i get a "pop" almost everytime before the phone plays a sound. Even when i moved form Silent to Beep, i get a pop. I don't remember having this with my original black chassis.
I will open up the phone and re-attach the parts again... maybe I will move the speaker from my black housing over to the cyan housing...

But anyway I have done the change of my N9 64GB to Cyan. Through this process, i stripped one of the screw so I have one less screw in my phone. I accidentally spoilt the new usb door. But this is my first attempt and I am sure I will do lots better in my second attempt. I will try to change to a white one in the future (maybe in 6 months time)
Anyway the whole process is rather simple. The most difficult part is the unscrewing of the screws. They are all so tight that it feels that Nokia has welded them in since the screws have black spots around them. After the screws are out, i finish the rest in like 10mins.
So, an advice for anyone trying it the first time, get a good screwdriver and unscrew the screws slowly and steadily. Don't rush, unless if you want to strip the screw.
btw, can anyone recommend a seller that has good full white housing with USB cover and SIM tray? The seller (freetrade21) that sells me mine seems to have removed his N9 housings from eBay
the seller is still going to send me it! but worried it wont be real nokia housing!
don't plan to fit straight away anyway! will probably end up selling it!

Seriously where can we buy real authentic cases from the Nokia factory where N9s were built? After getting a fake one off of eBay, I'm really hesitant to purchase another one. . .

Actually I am already prepared to get fake cases. But as long as they are well made, i don't care. I can already switch them in 5-10mins.
ANyway i switched back to my black original case and the popping sound is gone. So this is due to the non-genuine case.
But like other people in this thread, I am curious where can really get original housings?

All up, with (requested) international shipping, it would cost me $98 AUD.... and that's without the sim tray + usb door. Too expensive
