| [* black] Nexus 4 Repairability Score: ***7 out of 10*** (10 is easiest to repair). | |
| [* green] Removing the back cover requires nothing more than a common screwdriver, a plastic opening tool, and some patience. | |
| [* green] The entire device only contains four different length screws—all common screw types—for a total of only 15 screws. | |
| [* green] Once the back cover and inner frame are removed, pressure contacts make all of the inner components a breeze to replace. | |
| [* red] The battery is stuck to the frame with a lot of adhesive, so removing it without puncturing the battery can be difficult. | |
| [* red] The glass is fused to both the display and the display frame. So don't crack the glass unless you're good with a heat gun, or you're fond of replacing the glass, display, and frame together ($$$). | |
| + | [* yellow] You can find complete display assemblies online for a fairly reasonable cost. Generally about the same as an insurance deductible. If you are faced with fixing a cracked display this is by far the easiest way to go. |
