BraveHeart back case cracking

[murak]

My condolences. New backcovers should be available later this year me thinks.

The crack is either a productions malfunction (the plastic injected in the mold might have had a flaw right where the crack appeared) or might be the result of how you are taking the cover off. Are you putting your thumb like I do on the picture below?

New backcovers, unless they are redesigned (design or manufacturing flaw) are not a permanent solution IMHO. I don't think I used excessive force. A new back cover that fails in a month or two is not going to work well. One thing for Pine to consider is that the PinePhone with it's switches needs a more robust back design that other phones.

I believe you about the excessive force thing. Then time will tell if this was a isolated incident caused by a manufacturing flaw or if it indeed is a design flaw. Either way I hope you enjoy your brave heart pinephone =)
