This model is not as bulky as the original model...but "bulky" is 'specious' (as bulky to one mouth may not be to another mouth). The question in my mind are: a) is there enough of it for your teeth to "seat" into the material, so it sticks to your upper teeth at night when you may be chewing, grinding, and so on...so that it stays put. I have tried several other brands, which have a very minimal strip for the back teeth, and practically a small ribbon of plastic around the front teeth, and they have not seated properly (after boiling for 1 minute, then dropping into cold water, then immediately into your mouth to make the impression). It felt dangerous to me to have something flipping around inside my mouth--what if I started to swallow it?!!And if it won't stay put, it does you no good whatsoever. This model has softish material and your teeth go into it, and it makes a perfect impression of your teeth. So it fits like a glove. The band across the front is strong, but as minimal as they could make it, and still do the job. You can cut this down with sharp scissors, if it extends too far back in your mouth (beyond your back teeth). The original model told you to do that--I don't know whether the instructions for this model do or not, but it is easily done. Just pare away small bits until you get where you need to be--but don't be incautious and whack too much off at one time--it won't grow back :&gt;) I'd think a small mouth would mean, in this model, that your troubles would only be with the front to back measurement, and that can be whacked off at each end. Since the material allows your teeth to sink down into it, your jaw is not held open at all.

I am 5'2" and petite, and I find this thing bulky and not really made for smaller mouths. There is no way I could sleep comfortably with it in, I could barely close my lips over it because it protruded in the front and on both sides. Yes you can trim the back, but that does no good if the width is too wide as well. A waste of $20.

I thought I had a small jaw and it is fine. Also, apparently if it is too long you can trim it, but I haven't had to do that.
1167424
No. Once you fit it to your mouth, you can trim the excess towards the back to keep it from being too bulk (just be careful as you don't want to take too much off!)

No, it's much smaller than what I got from the dentist years ago. The main problem is keeping it from the dog who will chew it up

I don't feel that is too bulky. Mine weighs 2 lb 10 oz including the keyboard, tablet and a stylus. It measures right at 1 inch thick. It works very well. Among other things I have used it to update our church webpage on it..I have also used word, excel and power point as well as surfing the web and e-mail. The keyboard has worked very well for everything I have tried.

No it's not slim. It's quite bulky. It's for someone working construction or drops it allot.

no, it does not feel bulky, it actually holds it's upward position pretty well, it's lightweight..

For me it is. It's well padded so if you bump in to things or drop it, your camera will be protected. I don't think it's bulky at all. Have fun at Disney!

Its not bulky at all. It is very cheaply made though and has an odor of chemicals.

It may be a bit bulky but it isn't heavy. There are several hand holds available so you should find one that works for you.

Not at all! That was a primary concern for me as well, and I was so pleasantly surprised at how unnoticeable the case is. Not bulky in the least!

I can't say what's "normal" because I have the same issue after roughly the same time of use. It's very bulky. I'm almost to the point of concluding that the thickness of the separate pieces, combined, cause my teeth to be too far out of alignment for comfort. The longer I use it, the less I like it. I'm about ready to try an athletic mouthpiece, and simply align my teeth to the same location as with this "adjustable" guard, when I do the first heat-compression.

It doesn't surprisingly! It fits comfortably in my hands ( I text with two thumbs) . It doesn't feel uncomfortable or get in the way whatsoever. Hope this helps c:

Calls are fine. I took off case the other day just because and was amazed at how small phone was. I would say its bulky but I'll take bulky and protected over small and vulnerable

I think it may be too big. It even feels big for my mouth and I am 50. Perhaps you can check the over the counter mouthguards they sell for young athletes. Good luck.

Not really, depends on what you consider bulky. I like it because I can carry my flash and four lens counting the one on my camera. It also has a slot for yor IPad or Tablet.

Of course everyone's perception is different, but I do not consider it very bulky at all. It is not nearly as bulky as an otterbox if you are familiar with them. Feels good in the hand too.
