Elevate the look of your modded Game Boy Color with our glass lenses sized for backlit drop-in LCD kits like the McWill kit and the Freckle Shack. With superior scratch resistance, these replacement lenses enhance the look of your handheld and frame your beautiful backlit screen. 

Glass and plastic lenses are also available for your original Game Boy Color. 

Features

  • Scratch resistant glass keeps your lens looking clear for improved durability and superior aesthetic performance
  • Perfectly sized for the viewing area of drop-in LCD kits like the McWill kit and the Freckle Shack
  • Strong 3M adhesive for easy and reliable installation—no glue necessary
  • Ships with protective plastic film attached to the front of the lens

    Included

    • 1 x Game Boy Color glass screen lens
    • 1 x Adhesive for installation (pre-attached)

      Notes

      • Colors may vary from what you see on your display
      • While this lens is sized for LCD kits such as the McWill kit and Freckle Shack, the IPS LCD does not require a backlit lens; a normal CGB lens will work with the IPS

      Warning

      • Glass may shatter under pressure or if dropped. We always recommend that you exercise care when installing glass products.

      Only two things missing...

      While the installation of the screen went easily, but is not for the faint of heart, some case modification is necessary. One problem was the dearth of good instrction videos available for the install. Once in, the screen performed excellently, but one option that would be nice is to have the ability to control how much backlight the screen displays. This would serve two purposes: allowing the user to adjust for both bright and dim environments and extending battery life. Performance wise, this screen is very good, it renders the colors on the games accuately and displays the artificially colorized B+W gameboy games well. Overall, a good choice for an easy to install screen.

      Fits well!

      Fits my "Nintendo Game Boy Color TFT Drop-in Backlight Mod with Color Palettes" screen with only a small bar at the bottom... or top depending on where you mounted the screen. Honestly looks OEM to me.

      Backlit gameboy color

      It’s really good and it makes playing games way more better and now I can see what I’m playing and it’s easier to play at night.

      Nice finishing touch

      If you're going to upgrade your GBC with a TFT LCD, why not add a new glass screen that fits the reduced viewing area. I found the fit to be a perfect match.
