Best Vendor for High Quality Shell?

Post by nicesocks » Sun Jun 10, 2018 6:42 pm

My friends and I bought shells for our build off of Aliexpress. For the most part the shells we got were of decent enough quality, but I bought a grey shell and the colour match to the original DMG grey is way off. It just looks dirty and doesn't replicate what I was going for.

My friend chose a black case and it looks decent (hard to mess up black), but the screen printing of the "Game Boy" text etc is a bit blury.

I'm going for a PAL SNES theme and so I wanted to do grey with the green/red/yellow buttons. Can anyone recommend a place to get a good quality grey case?


If I can't source a good grey colour case I may just go with white, but I'm not sure how good that'll look.

Thanks

Retromodding.com has some good stuff. I’ve not used thier buttons but I’ve used a case from them and it seems pretty nice quality.

Here’s a link to the SNES button set.

The light grey case would probably match pretty well.

They don’t have a pic of it on their website but they have a lot of Instagram pics.

May not be exact but I hope this helps.

Thanks, I grabbed their Light Grey. I already had buttons.
