The rear case is very easy to open, granting trouble-free access to the internals.
All the fasteners found inside are Phillips #0 screws—one non-proprietary screwdriver is all you need.
The glass panel is fused to the front plastic frame, meaning a heat gun is required for replacing cracked glass (or you have to replace both components together).

The front panel is now glued to the rest of the device, greatly increasing the chances of cracking the glass when trying to remove it.
The LCD has foam sticky tape adhering it to the front panel, increasing chances of it being shattered during disassembly.
The battery is very securely stuck down to rear case, and you have to remove the logic board to remove it.

There's no proprietary screws or fasteners in the machine -- everything comes out with a spudger and a couple of Torx screwdrivers.
LCD and front panel glass are not fused together. That's great news for folks unfortunate enough to drop their Xooms and crack their glass.
Everything is accessible but somewhat inconvenient to repair -- there's just a lot of labor involved with removing that many screws.
