Aftermarket Game Boy Micro Shell

I got one of the relatively new Game Boy Micro aftermarket housings and I thought I'd give the things another chance at a review in case the manufacturer had made any improvements with the newer colors. As it turns out, no, they haven't. 

My original shell review (warning, old video that is rambly and has really poor lighting): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7M5qba6B0Iw

I still don't recommend these if all you want is a fresh skin for your Micro. They are noticeably lower quality and the finish is not great. If your original skin is not salvageable, then this will work but it might be worthwhile to pound out any dents in the aluminum skin, sand out any scratches, and then just paint it instead. 

If you want to get one of these, retrogamerepairshop is currently stocking them (among other vendors): https://retrogamerepairshop.com/collections/game-boy-micro/products/game-boy-micro-replacement-housing
