How is the 6p aluminum look?

For any of you worried about fingerprints. You get no fingerprints whatsoever on aluminum

Love the Aluminum so far. Here's mine just out of the box...

I've since put on a clear case for it (Ringke Fusion).
 
To echo other sentiments, it's definitely nice looking. Feels and looks great. No smudging or fingerprints, which was a nightmare on my white backed Nexus 6.
 
I ordered a 64gb Aluminum yesterday (11/3) via Google Play Store as well ... how the heck is yours arriving tomorrow (11/5)? I checked my status and it says "Processing" Nov. 18-20th.

I pre-ordered the 64gb Aluminum and after on Tuesday after still being in pending purgatory when I woke up, I decided to reorder / cancel the pre-order... logged in, and my pre-order had gone from pending to processing in the previous hour. It shipped that afternoon and I get it *knock on wood* today if fedex loves me. It was pretty quick turn around once it went from pending to processing... the problem was the 3 weeks of pending :(
 
Got my 64GB aluminum last night.

I really like it. Not a fan of white-ish phones so Frost was out. Saw the complaints about fingerprints on Graphite which kind of turned me off, but after having black phones forever I was leaning away from Graphite anyway.

And I actually kinda like the look of the tinted camera glass "bar" in contrast with the aluminum casing. Reminds me of tinted windows on a silver car.
 
How have you liked the ringke fusion? I just got my 6p two days ago (in aluminum, fantastic look) and have that case and a couple others shipping to me next week. Haven't even started using it as my daily driver cause I'm too worried I'll ruin it without protection haha.

Looks gorgeous. My co-worker loves Apple and has a 6S and even she admitted that it is a beautiful looking phone.
 
Here is a pic of the back and the front (it was installing a security patch). Taken with the gf's iPhone 6.

It's great and the camera strip at top is really growing on me. Huawei did an amazing job.

such a nice looking phone, I still stare at mine after a month.

I know the aluminum picks up no fingerprints, one of the benefits, but I have the graphite and it hasn't been an issue at all. All the colors look great this year, gold too.
 
It really is a beautiful look and feels solid well built.
I had a 32 gb aluminum but decided I wanted more storage so I ordered a 64 frost when they finally were in stock.
I love the combo with the chrome edges and black front...no finger prints show at all on either one.

The Aluminum is sexy as ****, and I really miss staring at mine. Part of that is because I'm using an LG 450 until my replacement device arrives (expected Tuesday), but it is by far the best looking phone I have ever owned. (Which is why I got a clear (well, it's frosted) case for it. I didn't want to hide the sexiness and the Nexus logo)
 
Lovey Aluminum 6p here. I have it in the Adopted frost case from Google. The gel case combined with the aluminum look really good.
