imagine someone bumping into you and the battery gets slightly dislodged, your $700 does-95%-less-than-an-iphone device has now shattered on the floor

If it’s even halfway decently engineered, why would it shatter? The total package weighs 55 grams, the front part likely less than half of that, and it doesn’t have large glass areas.
