Game Boy Color Machined Aluminum Shell 2.0 - Full Set
Tax excluded. Shipping calculated at checkout
We’re transitioning to our new GBC 3.0 housings. While very similar to the 2.0 version, the 3.0 design uses an updated charge board and a redesigned 3D-printed mount. Because of this change, the new charge board is not compatible with the 2.0 housing.
Once current inventory is sold out, only the 3.0 housings will be available moving forward.

Warnings and Considerations
- Touch sensors can be tricky to tricky at times. If you're having trouble, consider using conductive copper tape or drilling hole in IR plastic at top. Put a screw thru the hole, install a metal fastener, and solder a wire to the inside of the fastener. This will isolate the touch sensor from the metal
- Additional Game Boy Color parts required for a complete custom build:
- Original Game Boy Color
- Backlit screen (depending on shell version)
- 28-30 AWG wire
- Kapton tape (recommended)

Notes
These parts are not mass produced and we use multiple machine shops, so surface finish, texture, and color may vary between batches. Colors may also look different depending on your screen, the lighting, and variations in anodizing.
Please be sure to review our refund policy for cancelled and returned orders.
We cannot change the value of the shipment and sadly we do not have control over your particular country's fee/tariffs/taxes.
Brass parts come as machined and may show oxidation/discolor (due to being exposed to air) and some small machining or small scratches may be present. Assume you will need to do your final surface finishing using a flexible 3M sanding pad. (The 3M 7448 usually works well). After polishing, clean and apply clearcoat, poly, or other coating to maintain the shine. Note Brass is also very dense (heavy) and conductive. Consider in some applications, these attributes may have adverse effects. (ex. The SP hinges will not support the screen as well). If used with electronics, it is advisable to use kapton tape, insulating paint, (nail polish may work) to prevent electrical shorts.
