  • Excellent! You used my tip! I'll get a brown and a black one for my 950 XL
  • £34.95 on amazon delivered!
  • Fantastc, been monitoring Amazon.co.uk and until today they've not been showing, mine on order now
  • Yes! Everything is temporarily out of stock but I'm jumping on the brown nappa leather one as it looks like the interior of my car, a little darker than the nappa but lovely!
  • Thanks - I've just ordered 3 different ones :)
  • Microsoft Logo please.
    That would be the best seller for sure.
    Common, take my money...
  • Wow, it is really genuine leather! Interesting, I think the red one would be very eye catching but at the same time, the brown one is interesting in it's own way. I love the idea of being able to customize the phone to be your own. Props to Mozo.
  • We need a cyan nokia one
  • Yes please! This! I wouldn't mind a cyan polycarbonate backing. I hope a company does this!
  • Veto!
  • Veto? Posted via the Windows Central App for Android
  • The yellow one! I really miss that color in the Lumia brand
  • same here, but magenta from the N9 was my first love.
  • We need to see the Windows logo. Really it's a big deal. Showing the logo will make these cases perfect. :-)
  • That won't be the case with....err.... these cases.
    Did Microsoft design it? No. Then, I rest my....errr.... case
  • Case closed! Oh, that reminds me, I want a built in wallet flip casing.
  • They makes those too - leather flip cover with room for credit cards.
  • Credit cards in a phone case are such a bad idea. They just leave marks on the screen
  • That's my fear too. 
  • Agreed...
  • Or Microsoft should begin distrubuting stickers with each device purchased. I'd like to have one fitted on my car too :) . 
  • *Productive like a boss*
  • Yeah :)
  • That's what I want. You see Apple all over people's vehicles. I want the shiny new Microsoft logo
  • Some nice looking back covers for sure... but €55 O_O
  • That works out to be roughly £36 here in the UK, so cheap enough to get a couple and swap them over whenever I feel like it
  • Meanwhile on planet earth, 1 billion people are subsisting on one dollar a day.
    Crazy world
  • Meanwhile you're here at WPCentral commenting about poverty. Cool.
  • I just ordered 3 different cases and a 32GB micro SD (SanDisk extreme Pro) at a cost of £130.
    I give over £20,000 a year back to society, so more than happy to buy what I can afford when I want it
  • @spinzeroWL: And you are here commenting on windowscentral using your expensive computer/smartphone, Internet connection and electricity when you can do much more for such people, sell such superfluous things and make a difference.
  • £34.95 delivered on amazon, or £39 for the XL, not a lot on £500-£600 phones.
  • Well, they are genuine leather and one would hope not made with child labor
  • and they include wireless charging
  • Pretty darn expensive but I guess ill just wait till prices go down
  • Probably due to nfc and qi.
  • As a point of reference, 735 back covers cost 19,90 euro (in Greece) which has Qi and NFC but it is polycarbonate.. Now think about the materials used here, and the price is spot on!
  • And also it will replace Microsoft original case... So its pretty good deal to by Metal frame with leather backings
  • That's a little expensive. Btw, do they ship globally?
  • Yup
  • So, that means more charges for import duty, delivery, etc......
  • Yes...the shipping to India is another €15...
  • Considering its metal with leather and features NFC and wireless charging..its not a bad price at all
  • When in the US?
  • I was expecting someone to ask that about India ;)
  • Yeah that or retailers who have them for sale would be so helpful. Going to their website just tells me that it is present in the US but not where I can buy it. Amazon or even the Microsoft Store (online and physical store) would be great.
  • Should the xl not have 4 holes at the top and bottom? Also, my local Carphone Warehouse says that the phones won't drop until December. They also said that the xl may only be available online, they won't have it in the stores.
  • December 10 in Germany according to Twitter. Probaly around the same time in the rest of Europe. 
  • Netherlands 6th of December. The 950 XL includes a free Continuum Dock if pre-ordered. Makes it a better deal than the standard 950!
  • Ppl they are expensive but china will make them less quality and for qtr of the price . May pick one up
  • The phone with the red case has a gold trim around the side of the phone. That must be some sort of special edition one, but it certainly does look great. Dunno if I'm getting the 950 or 950xl yet, but I'd still be looking for something other than the colours listed...cyan preferably.
  • The gold bit put me off, but I love the red colour.
  • It's not a special edition, there's no reason to jump to that conclusion
  • Red one isn't special edition. Cost the same as the rest in EU
  • Might pick up one of these for my 950 when I get it.
  • There about £40 on amazon coming soon in the UK
  • About 37 pound uk. Cool.
  • They do look nice but I like my phone to lay flat and with that protruding lens it won't happen with these covers. I've had a lens get scratched before; plus I would need a lip for the front so it won't pick up micro-scratches on the screen if I lay it face down.
  • These cover are slightly thicker than the originals so the back should be level.
  • They are or they do look like to be slightly thicker?
  • My plan is one of these (the brown one) on a 950xl and a clear TPU case. Would still have the look and protected with very little size increase.
  • Thos would sell will if Microsoft includes with the accesories which they are going to bundle with the 950 xl.
  • Where are the green and cyan? :(
  • Need Green!
  • When in india? :P
  • No doubt is a good looking case, but it really protect the phone?
  • No offense, but I think these are just back covers that don't act like cases.
  • I'm so offended for these cases
  • LOL.
  • Being able to change the back covers eliminates the need for a case, since you can just replace it with a new one at any time.
  • Thank you mozo!!!! Live you long time LMFAO
  • NFC and Qi, yes finally the industry is listening to the consumer. No more soldering my phones, lol
  • $60 for a new back, $100 for a continuum dock, what else? Lets shoot for $1000 Microsoft!
  • Yeah, but a 950, continuum dock and back still cost about $50 less than a 64GB iPhone 6s.
  • You're not forced to buy them, nor are they necessary. Surely there will be cheaper alternatives for back covers (especially if the phones take off) and you can use continuum over bluetooth; accessories have always been an extra cost.
    ------------
    Some countries are supposedly including the dock with the phone
  • Don't forget that Wireless Qi charger too! Haha. There are a lot of accessories for this thing but I see that as a positive.
  • That's a little expensive. Do they ship globally?
  • Metal and leather with Qi wireless charging ...its not expensive when you take into consideration the above and the usual price for an original case/cover.
  • I don't really think that's very expensive for a leather back with Qi and NFC built in. And it'll probably come down in price eventually.
  • Not that cheap, but what I would like is non leather back cover. Polycarbonate with metal combination is for me.
  • I agree.
  • Well thats 3564₹!!!! I could buy a Lumia 520 or a Qi wireless charger
  • Premium accessories for a premium phone!
  • Not sure if I'm sold on the leather look. They make the phone look expensive sure, but like a vintage Bentley; old fashioned. I hope they come out with some more modern materials. And on closer inspection, the red and gold one looks like an old lady's purse.
  • I would personally take a vintage Bentley over a modern one any day (altough I'd prefer something like the Mercedes-Benz 540K Roadster) ;)
  • Hey, old women may want their Lumia 950s to match with their purse. Don't exclude them!
  • I would imagine MS would sell them in their stores. Posted via the Windows Central App for Android
  • Brown leather please.
  • My goodness too costly :/
  • "vacuum metal coated polycarbonate"   In other words, the sides aren't metal, they're plastic made to look like metal. I would be OK with that...if they weren't asking for 48.50€ for them. And no, this isn't because of having Qi and NFC. Both those things come in a sticker that costs you 5€ (I got a few to install on a replacement 930 back and on the G4). And the leather alone doesn't justify that price.   So, the backs are nice. Really nice. And they sure look better than the "stock" version. But they're not 49€ nice. 
  • I just played with the 950XL at my Microsoft store. In my opinion if you don't like the subdued design of it, these covers are almost a definite must have. They completely change the look and distinguish these flagships from the 640/640XL especially from the front. The black is very boring and does not feel premium at all.

  • so you own an MS store. jk. :p
  • Lol only I wish. I would be there all the time.
  • I want the Red one
  • I expected about $50. Calling them "cases" is misleading IMO. Seems more like well made backsides that essentially integrate with and change the look of the entire phone.
  • Egad! I'll be bankrupt soon.
  • And just like that, the "boring" flagship phones look pretty darn premium...
  • Yup. Perfectly accurate. Posted via the Windows Central App for Android
  • Looks like the standard back will work for me. $55 is robbery for a back plate, I don't care if it is leather.
  • Leather, Qi charging, NFC, metallic plating, made by Fins. It's more than a back plate, as with 950/950 XL the side are part of it too (including side buttons). It's made of 'premium' materials, it's not supposed to be cheap but it's hardly "robbery".
  • Great,MS give me one phone 950,i am huge fannn...:P
  • Microsoft needs to fully support Mozo. These cases make the 950 sexier than an iPhone 6.
  • Need a black and silver one but not in leather
  • I just visited the Microsoft Store and held a 950 XL for all of 5 minutes, and then ha​d t​o​ preorder - in black, if anyone was wondering. Once I have the phone for a while, I plan to save up and get the brown leather Mozo case! It's very nice and, although not the cheapest, appears to be of good quality! ​​​
  • I had to cancel my pre-order for the 950 XL. Unfortunately, it won't function under Verizon, so no new phone for me!
  • Why does it say genuine leather and then later "leather"?
  • This is the best design idea ever for a flagship phone. People who complain about the bland black and white can all now shut up. You can have this phone with what ever design you want. Welcome back classic Nokia feature. I may have to buy all of these for all my moods.
  • True that :)
  • So what does NFC included mean.. does this mean the phone does not have????
  • The phone has it, and these cases don't interfere with it.
  • Awesome looking forward to get these babies! Brown/silver and red/gold are mine :D
  • They are awesome looking.
  • We really need this in "rose gold", put Hermes on it and quadruple the price... /s
  • Ho Lee Fuk!
  • I love the leather option but consider just for a second how a full metal one would look like....
  • Colors please Red, Cyan and Yellow. Enough with the black & white only.
  • I want a 950xl version of the 1020 camera grip!
  • I would like the black one with the stitches like on the brown one except for the stitches to be red or blue!
  • I need money yo buy the Phone and the red, and the Black case but i need the Phone to hace the White case. Hahah but im waaay too poor
  • Is this cover available without Qi charging option?
