I charge $500 for my consultation fee, I'll mail you the bill.

Oh my god just get a case with edges above the phone's screen, problem solved.

I mean, sure there's that little indentation in the finish between the two portions but that's to be expected. I don't see any sign, either in the video or all the pictures I've seen, of a physical gap that could cause any sort of damage.[/QUOTE] There is a gap when the DAC AMP module is attached, like my post stated.
[QUOTE=Lemmingston;49812469]There is a gap when the DAC AMP module is attached, like my post stated.[/QUOTE] That's an indent, not a gap. You're welcome to your opinion, but I think most people in here agree that it doesn't look that bad, and I don't believe it's worth arguing about something so subjective for any longer.
I'm normally an iPhone/iOS junkie, but that camera module has me very, [I]very[/I] interested.
[QUOTE=Giraffen93;49811904]...not a bad idea actually but it would probably get bulky, never had any cases for any of my phones[/QUOTE] My G4 case adds a 1/2mm bevel around the edges of the glass, 1mm of thickness on the back and sides, and has a kickstand. It's very sleek and also stylish. You can find a huge selection of thin durable cases online. This is what I have: [t]http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/71d8y9-YEnL._SL1000_.jpg[/t]
Cool but I wouldn't call that sleek and stylish
[QUOTE=maxolina;49824214]Cool but I wouldn't call that sleek and stylish[/QUOTE] Well, I disagree.
that case looks like it's trying really hard to be Iron Man merchandise
[QUOTE=Giraffen93;49811904]...not a bad idea actually but it would probably get bulky, never had any cases for any of my phones[/QUOTE] Get a slim otterbox case. I bought my girlfriend one for her G4 because she breaks phones like anything and its worked perfectly. I don't understand how someone can own a phone without a case, I drop mine constantly and a slim rubber case protects it so much
im worried how cases will work with this sliding mechanism. I keep my phone on my beltclip, so I hope this phone manages to get a case with belt clip suppoty
[QUOTE=da space core;49827613]im worried how cases will work with this sliding mechanism. I keep my phone on my beltclip, so I hope this phone manages to get a case with belt clip suppoty[/QUOTE] I bet you'll have to take it out of the case. There might be some with the functionality but my bet is that they'll be clunky. It's not really a big hassle though, regardless.
I was betting on the possibility of this for a couple years now with LG. Most of their designs are contact based, so there is very little wiring or flex-cabling. So seeing them going modular is not very surpsing to me at all. I loved my G3, I especially love the V10. To be honest, i like where the G5 is going.
For those worried about compatibility with cases and stuff with the modular aspect: I'm gonna go out on a limb and assume you're not supposed to/going to leave the expanded modules on the phone 24/7. But rather put them on to use them and take them off when done. Like, when going on a wilderness hike you put on the camera module and keep the phone in a padded camera case, and when you're done you put the regular battery module back in. Or only use the DAC module when you're watching a movie or listening to music without headphones Yeah?

Like zerolemon? It'll be fun to see how they'll make one for this
