Repair/Replace Back Aluminum Back iPhone 5 Cost

How much would it be to either repair or replace the black aluminum back of the iPhone 5? I have about 6 small chips and I am still covered under the 1-year warranty with Apple. Thanks!

iPhone 5, iOS 6.1.4

Apple does not repair phones in general, they replace them. In addition, cosmetic damage is NOT covered. You can elect to pay $229 for an out of warranty exchange if the chips bother you that much.
