Hacking SHOCK! shells for DS lite

[_Chaz_]

I want to replace the shell on my DS lite, and was intrigued by these cases. They look great, and have a matte finish (something that really draws my attention).

Before I make up my mind and purchase one, I wanted to know if anyone here has bought, or used one and if they have any feedback (durability, comfort, reliability, ect.).

I have brought one. Very good cases. Strong and reliable.

Sounds good enough for me, I'm getting one.

Thanks for your help!

Also, the good thing about them is that there is no sanding of edges or anything like that required to make all the pieces fit. In other shells, such steps need to be taken.

I would actually recommend the Dealextreme ones since they pretty much exactly the same as the real DS Lite housing. You should read this topic for more details: http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showtopic=81293

Could any of those parts be replaced? I really have my heart set on a matte finish case.

I had a horrible experience with them. I got mine early on. My experience was the paint they used was rubbing off, felt super cheap, and the screen angle was way off. I'd rather go with the OEM looking ones instead, DX has em and I think a few other retailers have em. I'm not sure if their quality is any better, but I'd rather not deal with them again. There CS forum was horrible, and they delayed some anticipated products. I think they banned anyone on their forum for complaining.
