Don't like the color of your DS? Think it's "outdated" and don't want to drop another $130 on a different colored one?
DSEmulation reports that Xtreme Enterprises are going to release a ton of replacement shells. The colors known so far are:
- Astro Yellow
- Ivory White
- Dynamic Red
- Dreamy Blue
- Cool Black
- Strat Clear
They aren't joking around when they say its an entire replacement. They give you all of it. Even the L and R triggers. We wouldn't be surprised to see these pop up on accessory sites. We just wonder how many of you are clever enough to actually, manually put this together... kidding!

I would definitely get one as long as detailed instructions on how to do it are included with it.

FINALLY! I can get a ds lite in red! After my last one was stolen, I was holding out for it to come out in "blood red," but now I can go ahead and get a white one. BTW why are they bothering to sell an "Ivory White?" I can't imagine someone lucky enough to have it in blue or pink would want to CHANGE it to white, when it's such a common color.

They have had these for the regular DS for a while too. It comes with a lcd screen as well since you have to take off that part.

That's great news for anyone wanting to get a Black DS Lite without paying an extra $70.
I wonder if these new shells fix the fingerprint issue of the original shell, that would be even nicer.

I just replaced the shell of my regular DS a few weeks ago... went from a standard platinum to a black shell.
The process wasn't too bad... if you're careful. I accidentally loosened a wire to the touch screen and had to take it apart a second time to fix it.
All in all I'm pleased with the results though... and it only cost me about $15 US.

2, it's Ivory white, not just white. still, i know i wouldn't get it.
this is a cool thing, i like the idea of the clear one. but i wonder how clear it is? crystal clear or like, scotch tape clear.
i can't wait for someone to make clear button replacements (d-pad, abxy, l, r) like the psp's buttons.

I ordered a replacement shell to be delivered hme and my father tried assembling it... he tried it and the touch screen would display but didnt register any touches. Anyone have any ideas how to fix this? Please let me know. Thanks!!!

Hello Sean,
I think I know your problem. The bottom LCD screen isn't the touch screen, It has the touch screen wired to it, so there are technically 3 screens. check to make sure that all wires are plugged in, and into the right places.
