I could go on blah blah.  My only question is does anyone know of a ETA on back cover https://pine64.com/product/pinephone-bac...46c16e2e66  availability?  


thanks everybody

There's a STL that will allow you to print a replacement cover your self.

Where are you located, maybe I can print one for you and ship it to you?


Hello and thank you for your reply.  I am in WA state (USA) if that helps.  I will totally pay you for your trouble and the shipping!  If you are able to I'd take 2 or 3 even!!  3D printing is so cool Smile   I am also confused about the power / volume buttons.  Are they a part of the back cover?  Or part of the phone?  When they fell off there is no apparent place to attach them,  they just sit in the plastic holes (once cover is attached they work).  Just have to be very careful and patient when replacing the cover.................maybe super glue?  Anyone else experience problems with the buttons falling off?
