Change the back cover

Want to change the colours of your phone? You can change the back cover and use a matching software theme. Buy extra covers from a Nokia authorised dealer. Download themes from Nokia Store. Some themes are free of charge, others you need to pay for.

Press the back cover, and slide it off.
Slide the new back cover on, and press to lock it into place.
