Noticing microscratches on my G6 power button/fingerprint reader already...

[willypguy]

Wondering how durable the power button is....just noticed a few microscratches on it when looking at a certain angle with light..

This may sound silly, but did you remove the plastic from the fingerprint button? It's hard to see.

Huh? There's plastic on the home button??? I've had mine almost a week and haven't noticed a plastic, and looking now I still don't see one.

Most LGs have them on the fingerprint sensor. Worth a check. Try with your fingernail.

I just checked mine and if there's one there it's the best protective plastic I've ever seen or felt because it's as if it's not there. In fact I'm pretty sure it's not there lol.

Ok. Well worth a shot. I would have thought for sure the fingerprint button would have held up better than that.

If it's Gorilla Glass 5 I'm not shocked. I know the back is GG5 but they don't state what the fingerprint button has. The camera uses 4. GG5 scratches super easy which is why I'd never go without a case.

My don't come with one and I'm on T-Mobile.

Ok good to know. My G5 and V20 did on Verizon. Flossy's G6 did.

Now that you mention flossy I do remember him saying the fingerprint reader was slow until the end of the video he came back and said he had to remove the plastic. I wonder why ours don't have the plastic.

Plastic won't make it slow... Less accurate possibly.

That's what I mean. Slow because it wasn't accurate. He was having to hit it multiple times.

It really doesn't look like there is any plastic on the power button. I did see Flossy's video and that seemed to have been either an unlocked model or T-mobile.

Did anyone who purchased the Verizon version in black notice any plastic on the power button?

Mine is from Tmo and it came with the plastic as well.

Corning is losing their touch it seems.

Well this is weird. I cant feel or see any plastic on mine and either its on there so well its invisible or I took it off and dont remember doing so.

I think its more worrying about strength over scratch resistance. With curved displays you have to be more impact resistant and sacrifice the scratch resistance.

There is plastic on the outer rim of the FPS. Once you remove the plastic off the back, it all comes off.

I must have removed mine and forgotten I did.
