  1. I wish there were like amazing n3ds xl shell swap parts. But I am way too bad at disassembling to swap my shell, so vinyl decals are all I can do lol.

  2. Has anyone had any luck finding shells for 3ds XL (the original model, not the "new" one). I ordered a shell off of Ali-Express, and the plastic was awful, and I need to re-shell it again.

  3. hey i had a question about the ps5 controller… I don't think I have stick drift the problem I have is I barley tap the right stick like the stick doesn't even move and then my character starts slowly looking what ever direction I'm barley taping the stick what what should I do????

  4. I’ve done the Pokédex and several transparent shells from Extremerate they’ve all been very high quality. I’ve also gotten a few of those “special edition” replica shells off eBay and every one of them are made from such cheap ugly plastic I had to undo them and switch to Extremerate’s shells. Any suggestions where to get better quality replica shells for the special edition DS lites?

  5. I did this shell swap a few months ago the ago as well as the GBA SP Pokédex shell as well. Absolutely love it! I keep it stored away cause I want to display it one day as an almost art piece. Highly recommended.

  6. Why is it always the DS lite? I never hear a single thing about shells for DSphat or DSi or DSi XL, ONLY the DS Lite (which is my leave favorite version).

  7. Wonder why there’s not great support for the DS lite as it’s such a popular console… maybe because it’s usually pretty hard to work on. Great video as always! Does that company have any other kinds of shells like solid color?

  8. Does anyone know who makes a good shell for the OG DS? I would love to restore my good ol Phat. I have a 3DS and DSI XL, but none beat the ergonomics and the glorious DPad of the Phat. A brighter screen mod would be insane too, like all those GBC/A mods have.

  9. Belated happy birthday wishes! ^^
    The shell looks great, and if the quality is nice, I might actually be tempted to do another DS Lite shell swap. The FC Classic one looks interesting as well as the scarlet red one, which I already used for a pair of joy-cons and they feel awesome.
    Otherwise it has been exactly as you say, up to this point. Taking a DS apart and putting it back together in a new shell is kind of a pain in the butt, only to be a little disappointed by the haptics of the console when everything is done.
    Anyway, thank you for the video!

  10. Just got this exact ds lite shell a couple of weeks ago and its awesome, but be warned the ds lite is a bitch and a half when it comes to switching the shells. The components are very small and when I got it all back together the bottom screen ended up cracked. I ordered a replacement screen and got it installed only for it to not turn on at all now.

  11. i did 4 shell swaps by now using extremrate shells. i would suggest everyone thinking about trying this for the first time please prepar yourself mentally that its very likely for you to break your top screen. really take your time. dont be to harsh to the ribbon cable when you roll it.
    if when youre connecting your new touchscreen inside the little ribbon connector make sure to not push the cable into too far. if you push it too far the little clip will come off and you have no chance of getting it back on
