After documenting the transformation of other people's Nokia E61 for some time, the turn has finally come to me. I bit the bullet and ordered a blue case from the now famous eBay seller.


I have to say that I was a bit nervous before I started ripping my precious Nokia E61 apart. However, just as many others have reported before me - it was really a straightforward procedure. No problems at all. Having said that, please be aware that you will void your warranty by performing this surgery on your precious Nokia E61.

I followed Andres' detailed instructions. The trickiest part was to remove the top, back cover with the Nokia logo. But even that wasn't a problem. I just used an ordinary knife.

Putting the new case back together was easy. However, the battery latch that I received fits very tightly and as many other's have mentioned before the front, top portion feels a bit loose. I also have to say that switching to the plastic case makes the device feels less solid.
