Got my silicon cases today, very nice indeed, make the PO’s feel much nicer to use, so if you were thinking on them I say go for it, a little on the pricey side but the quality warrants it I think.

How do you feel about the LEDs?
Can still see them through the case, but not quite as bright I think, the viewing angle is a bit narrower now too.
It may be my browser, but I can’t seem to order a case direct from TE. Anyone else have any joy recently?
I really want one, especially because they have the icons on the top of the buttons (having them below the button confuses me, as I expect them to be above). Still, $39 is just wild, especially considering I got my iPhone Gameboy case on eBay for like $4 ppd, and I imagine that involved just about as much work to make. Also, you’d really think it would be easier to keep the cases in stock; they must be much simpler to manufacture than the PO units.
One main difference with these cases and gameboy/iphone silicon cases, is that these are much more substantial, thick and good quality, and not at all “sticky” and they fit like a glove.
Strange. My GB case hasn’t felt sticky, and I’ve had it for over a year now.
I’ve got my package with the ordered silicon cases today. I’ve opened it and…what’s that??? PO 12, PO 14 and PO 16… they send me a second time. Thank you TE. Another 3 units for the price of 3 cases.
Got my cases today! never got a shipping notice.
They have little lanyards on them! I don’t remember that from the description.
As suspected, my case has already been attracting a lot of lint right out of the box. eek
Anyone think I can spray paint these? I think I’ll try priming it and then lay down a few coats.
@kites a really bad idea to spray paint!
@dimi3 I read that oil based works out better, or plastidip, something that flexes. Know any?
Plastidip is probably a good shout but not sure how any paints or solvents or rubbers will react with the silicone though.
