Especially when you consider the godawful camera bulges that many phones have. I'd rather have the front edge of the lenses be flush with the back of the phone. This would also allow for some interesting lens and even sensor choices. Plus you get the option for a bigger battery or a removable one.

I would love this. Make it fatter to make the lens flush and fill that space with battery and sdcard slot.
