	[* black] iPad 2 Repairability Score: *2 out of 10* (10 is easiest to repair)
	[* green] The LCD is really easy to remove once the front panel is gone.
	[* green] Only standard Phillips screws were used -- no Pentalobular or Tri-Wing funny-business.
	[* red] The front panel is now glued to the rest of the device, greatly increasing the chances of cracking the glass when trying to remove it.
	[* red] The LCD has foam sticky tape adhering it to the front panel, increasing chances of it being shattered during disassembly.
	[* red] The battery is very securely stuck down to rear case, and you have to remove the logic board to remove it.
	[* red] You can't access the front panel's connector until you remove the LCD.
+	[* black] Historical note: We initially awarded the iPad 2 a 4 out of 10, but in the process of writing our repair manual realized that it was far more difficult to repair than originally suspected.
