Okay so at the very least I'm going to need to remove the plastic protector and get a glass screen protector on it. Hopefully there are some quality ones that have a nice oleophobic coating on them.

I have had mine for over 6 months now. I put in my jeans pocket and walk and sit with it all the time. No bending or breaking. If I am wearing really snug jeans I can't sit with it when I am driving my car because it jabs my groin a little. I take out of my pocket when I drive most of the time anyway. But I walk and sit with it in my pocket all the time in my normal Levi's 560 jeans, with no problems. I have one small scratch on the back of the phone. Not sure how it happened. I think I brushed up against something hard one day when I was carrying in my hand. I have no plans to remove the bonded factory screen protectors. They aren't so bad in my opinion. The single scratch on the rear is minor.

Anyone know how the battery life is generally speaking compared to the Z1? I currently have a nexus 5 and was looking to upgrade to something with a bigger battery and microSD card.

I read the speakphone was only mediocre on some reviews. I also see that on the spec list that it has stereo speakers. Is this true? Are there two? Are there any solutions to getting more volume out of the speakers?

The volume mod does WONDERS. The stock ZU is so quiet, really disappointing. With the mod, the phone is loud. I don't think it's available for the GPe. Don't quote me on that though.

Are there dual speakers? Where are the speakers located on the phone? The back or bottom?
