The ad itself depicted a mechanical crusher destroying artifacts of human creativity. A trumpet, guitar, sculpture, piano, drawing board, paints, a metronome, several analog cameras, a turntable, and hi-fi equipment were among the much-loved items yielding to the machine’s unstoppable force.

    I got a pixel 8.
    I’m really enjoying it.
    But the camera doubles the thickness of the phone where it is.
    And the case I have for it just gave up, and made the whole phone+case that thickness.
    I’d have liked the actual phone to be that big, have a bit more battery - maybe even replaceable battery, a 3.5mm jack at stuff like that.
    At some point, things get too thin to hold and use comfortably. I think the Nintendo switch highlights this, whereas the steam deck is much more comfortable to hold.

      What case is that? I was thinking of getting the Pixel 8 and was looking for a case like you describe but didn’t find any

        It’s a quadlock case, so it kinda makes sense for it to be thicker. But previous phones/quadlock combos haven’t been as thick
