    It will be a pretty major redesign of the chasis and body to accommodate a removable battery and the cover, so I think it would make little economical sense to maintain two designs for every phone sold here.

      I’m wondering how ‘user replaceable’ is defined. Will we get backs that just pop off, or do they just need to be easier to replace? (No glue or proprietary tools required)

        Could also be 4-6 small screws and a tiny sealing ring, to keep the water protection.

        The general idea is, that people without experience have to be able to replace the battery on their own easily and without special equipment.
