The Pixel 1 was ever so slightly wedge shaped, you wouldn't notice it but the back slowly sloped up so there was no bump. I like that best, if the Pixel 7 for example had the camera slight higher up and a wedge to make it flush

Weird—never noticed that. Maybe because I had it in a case the whole time.

Yup! I don't like these cameras that stick out. Yes, you should probably use a case, but if you don't, it literally just rests on the camera(s) when laid flat.

No point in designing phones around reckless people who don't use a case imo. But maybe that means basic cases should be included.

That doesn't make sense. Why design a stand alone product that requires additional protection? What other device do we use that is made that way? I don't need to put a nerf bumper on my car

Yeah having a case as a standard requirement is pretty absurd - I mean all the money they spend on premium materials colour and design and then you need to hide it in a case that will age a lot faster than the phone is plain idiotic design

But they’re marketed as being “durable enough” for not using a case
