Really excited about how well project ara is looking. I know it will be much bulkier than a sleek integrated flagship but I would not mind.

"Ironically, Vault is a fully open-source device" nothing ironic about it more eyes see better besides everyone can see for them self their is no back door's. Their whare some microcontrollers recently with hardware encryption accelerators & really cheap prices... I wonder did they pick them? They are even suited for IOT.

Vault...open. Just a little joke.

I'd rather have something a bit sleeker in this form factor since it's going in a pocket. Anything tablet sized or bigger I wouldn't care as much - I had always wished whitebooks had taken off. Anyway, what about durability? If you drop it, does it resemble a lego accident? If not, how is it secured together? Screws? Clips? A big "case" that binds it all together? (I hate cases.)
