That was worth mentioning.
I'm with the Canuck, I'm interested, but the marketing speak would be something about "the most even light". They have mentioned how they did the waterproofing by coating everything rather than sealing the case. That's important as when you pull it out of the water, water will run out. What I'm surprised is that they didn't use this to explain why it is so light.

My logic isn't perfect, but with all the broken screens out there, if they went to a plastic substrate, I think the added durability would be prominently mentioned.
