GBA SP accessories

I bought a GBA SP last month and I've played through both Metroids and now I'm working on FF: Dawn of Souls. I love this little system, but my hands tend to cramp up and I find myself squinting through the glare. Are the game grips (handles for the system) and screen magnifiers / anti-glare screens worth the bucks? I've seen a few kits on ebay, and I believe Gamestop has a kit for $30 that includes these and a few other things. They seem like they'd be the cure to my ailments, but are they as good as they seem? Any other suggestions for must-have accessories?
 
I've never had any issues with hand cramping or eye strain with my GBA SP, so don't have any recommendations to solve those problems.

But the best 2 accessories I have are the GBA Movie Player and an USB charging cable.
 
Maybe try the GBA non-SP, it has a little better design for hand comfort. Kits might be OK, never tried one though.
 
i enjoy playing games like zelda: four swords with the connector that allows you to use the gba as controller for the game cube. i would like to get the gameboy-gamecube converter thinggy but its way too overpriced right now.

honestly, other than that maybe just a little case to store it in so it doesn't get too scuffed up.
 
I bought it used, so it's already pretty scuffed up. 🙂 The movie player might be nice, and I often play near a computer, so the USB charger might be beneficial. This thing has such great battery life though! The non-sp has a nicer feel, but the screen isn't backlit. 🙁
