It's a very sexy DMG I must say...and I have an off topic question...

The tactile feel of things go a long way with me. I've always enjoyed the original GB shells over most because they feel nice and sturdy, the textured finish on them offers a little bit of grip...they just feel solid when assembled. It's probably because I, like many others here, grew up with these machines in our hands for hours on end and have grown accustomed to how they feel...

Do they have a similar feel or are they kind of slick like clear PIL shell, or perhaps a bit of a softer feel like the Kitschboy cases?

Sorry for such a touchy feely question.

Yeah it's closer to a GreyBoy textured feel than a slick clear PIL.  The clear black even more so in the textured dept.  they are great cases and feel factory and not cheap at all.

Thanks, I've always wondered. It's a small thing, but still...the more you know...

I just did a touch test of mine.  The ASM cases are textured like the grey OEM case.  I don't have a a clear PIL to compare, but it does seem a bit slicker.  That could also be due to a difference of decades of use and wear.

In that case I will send you a few pics this weekend if I can get hands on a decent camera.  I haven't had time to finish any of the stuff I started (plus in need of a few parts).  Both colors are perfect for what I picked them up for.

I have a Gameboy Micro I would gladly throw you. Possibly more. Let me know what you're up for.

Let me see if anyone else shows any interest.  Micros are definitely cool and I would not mind having one again.  I'll definitely keep you in mind!

Ordered it with this in mind actually!  Wanted to see how your green shield looked in a see through case.
