What customers say
Reviewers highly praise the Glacier Blue shell for its vibrant, nostalgic aesthetic and premium matte finish, noting it resists fingerprints better than the original housing. The quality of the plastic feels superior, matching or exceeding factory standards. While the resulting custom console is considered a triumph, the installation is extremely technical. Many users found the process frustrating due to the numerous tiny screws and the delicate transfer of internal components. Success requires patience and reliance on video guides, as printed instructions are inadequate. For experienced hobbyists who complete the challenging upgrade, the perceived value is high, especially with the included screen protector and extra buttons.
