I don't see why the material stuff created such an issue with some people. I get people wants a device to "feel" like it's worth a lot but at the end of the day the materials used don't matter as long as the device is durable, sleek and functional. I actually like the feel of the S4 because of how light it is and it's the plastic that makes that possible and that's not a bad thing. What will be interesting though is if the rumors are true about the S5 being a metal build phone with non-removable battery, what the argument will be for those that love current build, defended it and touted removable battery as a strong point of the S4. But we have a whole year for that LOL. Right now, the S4 build is perfectly fine.
