All flips going out now have updated hinges

Yes, good for them for not ignoring the issue. They not only replaced units but also identified and fixed the problem.

Thanks for the video.. can you get replacement shells for the flip? may be a good video to see it being replaced. I was tempted with the flip but my RP2+ works fine ..

You may be able to at some point. I reached out to Retroid about the broken hinge, and they offered me a replacement shell as one of the opiton during the RMA process. So, I assume that this means it might become available for purchase in their DIY section eventually. I agree that would make a good video. The RP2+ is a solid device. If you do pick up a flip, and it has an issue, Retroid will replace it, so at least that can give you a bit more confidence in the purchase.

@@muzzworks Thanks for uploading! Out of curiosity, which replacement did you end up getting? Is the build quality different on the new shell/color? Edit: I ordered the black one, will arrive next week.

@xXinsaneboyXx From what I have seen, the cracking seems to be more prevalent in the limited edition version. That’s not to say that it doesn’t occur in the others. The black one is a good choice. I honestly can’t say I have seen anyone show a picture of that one with a crack yet. I went with a full replacement from retroid, rather than a replacement shell. I have had it for a few weeks now with no issues yet.

I think flip more portable

Definitely is more portable than most.

The hinge failure rate is actually quite low given the number of units sold. It's a thing, just not a huge thing and honestly, even Nintendo couldn't get the bloody hinge right on ANY of the bloody handhelds.

Agreed, it seems that it may have been a few defective shells. Plus, Retroid has been replacing units with the issue. Not their best design but their customer service makes up for alot.

@@muzzworks I'll be honest, I'm happy that customer service is responsive in the situation. My 16 bit colour variant literally just shipped yesterday. 😉👍🤘
