The back cover on my L5 is still in pristine condition, but I can imagine it getting scratched and scuffed with time. I could even see the tabs that hold the cover in place break off. So I was wondering whether Purism will start selling replacement back covers somewhere in the future. If so, any c…

As I said, it’s no urgent matter. No need for direct support. I was just wondering what Purism’s plans are. And I would really, really like the option to add some color to the L5 :grin:

Mine has some chunks missing (since luckily when it drops it often falls on the back - good design!!) I would buy! $$

My Windows Phone(s) came with optional replacement back covers (not too expensive). For my last phone I had two black ones, an orange one, and a white one. They were easy to switch, and they protected the phone pretty well, without adding bulk. For the phone before that, I even had a rubberized bac…

Nice! Now bring on the color versions and the transparant ones :wink:

That could potentially be arranged by the Purism community: [image] Librem5-Chassis/librem-5-back-cover.step · master · Librem5 / 3D_designs ·... Various 3D designs for and of the Librem 5. [image] Something fun to the store Purism and the devices just ne…

[image] wimdows: Nice! Now bring on the color versions and the transparant ones IMO: There are specialty spray paints for plastics that you can buy in stores catering to modeling planes, cars etcetera. Harder to find but there are also peel-&-stick sheets of various colours, and images. My i…

[image] wimdows: the color versions I think there were color options when they 3D printed the back of mine. I chose generic gray, though. Honestly when I tried to switch back to an official Purism backplate from the 3D printed one I could hardly stand it. The 3D printed one is loose so swapp…

I wonder if it’d be feasible to 3D print a back cover that also functions as a “case” which helps to mitigate heat. Or… would it be possible to create an entirely new enclosure shell and just move the parts into that? It seems like my main complaint is always going to be heat generated when using t…

[image] muon: It seems like my main complaint is always going to be heat generated when using the phone. I’m just hyper sensitive to it I guess. There’s something inconsistent about this for me. Sometimes it’s putting out a lot more heat than other times. At least in how it feels – I’m not al…
