Thus I returned mine. I dunno how you can carry this around comfortably with a case on top of it. It's like a brick and most likely to fall on your face one day in bed and give you a black eye. On a side note, (pun intended) is there any difference with the akg headphone in the note VS s8?
P. S. I wish they can put a spen for galaxy s8 size like a mini note. Samsung, I'd be all over that. I love the spen.
It surely is a heavy beast!
And I had to laugh when I read your comment on having it fall on your face in bed. I dozed off while using an 8" tablet about six months ago, and had the corner of it fall right on my eye. It DID give me a black eye and caused a small hemotoma in my lower eyelid that only fully went away a few weeks ago.
The honkin' case I've got on my N8 adds to the size, and I've had to adopt a different way of holding the phone when using the keyboard than what I was used to with my old S2 - yes, I came from an S2 to this monster!
But I really like the size of the N8 for actually using it. It takes up a lot of space when carrying it, and it's heavy, of course, but it really is handy to have the extra size for most use. But it surely does go against the whole idea of having a small, light, convenient-to-carry device.
The weight is appropriate for its size, but it is heavy to hold.
I think we may have to come out with an exercise regime and an app that puts you through a daily workout to build up your shoulders, arms, wrists, and fingers and teaches you "proper form" for holding these phones in ways that don't cause repetitive motion injuries, cramps, arthritis, tendinitis, etc.
Use your phones carefully, everyone!
