The original Game Boy, the revolutionary hand-held 8-bit console released April 21, 1989, sold over 118 million consoles worldwide.

Following on from our super successful GBA shell, we spent another 8 months developing the perfect GB shell. Spending over £10,000 on new molds even now we have the process more efficient since our GBA endeavor.

This shell is produced using ABS (from Japan), as opposed to all other shells on the market being made of cheap injection molded plastics.

The fit, feel and tolerance on the RetroSix ABS shell is better than the original. The buttons are stronger with newer ABS and more accurate molds than the original, the buttons and triggers are ultra-responsive, the plastic is much stronger and free of any detects like those you get on injection-molded shells.

Our shells are drop-in IPS screens can simply drop in with no modification whatsoever!
On top of that, the battery compartment allows for a drop-in fit of the CleanJuice XL without any cutting required and includes a USB-C cover and normal cover as standard.
Once you compare our shell with all the others on the market you will never look back!
The kit comes with everything you need to fully re-shell your console:
  • Front shell
  • Back shell
  • Battery covers (normal and USB-C)
  • EXT port cover
  • Screws
  • Glass Lens (Grey)
  • Rubbers (Black)
  • Buttons (DMG Black/Maroon, and all black)

NOTE: Shell can still be used for regular Game Boy's without IPS screens. Original screens still fit perfect without any modifications.
