Impossible to find covers for the Mate 7

The Huawei Mate 7 was launched in SA about 4 weeks ago but getting some sort of protective cover or case for this mobile device is proving to be impossible. It would have been great if the agents had warned the patrons that although the device is available, there are NO covers available to protect the handset. Better still, before taking your product to market, make sure that covers are available to your supporters. I realise that you are the manufacturer of the handset and not the covers but you know when you are launching what product. Let the manufacturers of the cover know in time, please. Is that asking too much?????
