I have the 8 and I find it so frustrating. It makes the phone uncomfortable to hold and pocket

I would think the camera bar would make holding the phone easier, is that not the case? I have a note 20 ultra and I find cases with horizontal camera cover sliders significantly more comfortable to hold than those that try to make the camera bump less noticeable

It would if it weren't a sharp corner... I got the pop socket to keep my fingers away from the bump

Interesting. I guess it's different strokes for different folks. I'm not a fan of the bump on the naked phone but I also have a Spigen case and actually appreciate the bump.

The Pixel 8 is a little big in my hands so with a secure grip, to me being fingers on one edge pressing the phone into my palm, I can't reach the full screen. It's also uncomfortable to hold it that way for long periods. So often I have the phone with my fingers on the back and my pointer touches the bump, keeping it from sliding, even at steep angles. I don't find the corners harsh but maybe they have worn down somewhat so they are no longer as sharp?
