The ModRetro Chromatic is the ultimate Game Boy. It's the Game Boy to end all Game Boys, with a perfect scratchproof screen, a shell that can withstand being driven over, and pixel-perfect graphics that allow us to enjoy our favourite games as they were always intended.
You don't just want to throw the perfect Game Boy in the bottom of your bag unprotected or walk around with it in your hand and risk smacking it off a lamp post or dropping it while looking at a funny-shaped cloud (all things I definitely did with my Game Boy as a kid).
That's why ModRetro have brought out a case for the Chromatic that's perfectly shaped to keep your handheld safe. It's a hardshell case with recesses in the lid for the D-pad and action buttons to sit in, making sure that everything is protected from all angles and completely snug.
There's also a compartment for a Game to sit in too, hidden away behind a lift-up flap underneath where the Chromatic sits. That means you can take two games away with you and keep one safe and sound when it's not in use. You even get a little Chromatic charm to stick on your handheld or your keys.
I've been using an old official Nintendo Game Boy soft case since buying my Chromatic, and while I wish they had dropped this accessory sooner, I'm glad that it's finally here so I can fully protect my favourite Game Boy. Having confidence when handling your tech makes for a much more enjoyable experience, and if you do a lot of travelling, you'll rest easy knowing that your Chromatic is protected.
The Chromatic Case costs $29.99 (around £22/€25) plus shipping. Head to ModRetro for more details!
