Replacing entire N900 case
 
I'd like to completely replace my N900's case with this one -
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/New-black-face...item414e523fe3

When I first got it I promised myself i'd keep it clean and scratch free, always in it's case, but somehow it's managed to get a couple of scratches on the outer ring of the faceplate (the bit with "Nokia" on it) and a few dents on the rear cover.
Sounds trivial, but it really does remove the device's "luxury" aura.

Has anyone tried this? Is it particularly difficult?

Get yourself an otterbox case.

Solid.

Just bought one, looks excellent. Thank you!
Looks like it'll be a pain to change the battery/memory card, though.

Is it a truly daft idea to use some kind of touch-up paint to vanquish the scratches around my "Nokia" logo?

Now China has the N900 you will see many many spares come from China for the N900 and the quality build is in fact getting better all the time from that part of the world.
Watch out for the bargains.

Much cheaper, and $5 international shipping is a bargain.

Some real life pictures of the Otterbox on the N900 would be nice.
