Alternative back covers

[PhoenixLandPirate]

The PinePhone features a wonderful back cover, especially if you get a community edition.

The PinePhone's back cover can be taken off, and you can buy a new back cover in the store, however this will be much the same, without the CE logo on it.

One thing I think is special about replaceable back covers, is how you can make a phone more your own, and I think OnePlus did a great job of this back in the OPO, and OP2 days.

You had your default back (Sandstone for the OPO, and I'm not aware of what it was for the OP2), but you could go to the store, and buy a different styled back cover (Black Apricot, Kevlar, Bamboo, Rosewood)

It would be really nice to see different choices of backs, that change the PinePhones look and feel a bit, depending on your tastes.

As per May blog update:

Here is our solution: we will sell custom back-covers for smaller projects featuring their logos in the store. We will charge $15 for such a cover, out of which we will donate $10 to the project. The regular plain cover, already available in the store for $5, will obviously remain an option to those who just want a replacement back for their phone. We hope that this will help smaller projects have a chance to grow and thrive.

If you want something even more exotic then grab a 3D printer - the 3D file is in the wiki.
