Is there some secret competition going on between phone makers, who can make the most obnoxious camera bump and get away with it?

>>butz+(OP)
Is a camera bump really that much of an issue? Most people have a case on their phone anyway

>>struan+O
The case argument really solves everything whenever someone brings up poor choices

- Annoying glass back that scratches immediately and slides out of your hand- "just put a case on it"

- Undersized battery that won't last a day - "you can buy a case with a battery"

- The phone wobbles when you lay it on a desk or nightstand - "most people use a case anyway"

If we're meant to make our phones twice as thick, why not sell it in that form factor? Stuff that extra battery in there, make the backside grippy, and have it be able to lay down without being like a 4-legged chair where 1 leg is longer

I've never used a case on any phone. They're big enough as it is (in the xy dimensions). I did try it out of necessity when needing 2 phones in 1 pocket (work and private phone) for a week during a work trip. It's doable but just why
