Oh man, HTC 10 was the worst phone I owned in terms of repair-ability (I even saw one phone repair place explicitly saying they don't support that phone). Not only you risk screen (primarily) and other components damage. You can also break the phone in subtle ways when putting it back[1] and reopening it back is again tough because you need to unglue the screen first to get to screws.

Having a builtin validating code as one commenter mentioned would be a godsend, but nearly all companies do everything they can to make customers not want their phones repaired.

[1] things like some sensors not working, accidentally clipping the tape with buttons, touch screen being funky (although that likely was due to non genuine screen), or my favorite - gps working but never able to get exact location)

I destroyed an iPhone 6 Plus screen one time reassembling it. Apparently I switched a 1.7 mm screw with a 1.3 mm, and when I popped it back together then entire screen (which wasn’t working for touch anyway) shattered.
