• The battery is intended to be easily replaced by the user, and requires no tools to access.
• The entire device can be disassembled with readily-available tools.
• Modular design throughout allows replacement of several individual components.
• Minimal adhesive securing the front cover can be difficult to separate, but poses no real challenge to opening.
• Fragile copper grounding tape can be difficult to peel and replace.
• Because the display cable is adhered to the midframe, replacing the LCD requires use of a heat gun.
