When I bought my N9, I got one in a beat-up housing with the intention of swapping the outers. I bought a housing through eBay from China, shipped to the UK for ~£10, similar to this one. The item included all the electronic components that are part of the case, so was a straight swap, and was a very good match for the original.
The housing I was sent happened to have one of the four screwholes mis-moulded, but on sending a picture to the seller they offered to send another at no charge (and didn't need the other returned). I never actually got around to swapping to the replacement: it's sat in the cupboard as a spare.
Re: wear and tear, I have a snap-on case over the housing, but the exposed portions have shown little wear in the year I've owned my N9.

This might not be an option for you, but I would still go and check phone repair shops and old nokia shops. When I wanted 100% original replacements I went to a nokia repair shop and got the part from there. I got a replacement housing as late as March 2015 (white).
Be aware tho: original parts from these shops are hideously expensive, at least here in Helsinki.

I also need to find a USB port replacement as mine is kinda broken.

EDIT: I reside in the USA, so I'm am constantly looking for a legit site that can also ship to the USA.
