What are people doing about screen protectors and the fingerprint scanner? Are people just not bothering? Bit of a deal breaker them not working for me personally.

Have not had one on for years. Unless you're always working in dusty environment I wouldn't bother either.

Ive not had one in ages either and I'm always using my phone when I work on my car too. Probably some hairline teeny scratches on my old phone if ya really look and get it in a certain light. But you would really need to be looking specifically for em.

I accidentally dropped my old phone on gravel face down outdoors a couple of years ago. Hadn't long had it and it saved the phone. Very rare that something like that would happen but for the sake of 10 quid or whatever it's worth it. Not being allowed to have that bit of insurance is a put off for me personally.

Which is exactly what a screen protector would get within a short amount of time.

Do you walk around with a condom on as well ?

A lot of people use cases and screen protectors and in many cases they do the job pretty well against accidental drops. Can do without the childish comments here thanks.

Wow re registering my fingerprints/deleting old has really improved my fingerprint sensor (FPS)

Guess it's because I added glass screen protector afterwards. I also have improved touch sensitivity on in settings.

See my post quoted above. Fingerprint scanner is fine with screen protector. I've got an LK glass one from amazon.

I like to bring my phone to the gym, use it during DIY/walking the dog etc and frankly would rather replace a protector when it's damaged than the phone!

Has anyone got
"NEWZEROL 3 Packs for Google Pixel 6 Pro, Screen Protector High-Definition Soft TPU (NOT Glass) 3D Edge to Edge Full Coverage Soft Protective Film for Pixel 6 Pro - Transparent" from the rainforest for their Pro.
They appear to install the same as the LK ones so wondering if they are the same! I've got the LK ones ordered but they won't be here til December 12th, these are showing mid November at the moment.

I actually thought the childish comment was saying that if you could not not use a screen protector, then that's a deal breaker.

Joking aside you would hate to be a friend, family or colleague of me... If I see someone with a screen protector I liberate them of that burden. Free them from plastic pain

So you got your claim and you ordered on the 26th ?
I ordered mine on the 20th and get this message "Please wait 14 days from receiving your new Pixel before submitting your claim"
How's that work :confused:

Mine went through okay but no approval yet.

On the 1st step it says "14 days from purchasing your new Pixel" and the 2nd bit says "Please wait 14 days from receiving your new Pixel" make your mind up Google

Either way it's working now and approves orders placed on the 19th instantly.
