In a word: don’t. Yeah, I know the default cases have the bowling shoe nature - especially the red ones - but when Nokia say they aren’t replaceable, they mean it.
Since some of you are going to plough on regardless, here are some of the Things I Found:
- Easy does it; the case is soft plastic, and easily marked; and you do not want to break anything.
- It’s real easy to mistake the buttons on the side for the clips holding the case on. I’m missing a “Play” button as a result. Pay careful attention to the layout of the replacement case; try to figure out on the phone by feel which is button and which is clip.
- The microphone is small, rubber, and wedged in to the front faceplate really well. Unless your replacement cover comes with a mike, you’ll need to dislodge it and transplant it. I suggest taking careful note of the orientation of the two little springs on the back, and gently lever it out with, say, a razor.
- Clean the replacement screen before you put it together.
There’s some other people’s experiences, here.
