    They’re possible, but nowhere near as easy. Every time you pop that back off you wear the water protection. Within a year of use my S5 was not IP67 anymore. And all those warnings about it not being fully sealed? Nah. I’ll take a glued shut phone with glue that isn’t insane over that any day.

      Samsung phones do that without a removable back - they just use a shitty design software doing the detection.

      Never had that problem on any other phone.
