  • Plastic opening tools make cracking the Nexus shell like cutting through butter, thanks to its retaining clips around the perimeter of the device.

  • One millimeter.

  • That's the difference in thickness between the 9.4 mm glued iPad and the 10.4 mm retaining-clipped Nexus.

  • That's the difference between being able to open a device and service all of its internals, and not.

  • That's the negligible difference between extending the life of your device through repair, as opposed to tossing it in a landfill.

  • And most of all, nobody will complain about that one millimeter difference in day-to-day use, but the user-serviceability it brings will make all the difference when the device breaks.
