That leaves the USB connector board at the bottom which i don't imagine will be a problem, and the ribbon cables between them. Perhaps the glue on the black plastic film covering the ribbons won't peel easily, and make it difficult to remove them without damage? I think I'd order the spare cables along with the screen, just in case.

Already put my order in but didn't think of the cables. Will just have to be careful and order replacements if cables get damaged. Fortunately I'm still just experimenting with the Pinephone and am not using it for anything important yet.
