Game Gear Shell Kit (Clear Black)

RetroSix Game Gear Shell Kit – Clear Black

Yellowed plastic, scratches, cracked corners – the Game Gear has taken a beating over the decades. The RetroSix Prestige Shell Kit in Clear Black fixes that: swap out the worn original housing for a brand-new ABS shell that fits better and feels better than what Sega shipped back in the day.

Why RetroSix?

RetroSix went through multiple molds and countless iterations to perfect this shell. The result is top-notch tolerances and clean finish – clearly superior to the original in fit and feel. The ABS plastic is sourced from Japan and manufactured by a factory that has been part of the gaming industry since the console's own era.

Clear Black – the look

The transparent black finish gives your Game Gear a sleek, modern look – the internals subtly show through without looking cheap. No prints, no logos – just a clean style upgrade for minimalists and modders alike.

IPS-ready & flexible

The shell comes pre-cut for IPS displays – no additional trimming or modding required. The original LCD works just fine too. The battery compartment has no internal dividers, making it compatible with both standard AA batteries and popular battery mods like Li-Ion packs.

Assembly notes

The screw posts are not pre-threaded – the included self-threading screws will cut their own threads on first assembly. Do not over-tighten to avoid cracking. It's recommended to carefully pre-thread all posts before final assembly.
Buttons and silicone membranes are not included – these are available separately from RetroSix. Installation requires basic technical knowledge and suitable tools.
