UV stabilised/resistant plastic? - cmicallef - 11-10-2021
Hello again!
Another dumb question!
Given my phone tends to get a lot of sun exposure, I've noticed plastic parts have become brittle.
I'm not to fussed by it given I can by spare parts and support Pine64's endeavors but is this a common experience? If so, perhaps this is something that can be taken on board when manufacturing future spare parts and/or the Pinephone Pro (obviously subject to, among other things, cost considerations).
Thanks again!

Sorry for my slow reply. Here are some photos.
In addition to bits of plastic falling off the screen's trimming and whenever I take the back cover offf, the plastic mounts holding the female brass threaded inserts have disintegrated.
