I have taken it apart as far as i was willing to go. Some of the flat band cables are glued to the frame, especially the bluetooth antenna is glued on, and the antenna connector to the mainboard is hot glued in order to avoid it falling off over time.
The build quality seems pretty good. IPX 7 seems to be achieved by silicon gaskets on all kinds of parts. It is possible to take it apart and put back together without jeopardizing the waterproofness.
Compared to the Xtreme, the 2 allows much better access/replacement of the battery, should this become an issue in the future.
