Do you use the phone without a protective case? I find that most cases are designed so that the bump is flush with the back of the case.

That being said, I prefer thicker cases like the Otterbox oder Spigen Tough whatever series, so I could see how such a case would be "too much" for someone.

Every phone I use a case. And every case I use, any camera is at least slightly recessed to protect the lens.

I've never given the slightest crap about bumps because its going in a case, and the only people I know who don't use a case are the same people walking around with broken screens and lenses.

So I've never understood any review about how a phone looks without a case. That said, I also like 3.5mm jacks, SD cards for expansion, and replaceable batteries. I don't care about shaving 1mm off the thickness, 1/8th of an ounce of weight, or any of that nonsense.

I hate what Steve Jobs has done to technology (and the world, considering what a piece of total garbage he was as a person and how many people idolize that d-bag).

Anyway. /rant.

I share all those opinions, so your rant saved me some potential typing in the future.

I wish mine was. I use the Spigen Liquid Air, which is a pretty great case, but it doesn't solve the bump issue. I prefer thinner cases, and I specifically avoided the Pro because it's too big, and a big case would kill a large part of why I got the non-Pro model.

I have both an otter box and a spigen to try to make the bump more comfortable. The otter box is better. The bump still sits so proud so as to be annoying

On the 8 Pro, the bump is recessed relative to the Otterbox case (given the "tough" Otterbox model for the 8 Pro, no idea what it's called)
