      It’s not too hard to do. I used the funny playing kit for mine, you have to modify the screen opening a bit to put it in an original case, I did that at first but went back and bought the funny playing case they make to suit. Much nicer finish.

        This is exactly the same kit, it’s great! Mine uses my original GB shell because it was already pretty beat up and the screen had unfixable lines. Now I play it every day.

      I restored it, retrobrited it and now it sits in a clear case on my desk connected to USB power so that it can play Tetris forever!

        Hahahah, that’s awesome!! I’m laughing because my old one is sitting in a drawer under the tv, has only ever played super Mario, having retired from its pre-internet role as toilet entertainment. I’m certain my family thought I had digestive/dietary issues given how long I spent in the toilet when I was younger, but really I was just on a full bore dopamine chase trying to beat the game. Yours is receiving the proper respect and reverence, good work bud!
