My phone is looking a little wrecked - I have dropped it a few times. Im considering replacing the case - has anyone on here done this? Just wondering if you found it hard/easy?

I have changed the housing on my lumia 800 and two processes are very similar, so I can share my experience
First watch the video about how to take it apart, in not sure there are any English videos for the N9 but there's definitely a Russian video which is very clear even if you don't know the language type in YouTube : "разбор Nokia n9".
After this post I'll also share a link with my guide about the lumia which has a lot of useful and relevant info in it although the wrong video obviously. You can get the parts from the same seller that's mentioned there.
I changed my original black housing for Cyan. Once you have the screen off the rest is a cynch. Just make sure you have good quality tools so you don't strip any of the torx that hold the metal shield and system board in place.
Great! Thanks guys - where did you source your original parts from? The one I bought from ebay looks fake (not that obvious bar the engraved text).
The seller that i ordered my lumia parts from was called "headlane ltd" they are a uk firm, i contacted them and they said they get legit parts.. The ones i got look exactly the same as the original ones. I think headlane also sells n9 parts im not sure but i can say from experience that this company seems to sell original parts
Who did you buy yours from?
here's the russian video that i was talking about, i havent seen any other video myself.. this one is pretty clear though and if something is not, read my lumia guide from xda that i posted before because apart from one or two things the process is identical.
Annoyed that you asked now, because I ordered a blue housing and parts for my black 64gb a week ago for £47 and now there's one for £10 less. Never mind eh. Mine are from digital_supermarkets - I'll update this thread when they arrive.
