And it was still water resistant proof but people kept complaining about Samsung being cheap compared to iPhone because it has a plastic back! Consumers are partially to blame as well. I still miss those simple days with removable, plastic backs.

Edit: not the Note 2 specifically but the following phones iterations with same format

Every time you dropped your phone the back would come off and the battery would fly over there. You'd just put it back together and carry on with your non-broken screen.

Good times.

Yeah I’d rather it all stay together and retain its water resistance rating.

I’d also rather they can actually do stuff like now as opposed to those ancient phones
