You do, because now all phones have ugly camera bumps and can't lie flat on the table without a case.

Why can't make phones thicker, to match the camera bumps, filling the extra space with battery, is beyond me.

Because most people would put a case on it, making it even thicker? I mean, I spent ~$1500 on my last phone, and while I treat it carefully, I'm not risking it getting smashed so I could never go without a cover.

I would totally use my phone without cover. $1500 or $300 I'm not going to resell it anyway, so scratches and wear aren't an issue. But I'm going to put it on a table a lot and I hate it when it wobbles.

I don't really know why I'm supposed to be upset that the phone doesn't lie flat. It's pretty rare I set it down on a table, to begin with. Even when it is...so what? I can make it jiggle when I poke it, I guess.
