Hardware 2DS replacement shells?

[huckleberrypie]

Does anyone know of a place where I could buy a replacement 2DS housing? Most of the venues I looked at (eBay, Lazada, etc.) either don't have them or I end up with a rather paltry selection to choose from.

Various o2DS replacement parts.

• [eBay - wiigotem] Nintendo 2DS Parts

Battery Cover

• [store.nintendo.com] Battery Cover Kit (Nintendo 2DS)

Buttons

• [eBay] ORIGINAL NINTENDO 2DS BUTTON SET OF BLUE
• [eBay] ORIGINAL RED NINTENDO 2DS BUTTON SET
• [eBay] ORIGINAL NINTENDO 2DS BUTTON SET OF BLACK

Accent trim pieces

• [eBay] OEM ORIGINAL NINTENDO 2DS REPAIR PART FULL SIDE HOUSING BLUE PART L & R BUTTON
• [eBay] OEM ORIGINAL NINTENDO 2DS REPAIR PART FULL SIDE HOUSING RED PART L & R BUTTON

Shell housing

• [eBay] ORIGINAL NINTENDO 2DS REPAIR PART FULL SHELL HOUSING REPLACEMENT 2DS RED SHELL
• [eBay] Original Nintendo 2DS White Pink Shell Housing Replacement Front And Back

You would think there would be more color options for the shell housings since the o2DS was sold in large numbers, but they're nonexistent on aliexpress.

Yeah, I was a little surprised that there's next to no aftermarket shells for the 2ds. I mean sure, there's this legal issue with Ninty and all, but still...

Interesting. I'm exactly on the same boat. lol Unfortunately I'm from the philippines and my only way to buy these things is aliexpress. Most ebay sellers from the west even other asian countries have limited shipping options and whenever they do have that option, the shipping is super expensive.

Legal issues over pieces of plastic....?
No, they just don't exist. The hardware modding community compared to the DS is paltry.

Or the Vita and PSP for that matter.

I'd like a nice shell for my 2DS as well. The stock red/black looks like crap. I remember seeing people paying crazy prices--like double--for a clear red 2DS.

I wonder if the quality will be crap like with GB, GBC, GBA shells. I've bought 3 of them and they all have problems with the buttons and d-pad. I've tried the round paper shim trick to make the d-pad firmer, but I can't find the right thickness: it is either thumb-breakingly tight or too loose.

In the end, I gave up on aftermarket shells. I hosed the boogers, throwup, and other residues left behind by slob kids off my original shells and just use originals.

Can we do a GoFundMe for the costs of the molds? and Can we make the 2DS Shell mods possible?
