Possible? Probably. Hard? Surely. Will break the guarantee? Yes.

Shouldn't be too hard. Here is the video:

I plan to make mine white at some point. Mind you that usually they don't sell the USB and SIM tray covers, only the main housing. Those small flaps cost extra.

I ordered one on ebay and it suppose to come with the covers. :-) I hope its a real housing I will report back.

Yep, a few of us have done it. Not too difficult once you have the right tools. See threads...

are there fake housings on ebay? i got mine the other day and it looks real enough?

cant imagine anyone would go to so much trouble to copy the housing! mine has some print on the top side of each ribbon?

i can see some black on the flash (white housing) when i look from the back?

it has yellow print inside next to battery and oddly one of the screws holding the speaker ribbon thing is missing!

I don't want to fit it if its not real!

Some ebayers say there are, some say they are taken from dismantled N9s?
