## Description

desertcart.com: OSTENT Full Repair Parts Replacement Housing Shell Case Kit for Nintendo DS Lite NDSL Color White : Video Games

Review: Gorgeous blue color. Good quality, will buy again. - The blue is ever so slightly lighter in color than the OEM cobalt blue but trust me when I say this. That's an absolute plus. Even pictures can't do this metallic blue justice. It's so gorgeous it just needs to be beheld by the naked eye. The glossy finish on the top outer frame is a fingerprint magnet, but that's on par with the OEM shell. The rest of the frame is a matte black which looks very close to stock. The assembly experience is very good. There are some minor differences in cutouts and insignificant differences in the markings on the inside of the shell but these are invisible once you have the console assembled. I have two minor complaints and that is the battery door should have the screw and c-clip pre-installed and the slit for the top display ribbon cable could be a little bit wider - it's a tighter fit than the OEM shell. There is some extra flashing on some of the buttons which can cause an issue with fitment and actuation if you don't trim it off. This is my second shell from Ostent and I've been pleased with the quality so far.
Review: It’s decent for the price - Overall I’m pretty happy with this shell considering the price point, but I do have some small gripes with it The overall appearance and reassembly was pretty nice, the shell although flimsy when in pieces, actually holds up decently well once it’s all put together. I also think the color, although the wrong color, is really lovely and goes well with the black buttons I reused, I also appreciate that they used the same screw size and in total, there was only 2 lengths, which made it far easier to screw it all together, it’s a decent shell if you want to do your first reshell, but I do have gripes with it The fit wasn’t perfect, and the top lid is slightly curved from the top half being a little too small, the screws, although nice that they use only two lengths, were a little too soft and the head of the screw would break if you try to tighten them down too much, it’s very squeaky, but it can be easily fixed if you apply a bit of lubricant, the buttons and triggers were so badly made that I had to reuse the old buttons and triggers, I would recommend that if you go with this shell, I do worry that the paint will scratch off, as it’s painted on rather than being made out of a colored plastic, the scratch resistance may not be great. The screw covers especially on the top are super off color, that it honestly makes it look so much cheaper Overall it’s a functional shell that although a little cheap feeling, gets the job done. I think it’s perfect if you want to learn how to do a reshell and if you want a stock color, which ExtremeRate doesn’t offer sadly. If I had to provide advice, keep a hold of your old shell, get a color that matches your old shell or stick with the ones that are all black or white or with a black accent, as the colored screw covers are not very accurate to the shell, I also recommend transferring over the metal plate that’s near the GBA slot and the stylus holder, as the stock one is a little too tight and can scratch up the stylus. If you want a quick cheap way to do a reshell than this might be good enough for you, but for someone else of if you want a shell that’s more durable and less likely to scratch, go for a ExtremeRate shell

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Gorgeous blue color. Good quality, will buy again.

### ⭐ Missing pieces
*by R***A on May 19, 2025*

Not all the pieces are there, the pieces don’t even fit and it’s missing so many key components. Not worth it. It feels cheap and doesn’t even work. I had to use old pieces from the old shell to even make my ds functional again.
