- drewzero1 3y agoExactly! I had really hoped that would catch on, but I only ever saw it on some Nokia Winphones and cheaper Androids. The glass back is one of my least favorite features of modern phones and metal isn't much better (pick your poison: shatter, dent, or scratch). The 5c was also a bit of a callback to Apple's white polycarbonate era and some of my absolute favorite Macs. I even saw some renders of a translucent replacement back for the 5c inspired by the original fruit iMacs[1].

- LegionMammal978 3y agoFWIW, Samsung used a plastic back for their basic Galaxy S21. I like it personally (less slippery than my old S7 Edge), but it seems to have been controversial among the user base, and they switched back to glass for later versions.
- drewzero1 3y agoThanks for the tip! I'll have to watch and see if it gets Lineage eventually as I don't really care for Samsung's software, but by the time I'm ready to replace my OnePlus it might be a contender.
