I think it is the combo of a large phone, thinness, and aluminum. Note 2 and 3 are the same size, but they are made with plastic and thicker. Note 2 and 3 does not bend. What ever happened to Apple's liquidmetal technology? I thought it was something like metal that acts like plastic?
Most of my jeans have deep front pocket, so I think I will be okay. When I am sitting, the phone is actually pretty straight.
