I don't think people put cases on their phone to make them thicker. I think they use cases to increase durability. Making the phone itself thinner means that the phone in a case will also be thinner, so that's perfectly compatible with the claim that people prefer thinner phones.

- falcolas 7y agoIn my case - in the case of everyone I've chatted with that has a camera bump - it's to reduce the risk of damage to (or caused by) the camera bump. Otherwise, most of them would get a significantly thinner case, the rest getting no case at all.
- baddox 7y agoInteresting. I've never heard anything about camera bumps having any effect on durability. Why would this be the case?
- falcolas 7y ago1) Sharp corner in a material - creates a weak point. 2) when set on a flat surface, it creates an unstable bridge, meaning downward pressure on the phone is not supported. Think of how a piece of cardboard would react to being pressed down in the middle with only 3 of its corners supported. 3) It creates a point that can be snagged when moving the phone around, either on clothing or surfaces it's set on. Personal opinion, it's really frustrating to have a phone that doesn't sit flat on a surface, to be unable to easily use it without some kind of case or holding it.
