I have an old phone with a slightly opened back panel, and I'm worried about dust getting inside. I mainly use it as storage and a power bank, but I don't want it to get damaged by dust or anything else. The phone has a case that keeps it somewhat closed, but I still suspect there's some dust buildup. Should I consider sealing it with glue or tape? And could there be any additional risks I should be aware of?

While dust might not be a huge issue right now, it's definitely a good idea to have a case on it to minimize any potential problems. Using air to blow out the dust periodically can help too. One thing to watch out for is if the back is opening due to a swollen battery, which can be dangerous. So just keep an eye on that!
Right, I'd definitely be more worried about a swollen battery than dust. It’s a good idea to check if that’s the issue.
