    Everything went wrong when we stopped making phone casings out of rubber and started making them out of hard materials. Who looked at this dense, fragile and mobile electronic device people carry all over the place and thought “this should be made out of glass”?

      I like the plastic ones that fell apart when you dropped them too hard.

      Sure it sucked putting the battery back in but I’m pretty sure it did a great job of absorbing impact so the phone didn’t break.

      You can’t trust the beneficence of Apple. Right to repair to them actually means Right to sell repair kits with only Genuine Parts exclusively sourced from Apple. It’s just another profit center for them.
