Replacement Outer Cases?

[MrVaderSir]

Hey,

Does anyone know where I can buy replacement GP32 outer cases? I have searched high and low but to no avail.

Unfortunately the clip on my battery compartment snapped

Thanks in advance

I'm looking into it right now. Hopefully I will eventually be able to offer this service in a few months. As well as a selection of colored alternatives. I can't promise anything though. Some of the GP32 case parts will require quite complicated molds.

you could buy a broken gp32 of ebay
but that would set you back a lot
you could maybe fix that by yourself
do you still have the little clip part?

Daz_Genetic, let me just be the first to say that I'd buy a clear-colored case if you ever start up this business.

I'd be the second.

I would buy a coloured case (any colour) for about £10-£25 (inc. shipping).


edit: make that any colour apart from pink and the same colour.

why not buy a plain one and spray it yourself, when/if Daz offers them for sale!

If your going to do that why wait? Remove your case and spray the original (or dye it) Guide here

Well, I've been investigating the possibilities of custom paint jobs (proper artwork) and I would have to charge a lot more for them. Not just because of the extra materials, but because of the sheer amount of time required for them. They also wouln't really stand up to daily abuse. Eventually, you will see worn and dulled areas.

One thing you might be interested in though. When I paint the inside of the mold before I cast a case, the plastic actually forms a chemical bond with the paint. This means that minor scuffs and general wear and tear wouldn't reveal the plastic. This is a huge benefit over just painting a case yourself. And people will be able to request any color in this form.

For the basics colors (white, black, clear and a few select colors) these will be solid color right through.
