• This is a preliminary score, given that this Rift is essentially a beta product. We'll know for sure once the real thing is released down the line—but here's what we've got for now!

• Standard Phillips #1 screws are used in the headset and control box, making both a cinch to open.

• Standard clips around the perimeter make separating the front panel pretty easy.

• Two foam adhesive pads holding the LCD in place were a tad annoying, but easy to re-adhere during reassembly.

• The entire device can be taken apart in less than 10 minutes.

• Kapton tape is used to hold some cables in place, which should probably be replaced with new tape if the product is disassembled.
