I personally hate rounded corners and shadows added everywhere. Makes most things look crappy and smudged.

You can make the screen have perfectly sharp corners but have subtly round edges in the glass. Also... If phone manufacturers actually cared about the durability of their display, they'd add things like a rim around the display or a little chin. And for the back they'd use soft-coated plastic for the back like on their own older devices. Instead they are producing slippery, all-flush glass sandwiches.

I used both of the phones linked above and while they're not super-pretty, they were extremely practical at the time. Using a bumper seemed so silly with these devices. The Sony in particular fell on concrete so many times, without the glass ever shattering.
