Are there any websites selling original Motorola Moto g5 rear housing (Gold)? I am yet to find a company who make them, all I can find are cheap knock offs which don’t look particularly nice.

@kleebs witrigs did sell those https://www.witrigs.com/oem-back-cover-f...

But they are now sold out. And I think you cannot find any OEM rear cover for moto G5. If you did or do find it somewhere else, ping me I’m interested.
