    Does the rear hinge cover come off the lower case? Need to replace it. Would like to know if I can get a lower quality lower case since this is the only part I need. Thank you

    Unfortunately it will not come as a separate part. The whole bottom case will need to be purchased in order to get the black part of the case with the hinge covers. You could try to find a damaged part for sale on ebay and try to replace it on your own bottom case. I don't think it's worth it to be fair and if your really need it, a used bottom case on ebay or other site would be the best bet.
