  • Two screws and some mild adhesive are all that stand between us and picking out the plastic midframe.

  • As devices shrink, manufacturers are turning to adhesive instead of screws or clips.

  • On the whole, this has been bad news for repairs—but in this case, LG seems to have found the secret recipe that balances construction strength with pry-ability.
