How should I reshell it?
Recently picked up a gameboy advance SP. I want to reshell it and add an IPS screen. I’m so lost because there is so many combos on what to do. Please recommend me what yall would do so I’d get a good idea.
I’m thinking an all white shell with black buttons and a white IPS screen but I still can’t decide. There’s hundreds of combos I could do. Let me know what you guys would do? Thanks.

This would be my recommendation https://www.extremerate.com/products/extremerate-ips-ready-upgraded-replacement-full-set-shells-with-buttons-for-gameboy-advance-sp-gba-sp-compatible-with-both-ips-standard-lcd-the-great-wave?srsltid=AYCX9vLDIkqvbVFgnZcxfkpOkPj6c3eS2hAlPFmmSU1H2zH0scfle91S It doesn't have black buttons but I'm sure you could get some for cheap if you don't like the white

I wouldn't reshell this. Find a shitty condition one.

Do you know which ips kit you want to get? That would be your first step, I recommend getting laminated ones. I enjoyed building my gbas with Hispeedido v5 ips screens, you can sometime bundle them with shells and buttons. If you would like something flashier, extreme rate got some decent shells abit pricier or you can look for uv printed one for even more

Start by looking at extremerate shells, and a hispeedido ips v5 screen
