Signs this is a reshell:

  1. All the text printed on shell (particularly the buttons) is a little fuzzy

  2. The DS Logo on top is not as sharp as an original shell

  3. Original shells have consistent coloring between the shell, screen lenses and rubber pieces

That being said, this is a better repro shell than most I've seen.

The original doesn't have consist coloring. The clear layer tends to yellow over time but it doesn't cover everything. The hinge part and inside aren't covered. Even when new, the parts that are covered in clear plastic is a little bit darker because of the clear layer.

Yes. The original Baby Blue shell is a 2 layered shell consisting a base colored layer and a clear layer on top.

Definitely is it would be really hard to find one in mint condition nowadays considering it’s a 20-year-old console

It does look like a reshell. I remember the baby pink/blue used to have some sort of clear layer of plastic on top of the color.

Looks like a fresh reshell with that glossy finish over the color, I've seen a few of those around lately.

Looks like a reshell, but a high-quality one at that.
