Hello. I want to replace the entire case too, but I noticed that the new one highly differs from the original one. We're not talking about battery cover (camera won't work, paint it black and no magnets) and screen (seems to be all fine), we're talking about a part where all buttons are.

First of all, N900 have a lot of metal contacts on it, which seems to be antenna contacts? The new housing does not have any of it at all.
And also, the original housing have a metal contact where the hard reset button is, the new housing does not.

Any ideas what to do here?
