#How quickly can you take apart and put back together your Fairphone 2 (once it arrives)? I think this kind of competition would help users to get familiar with their new phones, and also help spread the word about Fairphone, as lots of videos of people taking it apart will most likely be shared! A…

Successfully beheaded my phone, thx! (reattaching also successful)

Wohoo! Finally! Screen off for the first time ever today :smile: Massaged to open :wink:

Hi @Hamm325 , for you this “technique” worked, but I strongly recommend others NOT to use a knife or other sharp objects to seperate the screen from the rest of the phone!
