No one sells them anymore. I contacted a lot of the distributors with no luck. Things like this sometimes resurface when people go through their warehouses, but don't hold your breath.

There's apparently 7 different colors too, according to the box. I have a red one like this too but the printing is white.

Anyone have an suggestions on where else to buy these besides where nordloef suggested. I'm only asking because the site that he linked to doesn't even seem to sell any Gameboy stuff anymore

They're newly molded and printed. They were made by a company in China for a while.

I bought mine from http://www.gameliquidation.com many many years ago. They also sold third party DMG battery covers, all had the wrong colors though. I think I bought a transparent purple one or something.

Sorry for the long wait, my life is crazy right now.
I contacted the seller to find out some history but his reply was basically they were a bulk buyer/seller and knew nothing.

I've got the teal one:

Probably the one you said was green? I got it on eBay. The listing said it was blue and it had a terrible picture. Thought it was going to be an official blue PIL. I was not disappointed.

I have one like that, but it's yellow. They were sold a few years back, but are difficult to find nowadays. I believe the start/select buttons were taller, and the other silicone parts were clear. But whoever installed it easily could have just used the original silicone parts.

Found a picture. Had a kitsch screen on it when I bought it, but I think they included a screen cover as well.

I recently bought a Green Play it Loud!, or so i thought. It doesn't look the same color green as a PIL, has normal DMG buttons/screen protector, no Nintendo GameBoy under the screen and no model info on the back near over the battery cover. Battery cover is same color as shell. I haven't opened it yet. Does anyone know if the shell is after market?
