it difficult to install standard screens. eXtremeRate has therefore completely redesigned the shape so that this housing is perfectly suitable for both standard displays and modern IPS displays (V1 & Regular). The precise manufacturing ensures that all edges close flush and the console feels premium.
Made from durable, non-toxic ABS plastic, the housing offers excellent feel and stability. Whether you want to replace a damaged shell or start a custom modding project – with the diverse designs from eXtremeRate, you’ll make your old GBC a real eye-catcher again.
