Case Interviews Over the Phone Discussion Thread

Hi all, I have a first-round phone interview with a tier 2 coming up in the next week (non-target). It will be 30 minute behavioral and 30 minute case. I was curious about what to expect? Should I expect no exhibits since it is a phone interview? Would that mean more math read-out for calculation as opposed to diving into exhibits and drawing insights? Any other big tips?
