The Most ADVANCED Metal Shell For The GBA SP

GBA SP Metal Shell WITH The Hinge! | Boxy Pixel “Hinged” SP | Install Tutorial + Review

Boxy Pixel is about to release their latest machined aluminum shell for the Game Boy Advance SP. It’s called the “Hinged” SP shell which essentially is a conventional flip open design just like the original SP but of course in typical Boxy Pixel fashion it's made of beautiful anodized aluminum. Let’s take a look!

This is one of the very few channels that I never skip the intro montage. Excellent work.

[kazinwho]

I agree about the hinge covers. And yeah... if he ever made a DS lite metal shell, I would be all over that haha

[NegativeLegend]

The SP is my favorite portable console. I'm so glad Boxy Pixel is working on a metal one.

[MrDeelightful]

That light pink is really sick. When you were putting the battery door on I really noticed how tight the tolerances are, too. It looks like a super-expensive flip phone when it's closed, and the hinge system looks less onerous than some of the SP flip cases you've done. The matte/sandblasted finish really tops it off imo. Great video as always!

[briangilmartin]

Very cool shell design! I can't wait to see what the final product looks like. I'm also digging the color options, especially the red one!

[UltraSteelix]

I got the prototype but I feel the real final design will make it look much better. They nailed the bottom half of the shell but I feel the top shell is still in need of serious improvement.

I love that thing so much. I recently ordered all Boxy Pixel Shells that i didnt own to make my collection complete. The only one thats missing now is the hinged SP. I m so excited about it and i definitively need to add this one day to finish my whole Boxy Pixel collection.

Great Video Tito, i love your Videos.

[TheShoe]

Man, I never thought a GBA SP could be so beautiful 😍

[kevingomez]

I gotta say aside from the few nitpicks you had, and me thinking the buttons should have come with it, my biggest issue is the exposed cartridges. It scares me im gonna bump it too easily when putting it down

[JollyAndy]

Tito, I've been a fan of your videos for a long time. Your production quality has gotten so good over the years. Keep up the great work!

[Angultra]

Never thought I'd see the day that we get a hinged SP shell!

[aplsed]

Nothing better than hearing Tito narrate over Salt Lamp by Jobii.

[sBurning]

Ordered the unfinished bronze on Monday! Super excited for it to ship… in 6-8 weeks

[SuperNicktendo]

Been waiting for this. That purple looks good. I also got a silver one. I have two busted SPs that need some love.

[racooninvasion]

So cool, Tito! Hey, I would love if they could even do clear plastic hinge covers in red, then have clear red shoulder, volume, etc. That would be so cool!

[eighty]

I hope you never change your intro and sound

[adonian]

I totally agree with you on the additional weight giving it a premium feel. I like my EXPENSIVE products to feel like a quality product, and this looks nice... I'm gonna look in my "retro closet" and see if I can find my old SP's and actually try this mod.
edit... OH MAN, if they did one for the DS or DSi XL I'd totally get that.

[omegamog]

I wish it was a rounded replica of the original

[animeking]

Let's goooo! That looks great. I've got an old SP that hasn't worked in years. If I can get around to opening it up and seeing if I can repair it I'd love to do this mod.

[trigger]

Would be cool to see one made of pure titanium. Would also be insanely expensive lol
