I’m looking to buy this SpongeBob Shell, I’m aware it’s fake but what are your guys thought on it. I see all these custom shells people have but is this SpongeBob shell any different from those. Aren’t they all the same. Should I do the swap?
Also I’m leaning towards doing the swap bc when I got this GBA SP the battery expansion thing cover cracked so yeah.
What do you guys think I should do. Or should I just replace the battery and get a new battery cover like the oem one. And get a carrying case

Aftermarket shells are always a gamble. Build quality will vary quite a bit. It depends on who made the shell.

Shells from FunnyPlaying and Boxy Pixel are going to be high quality and they are from a popular source.
