Hello Mark, I don't think you are unique. At least, I've read similar opinions from others on the intertubes. I think that as has been pointed out before, sometimes thinner and lighter can be perceived as not stirdy. However if you also compare iPhone 3GS to iPhone 4S, you will see how the 4S feels better even though the 3GS feels more solid. At least to me it does. Regarding the iPhone 5, to me it does feel comfortable in the hand. If these things keep getting thinner they will reach the thinness of paper and we will need an adapter to plug the headphones into, LOL. Seriously though, odd man out or not, opinions is what helps to drive innovation with companies as new ideas and designs come out with new products. I'd rather not take a chance in dropping my glass iPhone 4S, so I use TPU cases which still allow it to look good with minimal protection. However I love taking it out of the case and holding and caressing it. Yes, I'm probably weird, but I too love the look and feel of my iPhone 4S.
