Review on ๐ŸŽฎ OSTENT Nintendo DS Lite NDSL Full Replacement Housing Shell Case Kit - Color: Black by Leonard Herrera

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Incorrect dimensions, cannot be fully assembled

This was very disappointing. While the case looks good on the outside, there are numerous measurement issues, including two so severe that I had to redesign the case to make the power button fit (actually, I gave up and didn't even include it because it didn't work). ). close) the part you want the switch to slide into doesn't let it slide at all, not even a little. Even after modifying it with a soldering iron I couldn't get it to work. Worst? buttons at the shoulders. God, I've been trying to figure out why the right side won't close for four hours. The metal rods that go through the springs are thinner than normal so they keep falling out, but then I realized that the hole on the back of the case where the rod needs to go isn't big enough for the circuit board allows to sit flush as it should. Again, the soldering iron somehow got in, but long story short, without melting the plastic at the bottom of the hole (and destroying the finish on the outside because it seeped through to the other side, lol), it didn't quite close ! All this plus the buttons are even looser than the regular Lite. For now I'll just shell out a GBA, mod it and upgrade my 2DS to a new 3DS Xl lol. The screen replacement I received for the top screen turned out at least decent, but it's not fully assembled at this time. I need my money back or something but I don't want to deal with a refund. I know who else you should get Shell, DS/Lite etc from that don't like GBA and have modified or worked hard maybe a GBA macro or something. Much luck.

Pros
  • Nintendo DS
Cons
  • Obsolete model
