I can only find the frame part of the matte but I can never seem find the back cover or both together?

Where do you buy your mat's from?
 
Are you in the USA? There is no location in your profile.

Mat board is used to make both the mount ('back board') and mats, though the mount board is usually not as fancy as the mat.

What grade of mat/mounting board are you wanting? El cheapo, pH balanced, acid free, or museum archival quality?

I cut my own mats, getting mat board from a local art store.
 
Most large photography and hobby stores will carry both pre-cut mats and mat board. All you need is a ruler and a sharp knife.
 
I use matboardplus.com.
Fantastic service (ordered on Friday at noon and got mats at my door on Tuesday AM.)
Excellent prices that will be cheaper by far then buying anything local if your order is large enough.

I ordered about 2 dozen double mats in different sizes and colors and it came out to about $4 - 4.50 per mat.
High quality, computer cut, mats glued together.
