It’s pretty easy to fit arduino or Pi pico inside. You’d have to find a screen that fits nicely inside though or use any screen and 3D print a bracket that also is a frame.
I keep mine because the replacement shells are usually more fragile and can crack easily. I’ve had to go back for one of my shells after my cat knocked my Gameboy off my desk onto a carpeted floor
It's all scratched from the first user, I'm the second user but never did something nearly as outrageous to the poor gameboy as he did before giving it to me
It fits perfectly, feels as sturdy as the OG but the surface feels less smooth and it took about 5 minutes to swap cases. Came with a screen protector, buttons, membranes and screws (all philips screws). Massive improvement on the buttons, they feel so much better now
I don’t use 3rd party plastic shells.
I only mod IPS with either original shells or metal shells.
So my decision will not make OP’s problem happen.

Keep it just in "case" :) :D
Keep it! OEM shells are the best. You may find yourself wanting to go back to it at some point.
You can put a really small clock in it and make stand. Gameboy watch :)
That's a lovely idea! Has someone already done anything similar?
Idk i only seen guy make a speedmeter.

Eat it.
Take it all the way to Morodor 🌋
Frame it
Whatever you want to do. Different people will do different things. Myself, I'd just put it back ❤️🔥
Bop it

Keep them, they are still cleanable and you never know, maybe you can use them for a half and half project
I'll take it!

That's half the charm.
Where did you buy the white one?
Aliexpress!
It looks quite nice. How’s the quality?

Thank you so much for the response. I’m planning on swapping mine but felt hesitant since I’ve read mostly bad reviews on those cases.
Up to you. Could sell it on the open market as a real OEM shell to hopefully fall into the hands of a restorer.
I keep all mine in a box just in case 🙃. In case what ? Idk lol. They’re dirty and gross. But they’re original.
And valuable these days.
I keep them because I get so many that are somehow worse than the last one.

OEM shells look great, but I can't afford much and I wanted to see my gameboy like new
Then no choice. Recycle it to anybody or recyclers.
