listen to me phone manufacturers
i dont care if my galaxy note 2 (or insert your favorite phablet here) is a bit thicker... its already huge. make it a bit thicker. this will do several things:
1) enable you to put a bigger battery in
2) make it less prone to snapping or being damaged
3) make it easier to hold.
thanks
although, to be fair, the note 2 goes all day with everything on and constant usage...
