Okay, I made a thread about the stripped screws of my black N9 a month ago while trying to change to a white housing.Of course, many amazing members replied quickly quickly, telling me to use a dremel and take them out with a flathead.
I just followed their advice now but the screws are so tight neither I nor my friend who works with watches were able to take it out. What should I do? I really want a unicorn N9

So not worth this effort IMHO. It's just a color.

Flathead screwdriver hammered a little (gently!) inside screw. You need quite "sharp" flathead, that will cut inside screw's head, while getting hit by hammer few times.
Possible to do with even most delicate electronic, if done with common sense (not too hard, better to hit 20 times with less force, than one time with too much...).

My N9 is black and i like it, sens i had it i allways keept it on this kind of ruber protection case, but few days a go i tuck it of the ruber to clean from dust and wear, then i realised around the camera lens in two places the plastic is cracked like flower leaf's direction, but i never have press hard on my phone bcz i tuck care of it more then my girl-friend i guess...i don't understand why nokia cheat so much telling us is hard carbon and brack itself....so, if i could find new org cover in my contry, i would change it, and in mean time i would put some extra tiny wire to wifi antena for better connection signal...is it a good idea about wifi or not...
