They should actually sell the two parts of the cover separately! That would take modularity to the next level!

My first impressions of my new slim cover:
- solid and good quality material
- white side good grip
- fits well together
- easy to handle
Comparison to old cover:
- shape makes it look thinner
- I think the old cover has a better waterprotection than the new one
Summary:
- slim cover: more âelegantâ and goodlooking
- classic cover: better protection, âoutdoorâ cover
I like them both

EDIT:
Cover came in a small package which fits into a mailbox. But due DHL I had to sign the delivery.

To be honest, I find the shipping costs for just a cover quite high. I wanted to order a new cover today but the shipping would cost 7 euros (I live in the Netherlands). Because of the size of the cover I expected it to be send by postal mail? It would easily fit through my mailbox. And I cannot imagine the cover to be very heavy? So for everyone who has received a slim cover: is it delivered as a package? Because then I would understand the costs.

Shipping costs are for me 11 Euro !!! (Germany).
Thatâ ridiculous for a 30 Euro Cover.

Have you tried if a German reseller sells it with cheaper shipping costs?

Or you could try to organize a #groupbuy.
The only retailer in Germany selling anything other than the phone is vireo. They have the slim covers in stock and sell them for 34,90 plus 2,90 shipping⊠Iâd rather buy it directly at Fairphone then tbh, but I also have to say 11⏠shipping for a cover which really shouldnât need to be signed for and fits in a normal business envelope is far too much! Fairphone should really overthink their shipping policy regarding accessories. :â(

I suspect that the sole reason why Fairphone ships everything at the expensive rate is that some select parts (and the complete phone itself, of course) legally require that shipping method and for whatever reason they just apply that shipping method to each and everything, even to the most riskproof parts (shipping ten FP1 screws to Germany is 11.01 ⏠⊠arrrrgh). I really donât like the thought, but my guess for the âwhyâ is ⊠simplicity on the shopâs and the warehouseâs part.

Got my new case in today and Iâm very happy. The phone feels better in the hand and it looks better and gives the phone a more quality look & feel; ok, that is subjective, but it works for me.

As my case is sitting in Brussels somewhere, I am very excited about it. Thanks for the info, I very look forward to replacing my broken old one. 
The INDIGO slim cover is now on stock in the Fairphone shop.

Hm, the indigo one does not look too shabby. Pity, I ordered the white one already.

Transparent sounds fine, blue translucent would be a dream⊠

You are right, Douwe, Tastes are different. But the new colors can be attractive for girls, but not for us, mature boys
Give us some serious and solid colorsâŠ

I wonder what speaks against a wider collection of colours? Is it the possibility that some colours are not very popular and then end up in a corner at the warehouse?

Why donât we just all order the white cover and then color it the way we want to.

It will be problematical, if we want transparent / translucent
