OP’s is likely mostly real components at least.

I can’t say about all of Grid’s products, but I got their Gameboy and multiple components were way too perfect and clean (including the case) to be 30+ years old.

Grid’s are also clearly used. I have a couple of their frames. I also don’t really believe the OP made their own. There’s a lot of companies out there making similar products.

A couple of my components seem real (the buttons specifically). It feels like they substitute whatever they don’t have with remakes. If so, I’m fine with that. I like their design. I just wish they were open about it if true.

Now re OP: I’m with you.

All the components used are from the same phone. I did consider buying a new flash and rear mic when I lost it, but I found it a few days later stuck to something in my room.

I did make my own. The phone in the frame is my sisters iPhone 6s that died one day last year. I kept it for a while with the intent of making this kind of thing. Then when my dad bought an ifixit kit to replace his MacBook battery, I used the tools from it to tear down the phone. I then bought a frame from The Range. I designed the template using open office draw as it used centimetres for sizes. The font is apples own font, and I printed the template on card at a local shop that has a good printer in it.
