    I would absolutely buy one asap, if they included a full shell. For $119.xx, I expect the grey bits, fresh springs, etc. Otherwise, the inevitable $10-20 knock-off will likely be a nice option.

    I bought a clear shell from RGR last year. My only complaint was that the screw holes were not pre-tapped. The original screws Nintendo used do not have the strength to self-tap as you screw them in, so I highly recommend you PRE-TAP YOUR HOLES with a very small drill bit prior to trying to screw anything down.
