tom'row, for 15 bucks i'll collect a NUU Minikay and after that get the fit for N9 from here
that's another 50 bucks
N9 costed 300 (plus taxes)

all in all, for about 400 bucks, you get a N950 equivalent device.
admittedly, the design isn't quite up to par with the original, but considering the additional storage (64GB instead of 16GB) that's something i can live with
