You can drill a hole for the headphone jack LMAO
The N 7, whether one prefers an apple device, or any other, remains the most feature rich phone on the market.
In all ways and by any objective measurement.
After that , it becomes one's own personal preferences, and actual user experiences, with each iteration of whatever flagship phone one is dedicated to.
Occasionally, and by exception, some apple folks, and some Samsung folks, and some HTC folks, and some LG folks, get a phone which is slow, has poor battery life, and or some other abberration..........on and on and on......
However, most flagship users love their phones and have great experiences with them
This is true for me, a dedicated addicted S pen Note loving fool.
I have yet, in any way, by any measurement, experienced anything but excellence with the Note series, including my Note 7 1.0 version and now my even better 2.0 version.
Most flagship users, regardless of their phone selection, would echo these sentiments.
Loving my Note 7 !!!
