But all in all its fine for me and this was the object of desire since I slightly chipped it on the corner when my white beauty fell down on the asphalt.
Now I'm looking to repair the current case (file the corner round round and polish it afterwards) and keep the new one as a backup.
I'm in the exact same position as you and also thought of shaping the edge but I would advise against it. What I noticed is if I press the edge that is damaged against something hard like a granite kitchen counter or metal door frame you can push it flat. Its not perfect but it does help somewhat.

I've dropped it again after the first fall onto asphalt and I'm glad I've got the backup chassis. I wouldn't file the edge as it is still providing some protection for the sim tray and usb cover. You rather purchase the item below. It doesn't matter if the chassis gets scratched from debris as its already damaged. Its the closest case I've found that looks exactly like the one Nokia ships with the other N9 colours. I doubt its authentic though.
