> Consider the moment of impact when a phone hits a hard floor
In my personal experience with cell phones with removable batteries, whenever one of them hit a hard floor, all that happened was that the battery cover and the battery were ejected. You just had to put the battery and battery cover back into the phone, turn it on, and everything worked fine (perhaps with a few extra cosmetic scratches on the phone's plastic casing).

Building IP-rated submersible widgets that have removable parts isn't common in the world of consumer pocket computers these days, but it's not impossible either.
