The fingerprint on this pixel is extremely unreliable and unsecure. It doesn't really read your fingerprint and just acts like a tap to unlock button. People were able to unlock their 6A even with someone else's finger. This explains why Zack didn't have any problem unlocking it using his rough fingers.

[@ajchairez3478]

I prefer the way the 6a back plastic feels more than anything of the other pixels with real glass backing. I picked this up a week ago for $299. It felt so premium yet still light weight that I thought it was glass. I immediately ordered a case on amazon but it was delayed for some reason and I was forced to use it naked. It feels so good and it has the perfect touch of one hand usability. Since it was so cheap I decided to permanently use it naked permanently except for nights I planned to drink. I'm wondering if there's any minimalist case of skin out there that replicates the smoothness of the back plastic? Also, any recommendation for smooth screen protectors? I'm aware there's a feature that increases the touch sensitity when you throw a screen protector on. Does that feature successfully do what it's intended to? I'm actually going to raise the sensitivity now and will get back with how its feels if you turn it on when not using a screen protector. My last question is that if there's not a case or skin that can replicate, does anyone know if anyone who sells back screen protectors? I'd wouldn't to mad if I dropped it and cracked, but at this long I wouldn't like it because this thing has sentimental value lol
