Would you change the back cover colour of your G42?

Now that HMD has almost 100% confirmed that the Nokia 3210 is the next Nokia Original being revived, I hope another thing gets revived with it too. The Nokia 3210 gave us the Xpress cover, the option to exchange front and back covers quickly. That way, you could replace a worn-out cover and have a phone that looks brand new.

The same approach can be taken with modern phones, such as the Nokia G42 and G22. At iFixit, you can buy rear covers for those phones and change them at home. I was thinking of doing the same for my G42 since the one I have is purple. Although I find it looking great in purple, I’d love it more in a different color.

And the only one you can get at the iFixit web store (the only place with back covers for Nokia) for €24.95 is in gray. I don’t mind gray, but wouldn’t it be great if HMD would announce yellow, red, blue, or even peach colors for the rear back part? Some would like to change their back cover just for fun, even if it costs €24.95.

I think this would be a great opportunity for HMD since this specific niche is still not occupied by many manufacturers, and HMD, as a holder of the Nokia brand, even has some connection with the change of back covers.

Would you change the back cover of your G42, and which color would you like to see your device in?
