But Google doesn't insert ads into your email. They display them alongside; there is a difference. Personally, the fact that a machine algorithm is matching ads to my emails doesn't bother me. That is a red herring. The real concern is that they *all* (MS included) track who you are and what you are doing. Not that I'm so concerned about it that I'll stop using Google...

I was wondering the exact same thing. Assuming you could extract the components undamaged, how reasonable would it be to 3d-print a replacement case? With the growing number of 3d printers available at consumer (ok, sub-$1000) prices, I can imagine a growing market of 3d models for replacement cases. But not having a 3d printer myself, I don't know how feasible this is from a model perspective or durability of the 3d-print material.
