    Yeah, loving that blue. My FairPhone 4 needs repair, and getting replacement parts is difficult; I might just wait and trade it in for the FairPhone 5. I kind of need an LCD display, and this looks like the most premium LCD phone we will get this year (i.e. not a three year old Snapdragon 695).

      Also, it would be nice if FairPhone actually teamed up with Otterbox or Poetic or UAG … anybody to provide a ruggedized case this time around. My frame bent and dented and the battery cover is torn.

      Huh that sucks. The repairability as an argument for sustainability is not a good one if parts are then not actually available to do repairs. Repairing it during its warranty period is only one half of the coin.
