Can we expect cheaper (lo-fi) other halves?

Okay, say I just wanted the backside of my phone to be black instead of white. And I didn't need new ambiences or other fancy stuff, because I like to customize these things myself. No smartness or NFC needed, just a single piece of quality plastic.

From that point of view, 30EUR for the Keira other half seems to be a not-so-good deal for me. Plus shipping it's nearly 10% of what I have paid for the phone itself.

Will there be cheaper lo-fi alternatives from Jolla? Or am I misjudging production costs and it is actually not possible to create a lower budget other half, which is still robust and qualitative?
