Anyone know where I can get one of these? I've searched pretty extensively online and all I come across is the flex cable. I'm not really looking to drop $40+ on a broken system for a $.25 piece.

You'll have to buy the whole shell from what I can tell, I searched but made sure it did not include "ribbon" or "xl", and it came up empty (you can put a minus before search terms in google to do this).
Get the part and YouTube it, it's not a bad or hard repair, but I would fill it with hot glue and sand it smooth, then maybe paint it with clear nail polish to hold and protect if I couldn't order the part or do the fix myself.
That's absolutely horrendous, I am so sorry. My dog once ate both my SNES controllers. I've replaced the top screen of an O3DS XL and had to deal with the ribbon cable, so are you. Look here on Ali for the Zelda case but I doubt you'll find it because it was a limited edition from forever ago. Start here with the black one and look around a little, so will I. If I find the exact case I will post it here. Make sure to watch as many teardown videos as possible first, I wastched about 3 good ones and read a few teardown guides before I even bought the parts. Here's that link for the case.I think I may go this route and just resell it without the buttons or possibly just replace my whole shell.. Not really sure now..
Have you had success doing this before? How about with color matching? This is a 25th Anniversary Zelda one; I can deal with minor flaws, but it needs to be pretty close.
