Crack on top of back cover perpendicular to headphone jack

[mryan55]

Hi all --

I was hoping someone else with a Lumia 950XL could check their back cover for me. I'm not in an area with a ton of access to see another 950XL in person.

There is a small hairline crack in the back cover, on the top, that it perpendicular to the center of the headphone jack. It looks so perfect and straight that I can't tell if it is something that is there on all 950XLs or if it is something that has cracked on mine.

Does every 950XL have this? Hopefully someone can check theirs for me. I have the white back cover, and I imagine that it would be more noticeable on the white model than the black one.

I've had mine in an Incipio NGP case since day one, but I guess with as thin as the back cover is that it is possible it cracked.

Someone keep me from going crazy... haha.

My black 950XL cover is not showing any cracks or lines.

Same.
OP: If you're close to a MS store bring it in and perhaps they'll do good and replace cover.

Ha, that little piece of plastic back cover on the screen side around the headphone jack is broken off for me within like the first week! Cracked pretty quickly then a whole piece cracked off!

I did have a chance to visit my local Microsoft Store today and the demo 950XL on the floor also showed this issue. I'm not too concerned about it. I always have mine in an Incipio NGP case any how so I can't see it getting any worse. It might just be another reason to try a Mozo black leather back cover.

That little piece of plastic back cover on the screen side around the headphone jack is broken off. Correct. I have a white cover. Chunk gone.

Well then it seems like the best solution will just be to live with it then! The $50 replacement is just going to do it again. Guess that confirms I should just try a Mozo replacement !
