While they were happy with what the fairphone 4 brought to the table, they seem to like what was changed for the fairphone 5.
What are you guys' opinions on this? A welcome change? would you get one if your phone died within the next year?

I have just recently bought a FP5 as well and I wouldn't trust myself without it. Without a case it's pretty slippery. And just because it's easy to repair the screen doesn't mean I risk it getting broken more than necessary. So the 34 Euro I paid definitely was worth it. Especially considering it's made out of recycled material.

I feared that the fingerprint reader would be hard to reach with it, but luckily it works pretty well. A slight touch is enough to unlock it.

That's why i put on a screen protector. It protects the screen, realistically the only external part that matters, and doesn't really bulk the phone.
