He said “respectfully” then dropped that hot potato and screws became astronauts.

As soon as he said “take apart the GBA SP” I knew I wouldn’t be able to do this

[SLDNW]

I do like the slim form factor. If you're stepping away from the original casing for a new look then it definitely needs to carry its own weight. The box one is too reminiscent of the original form for me.

As someone who has built both i like the slate more even though i have big hands. The screen seems larger and you can use either plastic or metal buttons.

Slate GBA looks awesome and screen upgrade is the icing on the cake 🎂, , more with this please 😸👍

[atmzed]

[RxCGaming]

Straight up just PULLS THE FUCKN RIBBON CABLE 😂😂😂

[whitedenim]

Definitely the slate the slate is around the right size.

[Clover_]

They both look awesome but if I had to choose one, I would definitely pick up the slate

[olliepoplol]

Slate is nice! The tiny form factor looks really cool and unique

[jayhassan]

Definitely prefer the thicker boxy ones

[Gamesnake]

The aggressive shoving of the cable made my soul shudder

[JoJoGaminG]

I don't know why you would want a bulky Gameboy Advanced, I still have mine from back then and absolutely love that it is flippable.

[kooper]

Loving the way the red one looks in the new red shell

[Nohiro.D]

"respectfully" proceed to slam the gameboy to get the screws out.

[Onio_Saiyan]

I’m so tired. When you said unhinged SP my brain thought of just an angry SP with a knife. Carry on.

[barrett]

Brown fingers, smooth white sound, love it

"Hey, Do you know the convenience and compactness of having a foldable case? Let's throw it in the toilet for an aluminum one"

[BenWard]

I know "everyone's a critic" but I'm definitely not a fan of just cramming in excess wires during a build. I suggest clipping those flying lead wires for the brightness control a bit shorter (with a little bit of slack) then doing a bit of managing for their routing. Also, a little bit of flux before the heat and some isopropyl and a toothbrush after soldering the new switch in will remove that flux residue so it doesn't cause issues down the road. But hey, you do you. I'm just really into preservation- trying to think of the owners years down the road.
