Front view in all her glory. It irks me no end that the AB buttons and joystick are different shades.
The screen protector came with tape for a stock GB so I had to get creative with hot glue to attach it. I applied the glue generously around the bezel and then heated the whole area over a stove element to melt all of the glue at once. The glass was then dropped in place and the glue allowed to set. Then using a very sharp scalpel blade I trimmed the glue both front and back.

Inside the battery bay. Largely unmodified except for removing a small tab near the top middle to allow room for the battery connector. The battery is an extended S2 battery labeled 3800mAh that I removed the label and plastic ends from before soldering a JST PH lead to the protection circuit and covering with some large heat shrink.
