And they’ll have something terrible on the back to protect it that doesn’t crack as easily, like plastic or metal.
Joking aside, my brother gave me his old phone awhile back and I used it for awhile, the back was wood. Not sure why more phones didn’t do that. It was light and had no issues with cracking. I suppose it wasn’t as waterproof as phone are now, but I liked it.
His didn’t have gold on it though, maybe it was silver or something
Yarp, a gasket, couple clips and adhesive and you can have a fairly user swappable battery as well.
Though I’d prefer a metal bracket surrounding the wood with a slide in and up push onto gasket mechanism, two screws at the bottom to hold in place. You can lose the adhesive and everything would be easily accessible.
(Think iPhone 4S with gasket)
