Indeed!
The glue is so easy to peel off BTW. It’s that soft rubbery stuff so the letters really do just peel off, and with a craft knife you can lift the glue off without damaging (it pulls away). It’s really not suitable for this kind of use. Am not sure why they opted for this solution over printed letters since they went to the trouble of embossing/molding the letters into the case.
And how did that not come up as an issue when the staff have had them in their hands before mass production?
Not a question for the forum, but as an advocate of Fairphone and the objectives, it really isn’t the best example of longevity planning.
