You will never know unless you try will you! You must have a pretty good idea if you could do this for yourself surely.

Have a look at the feedback, there's a few complaints about quality and fitting.

i wouldnt buy a copy housing as it never fits as good as original, no matter what the seller claims

We've just changed the housing on a Nokia 6111 which is also a slide phone, brought fascia/housing from ebay tried to do it ourselves to find out that we needed a special tool and so took it mobile phone man on the market and he changed it for a fiver.
