Only difference is the chinese markings on the bottom, rather than the CE logo
Will (try to) switch the housings over tonight!

But then i saw some slight physical damage near the usb door, which, made me think "i should return it", but i let it go
Then I tried to switch out everything in to the new housing, to discover that one of the screw sockets had a broken screw in it, preventing me from being able to put a screw in that particular socket. But that too, i thought i would let pass
BUT THEN, i turned it on, everything seemed okay, until i went to use the flash on the camera - that didn't work. So, that was the last straw
I've had to switch everything back to my original housing. I think i'll just stick with my original one and get a refund
Warning though - make sure the torx screwdrivers you get are magnetised. The ones they sent me weren't, and it is actually impossible to screw back in the 2 screws in the usb/sim tray bit. Luckily i had a magnetic torx from a few years back that did the trick

So now i am short of one screw. Is it ok to not screw that one or do I need to get a replacement screw?

I left the metal retainer strip out entirely for a week too and that didn't seem to matter or affect reception either. Just think - your phone will be a gram lighter than other N9s as well as being a different colour!
