Okay, so i got the case and all seemed well at first
But then i saw some slight physical damage near the usb door, which, made me think "i should return it", but i let it go
Then I tried to switch out everything in to the new housing, to discover that one of the screw sockets had a broken screw in it, preventing me from being able to put a screw in that particular socket. But that too, i thought i would let pass
BUT THEN, i turned it on, everything seemed okay, until i went to use the flash on the camera - that didn't work. So, that was the last straw
I've had to switch everything back to my original housing. I think i'll just stick with my original one and get a refund
Warning though - make sure the torx screwdrivers you get are magnetised. The ones they sent me weren't, and it is actually impossible to screw back in the 2 screws in the usb/sim tray bit. Luckily i had a magnetic torx from a few years back that did the trick
i tried to replace mine to the white one. but i'm having problem with one Screw that no longer can be opפend.
what next?
Top-right screw, next to the down volume button? I stripped that one when I did the change myself - had to take a dremel to it and then use a flathead screwdriver.

Maybe when I get it I should just return it and wait to get it from a more expensive seller.

seems like that screw is the problematic one. I stripped mine too. But mine is partially out already. Will try to use a pliers to get it out tonight.
So now i am short of one screw. Is it ok to not screw that one or do I need to get a replacement screw?

I've got two screws not back in my n9 at the moment due to stripping them on the way out - seems fine. I put another screw back in the "problem" spot, as it's fairly central, but left some other ones out where there were other screws nearby. I left the metal retainer strip out entirely for a week too and that didn't seem to matter or affect reception either. Just think - your phone will be a gram lighter than other N9s as well as being a different colour!
