I'm surprised at how good these cases look. Hope the actual case is as good as it looks in the pictures. I will wait for those of you who ordered to report back!

I find these even uglier than the Mozo ones. I've been really disappointed in the options thus far. Has ANYONE put out a Qi-compatible replacement back that isn't Mozo's leather stuff? I find those (both the leather and the "metal" band) to be hideous. I just want plastic, colors, and wireless charging. I don't want metal or leather, and I don't want my 950 to look like an iPhone reject.

Found more picture here (https://detail.tmall.com/item.htm?spm=a1z3o.7695460.0.0.amjIOi&id=530436240483).

How do I even buy this? I'm can't read it and Google Translate is not accurate.

I hate to rain on you guys' parade, but looking close at the pics, these dudes seem to have overlooked the mic holes from the back of the device. A shame really, good deal otherwise...

Am I the only who loves the original polycarbonate case? These metal cases seem horrible to me.

I do as well, I just wish that it had come in cyan... which is why I bought this metal sky blue one (except it's metal instead of plastic). For $4.75 with free shipping, even if it looks like crap I think it's a fair price for unknown quality. Mine has already shipped so hopefully will be here soon.

This was the website I found that you can get the nfc and qi wireless components from http://stellatech.com/microsoft-lumia-950-flex-cable-flat-cable-wireless-charging,a,en,822705.html
Get the rear covers from Aliexpress and figure the money conversion. I just haven't gotten around to getting those parts yet. Both parts run under $10 USD and under $20 USD both parts. So for $25 you can make your own interchangeable rear covers that function.

Here is my "review" of the one for the 950

I do see the 950XL one covers all the buttons on the side. The case for the 950 just had a cutout over the camera button which was probably my biggest gripe since the buttons on the case actually feel really good.

Good review, i ordered one for my Lumia 950XL, i guess they should be almost the same, i was wondering does the phone become noticeably thicker than normal? and about the weight? thanks

I despise metal cases on phones. They are boring and utilitarian. I much prefer the colorfulness and potential for more attractive lines that polycarbon bodies provide. That's why I really loved the LUMIA 900, 920 and 1020.

No it is very thin, and very light.

AFAIK, there are no USA sellers. I bought my Mozo Red Leather back cover from mobilefun in the UK.
