I thought the phone thing was dumb until I realized that everyone (who’s not made of money or trying to pretend they are) puts them in a case anyway, so designing it to fit in a case makes sense. Probably keeps the camera from being as shaded by the case itself, for thicker ones.
(“Well they should just build the case in then” eh, the customizability and the way the case can ablate damage and be replaced is pretty good UX)

- JohnFen 3y agoI am neither made of money nor pretending to be, but I've never used a case on my cellphones, and I have never had a phone break for the lack of a case. If a phone requires a case in order to be functional, that's a badly designed phone that I won't purchase. I wouldn't purchase that particular phone anyway, though, since it sounds like a lot of emphasis was put on the camera, and a camera is something I don't value in a phone at all.
