Where can I buy real white N9 housing?
 
Hi guys,

I'm looking for a white housing for the N9 and found this (https://www.parts4repair.com/full-ho...okia-n9-white/). Does anyone have any experience with the site?

Where else can I find a genuine white housing? What's the difference between the Chinese Ebay housing and the OEM ones?

Thank you

I have seen posters here praising that website. I have a single point experience with them when something I ordered never arrived. But they refunded me immediately and without fuss.

In my experience usually show up in fit of SIM tray/USB door on some of cheaper housings. Always wondered whether some are in fact seconds that were originally rejected by Nokia due to tolerance issues and have resurfaced, but could well be wrong and problem related to use of replacement generic SIM/USB parts.

You can still source original USB charging port cover as here:https://stellatech.com/en/nokia-n9-0...a,811575.html/

I've got a genuine white housing with almost no signs of usage. There's just one problem. Volume down or up button doesn't work. Can't remember which one, would have to check.
I used it for a little while but decided to go back to my old modified white one.

I have an original white case. Used to have a mint white 64gb and I changed the housing to Pink for my lady and got the original white being spare. Will need some search tonight and update...

I have purchased from them several times with only positive results. The only housings I have purchased from them have been for my 808 Pureview, but they were original.

Does anyone know what the difference between these two are?

OEM (cheaper): https://www.parts4repair.com/full-ho...okia-n9-white/

Other one: https://www.parts4repair.com/full-ho...okia-n9-white/

I've got both original (I hope) and OEM bought on ebay. The latter doesn't automatically recognize audio jack, which means I have to use this little app to switch, but apart from that both look and behave identically (same signal strength, same glossy finish). OEM seems to have louder speaker/mic, but that's probably because of more dust under the hood of my old N9
