It is a royal pain in the ass to replace 3DS shells, both old and new. Such a pain in the ass, that I just simply won't buy them to refurbish if I have to do a complete reshell. And 3rd party replacement shells are dogshit. So unless you have an OEM loaner, I really, really don't recommend it.
That's kind of what I was afraid to hear. It's such a neat concept, but with how the 3ds is constructed, i had a feeling it would be more trouble than it's worth.
