What color? I bought an aftermarket case once, it was cheap as hell, and the screws almost came through the bottom half...it looks horrible. It was only $4.00 at the time. Let me know where to pick up a good quality one...then I have the fun of popping out that top hinge piece again.
Mine is Silver, i brought with a case accessory? meh, anyway
I'm from México, most gameboys i brought are from a tianguis.
Wew, and this is the case

So i put that because the case is too scratched, that helps to hide that scratches :P
EDIT: price was $200 pesos for this, had some issues, but i repaired it :P
also screen protector is new

Yup, homemade! I had a badly damaged 101 SP, with a good screen, so I ordered a 32 pin ribbon cable (it was the model for my GBA) and clipped it to the new screen. Just had to snip a bit of plastic in the case to make it fit, and voilà! Works wonderfully.

Here's a couple shots of my Afterburner from back in the day, maybe I can scrap it and install a 101 i there.

Top is 3rd party while bottom is OEM

Yeah here is a pic of my crappy replacement case, even the paint is coming off on the top. You can see where the screws almost pop through the bottom...plus the texture is all wrong, feels tacky.

I'd love an everdrive at some point, but for the price you can't beat a EZflash IV. I have had mine for years, and it's great. The setup definitely shows its age, but it is still my default GBA cart.

I have a couple of EZflash IVs and a ton of other GBA carts, but still want an Everdrive for its simplicity.

I'm about to be starting Final Fantasy II from the Dawn of Souls port ^_^ I had a lot of fun with Final Fantasy I a year or so ago, time to get back to the GBA!

(though I play Metroid Fusion a lot normally)
