Another "leak" shows raised camera and plastic bands

Another purported leak, this one from Sonny Dickson, has arisen showing a raised camera lens and more evidence that the dreaded bands may indeed be in the final product.

Assuming, for the moment, that this IS the final product, has Apple lost its design edge? Have they gone to far with the "thinness" obsession... even to the point of horrible battery life and now a protruding camera on their flagship phone?

Personally, I'll be buying the product regardless.. but part of me grows more and more disappointed with each leak. Those horrible lines were bad enough.. but a camera sticking out of the body? I'd MUCH rather have a thicker body, larger battery and recessed camera.

I'm still holding out hope these "leaks" are just of cheap Chinese clones, but the more that come out the more certain this design seems to be. Also, the way the plastic bands seem to be ripped/broken on this image leads me to a whole new concern... will the inevitable wear on the phone result in torn bands on my $800 phone?!

Thoughts?
