Hi. Are the OEM/Third party housing and parts like this http://www.ebay.ph/itm/New-Housing-Shell-Pack-for-Nintendo-Gameboy-Advance-Sp-GBA-SP-Repair-Part-Black-/181140261893 exactly the same quality as the original Nintendo in every way? Or it's not the same material and feel (though how come they can put Nintendo's logo with eBay being strict with clone or fake things if these are considered fake?). Are these actually from Nintendo and they were surplus or somehow someone in China figured out the exactly quality of the plastic and the exact mold (or they got the exact mold used by Nintendo, exact mix of plastics and rubber) for the original Nintendo?

Thank you. God bless, Cor. 13

Don't know the answers to your question but wish someone would make replacement shells for SNESs!

Hi. I contacted one of the resellers for this, he said it's not exactly the same, the difference may not be the same but I'll skip the OEM coz' it's best to go used original even if it's a little beat up (perhaps with defective units, just get the housing). God bless. Rev. 21:4
