Superglue Removal Experiment - Why The Nexus 7 Case

I've been asked why I close the Google ASUS Nexus 7 case on which to apply eight drops of superglue, so I can try to remove them.

In my view, for my experiment to be even remotely scientific it needs to be:

reproducible
use available resources
straight forward
have an end point
work to a goal

Nexus 7 android tablets are readily available. Although the inside of the case is smooth plastic, the back outer surface is a kind of rubberised material and has a rubber like feel.  This surface is definitely rough and is likely to absorb and hold the bonded Superglue.  It may even have its surface covering compromised and changed by the superglue.

Here are the 8 individual drops, magnified significantly:

Superglue Droplet 1

Superglue Droplet 2

Superglue Droplet 3

Superglue Droplet 4

Superglue Droplet 5

Superglue Droplet 6

Superglue Droplet 7

Superglue Droplet 8

So there are the 8 drops of bonded superglue.  Number 8 is my control and when all other things have been tested I will then try a proprietary superglue remover.
