So if I understand this correctly:

  • plastic cover that can be removed with fingernails: ✅
  • cover with phillips screws: ✅
  • cover with hex screws: Maybe ✅? How "Basic" are Hex screws nowadays?
  • cover with Apple certified™️ screws: ❌
  • cover with Superglue: ❌

Hex screws are pretty standard. I'm not a lawyer, but I'd imagine they would be acceptable.

That being said, I never understood the reason to have 5 different types of screws around. Can we just have one type for everything?
