The Lumia 950 and Lumia 950 XL smartphones from Microsoft are scheduled to be released sometime in November. That's also around the time Mozo's impressive looking cases for those phones are expected to start shipping. The company has now launched pre-orders for the high-end cases, all of which will priced at €48.50, or about $55, and Mozo will be shipping worldwide.

Once again, here's a quick description of those cases:

  • Genuine leather
  • Premium finishing with vacuum metal coated polycarbonate
  • Easy charge with QI wireless charging included
  • NFC included
  • Removable back cover (replaces Microsoft´s original cover)

Shipping is worldwide including U.S. and Brazil. There is no word if Microsoft and the Microsoft Stores will be stocking these accessories, although they have in the past.

The Mozo cases will come in Black, White, Red and Brown colors. Will you be buying these cases to go along with your Lumia 950 or Lumia 950 XL purchase? Let us know in the comments.

Update: Due to high traffic many people are having issues getting to the site. Our advice: try again later or wait until Mozo fixes their servers.

  • Haven't decided on buying one yet
  • I've ordered 3 different ones for my 950 XL, it looks like I'll get these before the phone
  • I'm getting the XL and a nice big otterbox/military grade case. I work in a warehouse and ride/train/jump horses.. My 920 has been through hell and back and my 1020.
  • I still can't preorder my 950 in the US. 
  • will not pre-order, i will make sure phone 950XL is in hand before buying. Must buy unless someone comes out with something better by that time
  • This.
  • This. X2
  • This. X3!
  • This. X4
  • So conflicted on these. On the one had, the red cover looks vibrant, and I would love to add a metal rim to my 950XL (once I get it in Nov.). On the other hand, I just don't like the feel of leather. I prefer something with a smooth and consistent texture. Bonus points if it's "cold" (i.e. metal). I hope this company, or another one, quickly comes out with a metal rimmed polycorbonate shell. :)
  • Agree.
  • Maybe if enough people request it they could definitely do it as I'm sure there are plenty of people who agree with you.
  • Agree. Would love something like this
    http://www.concept-phones.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/Microsoft-Lumia...
  • Exactly! But also in "bold" colors. And by that I mean colors like the red leather, not the typical bright and cheerful colors. I find ones like the shade of the red leather shell to be much more striking. 
  • So basically an iphone with MS logo? lol
  • From what corner ur sayin it iphone
  • It does kinda look like the old iPhones (pre-6)
  • Huh? Nah, you sir, need glasses.
  • Can't say any of these interest me. Personally not a leather case kinda guy. Was hoping for more conventional cases like they've sold for pretty much every other Lumia model. Just a simple cyan case is apparently too much to ask for,
  • Completely agree...I thought I was the only one who thought these looked hideous. I just want a bright green or orange OEM shell... no weird leather or third party crap.
  • Some would say lime green and orange are hideous. Matter of taste and opinion.
  • Exactly, not a leather type too. But if they offer cyan cover with those metal sides, I am sold.
  • These aren't the only cases being made.
  • Would be nice to have a wooden option like the moto g has. Would love it!
  • I will not be buying this case (since you asked). Nothing against them - I never buy cases.
  • Its not a case, its a back cover replacement.
  • its not a case, its a replacement cover :)   but yes i agree. I'm not keen on leather. maybe a glass backed with metal rim would look good?   I'm wondering if this company have any inside knowledge on the release of these phones? I'm now kind of hoping the 950s will get released the same week :)....
  • I'll pass
  • I need the phone since I haven't decided if it's a 950 or xl. I ordered both.
  • They look awesome.
  • Won't preorder, but if these are the only 4, brown leather.
  • Ordered red leather with gold rim for Lumia 950...thou it cost me 64€ as shipping to India is expensive....thou I think 950 will launch 1st week of Nov and they ship only on 16 Nov :(
  • 64 euros??? I think you should have waited at least until the official announcement. Who knows.. May be they might partner with some other here. In my opinion, 64 euros is a little too much for a back cover.
  • Bear in mind that these have a Qi wireless connectivity and an NFC so wont lose them when you replaced your original cover.
  • Is it me or is the store not loading
  • Ordered mine in red for the 950
  • Not a fan of the four options shown, and the site's not loading to see if others exist. No interest in leather, especially in those colors. Regardless, I still don't know which phone I'll be getting, so I can't go and buy a case/cover just yet.
  • Think Il hold of. See how long it takes these lumias to come out. I'm really caught In the middle Of these or blackberry priv.
  • Why a BlackBerry?
  • It is an Android phone built by Blackberry. So it really isn't a blackberry at all.
  • Damn. I haven't looked at the Priv at all unitl just now. It is a sleek looking phone. Like an updated version of the Palm Pre+, which I loved. Or the Dell Venue Pro, which I never had. Too bad it is running Android. It is a good OS. It's just not for me.
  • Wow these are pretty handy
  • I think all of the covers look great, but, they'll be of no use if I'm going to put a case on the phone anyway. :P
  • Ordering mind in black leather.
  • Plastic with a thin coating of metal. Just like transformers guns from childhood...
  • Polycarbonate interior with a metal coating.
  • $55 for casing?.....I'll wait a clone from China for $5
  • Good luck getting a leather cover with NFC and Qi built in for $5.
  • I'm not going to preorder because I won't be getting my 950XL right at launch anyway, but I will be picking up either a black or tan one once I get my phone. Hopefully the store loading problems are due to high demand rather than crappy servers.
  • The leather one could be a bit more unique. Looks plain.
  • I'd hop on this, if I had some guarantee at&t were selling 950xl. Other options are go with 950 (ugh) or hold onto my 640XL a bit longer.
  • Could always hold onto your 640XL and sock some money away to buy the XL outright. I was already counting on AT&T not having the XL, so I moved over to Cricket and am going to put the savings into a 950XL fund.
  • And the site wont even load my order for me  
  • These look great but I hope a maker comes out with more feminine options. Maybe a plum colored leather? Or a rosegold metal?
  • My wife would love some feminine options.
  • Try Amazon.  They already have some very feminine cases/flip wallets for the 950xl listed.
  • I'll be waiting a little 1st
  • Will order once I buy 950. Those white and black leather looks hot!!!!
  • Does anyone know if Mozo is making a camera case with screw mount for more convenience of proffessional photography? would be nice for such a great camera on such a device.
  • I've ordered 3 different ones for my 950 XL
  • I want something like wood or carbon fiber or something from polycarbonate but with a star wars design
  • ^ this man has good taste!
  • I second that.
  • These looks cool. Those who loves Windows Phone but not really the Lumia-esque design, can choose one of these to change the looks if their 950 and the 950 XL. They look premium too.
  • Just gives us the blue shell from the prototype please.
  •   If they don't do one in cobalt blue, they are missing a huge opportunity (cyan is too light and will look dirty fast).  
  • Idk. I've had my cyan 920 for 3 years and it's still very pretty and clean looking. I would get a cyan colored case for the 950xl.
  • +1
  • It would be nice to have an all metal back and sides. I have a lumia 925 which is nice, but I wish they would have made an all metal phone. The polycarbonate back is getting a little creaky at the edges.
    I actually like the 950 XL. with its polycarbonate body. Feels nice and sturdy.
  • Metal back means no wireless charging. That's why your iPhones don't have them now. Same as the htc one all metal family.
  • Matte polycarbonate back with metallic rims would be nice. Hope mozo or other company makes one.
  • These are now available for pre-order on Amazon's UK site too.  Less server problems. :)
  • If it comes in Orange, than hell yeah! I want to to match my wireless charger
  • Do these replace the buttons on the Lumia 950 as well? Or how does that work?
  • Yes. It replaces the back.
  • FINALLY GOT MY ORDER IN FOR THE BROWN!
  • Same here brown for the 950XL
  • Undecided between brown and red!
  • I want that red, but the gold trim is a deal-breaker for me. First world problems.
  • Sweet! Just ordered 1 black xl, 1 red 950 and 1 white 950. Let's hope the phones ship soon.
  • Anyone know whether these add thickness or bulk to device itself?
  • I just don't get it. Expensive phone with beta software and no apps. Redmond plan is to skip design and expect people to pay extra to have any design. Nokia legacy gone for good at MM due micro managing of Redmond. Well Nokia design legacy lives in Nokia.
  • Digitec in Switzerland has them also listed for 48.80 CHF, which is far more reasonable than paying 10€ just for shipping to Switzerland. Ordered mine there
  • I want a cover that makes the sides rounded like the 920. I love my current 930 but mostly because of the specs, when I tried win 10 on my old 920 recently I realised how much nicer the 920 is to actually hold.
  • I would LIKE to order this, but the lack of the sexy metalic microsoft logo on the back, and that ugly mozo stamp on the back are making me think twice. Hopefully Microsoft makes some official high quality backplates.
  • Just print a sticker of it and stick it... :p
  • Already 5 of the 8 different back covers for L950/XL are sold out. They must love Microsoft at Mozo for their mediocre design ;)
  • These look nice but the price is way too high for a case IMO. $50+, really? What are they spun with gold threads?
