Forgive my ignorance, but what material is that cartridge made out of?

The clear one is on the way but it’s coming to the US from the UK so it may take a while. When it arrives, I’ll post a pic of the vinyl skin under the clear shell. I ordered a plain black skin, as well as a retro inspired skin that is black and gray. Will attach pics of the retro skin for a better idea of what I’m hoping to use. But since the metallic black doesn’t look so bad, I figured I’d share with ya.

Additional edit, I’m gonna attach a screenshot of the clear shell that I was expecting to receive. So yah. I was shooting for a black retro vinyl skin under the clear shell. But I’ll check back in when I can finally make that happen.

Update. My order arrived and it was metallic black instead of clear. Thought I would share. Awaiting the right product. May be a couple weeks.

Hey so I thought I’d share with you an idea I’ve been kicking around to improve the appearance of my 2ds. I have been considering purchasing a vinyl decal/skin from someone like decalgirl or mightyskins, and after applying it, putting a clear shell on the console like the ones that you can find on zedlabz or ebay. It wouldn’t be an ideal solution, but it would give it a custom look that would also protect the console and skin from damage moving forward.

I ordered a clear shell from Zedlabz. Once it arrives, I’ll have a experiment with it myself. Just a suggestion from a fella that commiserates with ya!

Nice find!! Thanks for sharing!!

I think the same thing. I love my 2DS and it’s a bit beat up. I can’t find any replacement shells, so I have been considering buying some parts only models and maybe sanding and painting the shells myself.

Sympathize with ya. Good luck on your search and let me know if you find a vendor!
