I didn't want to risk port side first encase I ended up breaking the plastic where it gets thin in places. The "plain" side to me seems to have the most rigidity just by having fewer cut outs.

No idea, but it seems like something they need. I imagine the second batch of PineTabs could bring with it a bunch of problems once people start opening up their devices more.

It would be hard to mount them in the same amount of space, but not impossible. I guess the "clip" method of securing the back cover is well tested from other devices like the PinePhone. I still wish they had investigated this some more.
