Funny, I had the Note 2 and sold it because I thought the phone was too big. But the 1520 seems to be just right. I almost always 2 handed a phone no matter what size. Hold with my left and type with the right. I've had both for a few days with no problems, and they do have a 14 day exchange guaranty, but also a 1 year manufacture warranty. I used mine on my first one, it crapped out in just 3 hours. But the second ones been going strong, and almost perfect, except for the touchy screen. The other one I have, I have only turned it one once to unlock it, other than that it sits in the box.
