So I've had my pixel from launch and there's one small thing that's driving me insane. The abundance of hairline scratches on my fingerprint sensor (first world problem I know) the scanner still works just as great as it did when I got it with the exception of all the scratches. Meanwhile the larger window of glass on the back is in damn near perfect condition. It's been In a case constantly. How can just the sensor be scratching, is it made of a different type of glass? And how is everyone else's holding up?
How scratched up are your fingerprint scanners by now?

Ive got two to three on mine. The glass panel is a different story. Probably around a thousand scratches on the glass.
Scratches occur if you try to keep cleaning the surface with just about anything. So avoid cleaning the glass part on the back including the fps.

None here. I keep mine in a Spigen case, so the FPS is a bit more recessed, but it's in my pocket with keys, change, etc. all day.

I don't have a scratch anywhere on my Pixel and hope it stays that way. I've always had a full screen tempered glass and slim case on since day one.
Mine is always in a case too with a tempered glass screen protector, but had to take it out yesterday to swap SIMs. The rear glass and fingerprint scanner are still in great shape, no noticeable scratches, but there was a scratch on the one side beside the screen. Don't know how it go there, and its probably only noticeable because my phone is black.

In the same boat as these people. No scratches on it. I would advise maybe putting a case on your device? sometimes if you leave your pixel lying around it gets scratched on small pieces of dust.
