Lumia 950 XL original back covers

Hey--

Does anyone know if the original Microsoft back covers for the Lumia 950 XL will be available separately?

Thanks!

Microsoft is not to make any back covers these phones, they are expecting it from 3rd parties, with Designed for Microsoft Lumia program... Also many Chinese versions will be available on eBay in one-two months...

That's unfortunate, because one of the Microsoft squares has fallen off mine.

This is pretty irresponsible on their part, and a money loser. If I have to return this phone, Amazon will be down ?450+ instead of the ?10 back cover. I wonder if Amazon charges manufacturers for warranty claims. If so, considering they usually throw items returned on warranty away, this is a ?450 loss for Microsoft.

That is pretty insane to hear, that the logo would fall off partially. If it's true and not a rare case then we should all be worried. On the note of purchasing OEM back covers, I've seen in another thread that they have them on eBay so why don't you give that a shot? They wouldn't be cheap though, I believe.
