The moisture-proof coating looks janky to me. Like someone dabbed a bit from a hot glue gun and called it a day.

The batter in the Libra 2 is in the same location as on the Libra H2O and holding the H2O was never an issue, and never felt off balanced.

Between the two I don't even notice the shape, size, or weight.

I'm super excited about the SD Card. It allows for options and possibilities that eMMC just doesn't.
