Hi all,
I've seen a few N950s for sale on Ebay and most of them are missing their rear covers. Why is this? Are they prone to breaking?
Cheers
That said SIM slot door usually falls off as retaining strap of the thinnest plastic if ever been opened. As well as SIM adaptor being a total nono, be very careful with latest three in one SIM as grooves can catch pins also. Trick is to slide thin strip of cardboard between SIM card and holder contacts before releasing SIM. My advice would be to always remove 4 x T5 screws securing rear cover to access SIM slot.

@juiceme yes those black blotches are also very common!
@aspergerguy good point, maybe that is what happened. I just thought it was strange and wondered if there was a more complex reason, like the back panels are removed by some people for normal use and so if there is one being sold without the panel it probably means it's stolen... or something even more sinister!
Good tip about the SIM pins and modern 3in1 cards.

Wow. I just Googled N950 ebay and saw a seller was asking over $1000. Is that the going price for these ancient relics?

Missing rear cover ....
There is written not for sale. Was it meant for the rear cover or the whole device
Maybe you have a better position to argument and to make excuses for the illegal sale.
Or maybe the phones are from a lab. And they needed permanent access to the inside connector. Then the cover got lost or due to laziness never mounted back.

To keep it legal, maybe the seller should sell a pen for 1000€ and offer a N950
