    They are all closed cover designs though.

    I am not saying it cannot be done. I’m saying that most of us are not walking around with $2000 phones, nor do we want to.

    As a consumer I want a choice, not a mandate. I am more interested in getting an affordable phone myself then whether or not I can opening it up easily.

    But if you want a phone that can do that I believe you have the right to that.

      Phones with battery covers can also be waterproof, it has been done before, we can still do it now. My Galaxy S5 was waterproof and it had a removable battery cover. That was almost 10 years ago, imagine what we can do now. USB ports are waterproof now and don’t require a cover like they did on the S5.
