8+ SG Fingerprints

[jmtks]

Hi,

So I managed to get a look at the 8+ finally yesterday and was really impressed with the phone, not as thick and heavy as I imagined and to be honest felt like the ideal weight to me. I've always gone for black iPhones but inherited a white bezeled once and have since sought to go back to black. Loved the look and feel of the iPhone but the only thing that bothered me was the fingerprints on the back, they show completely.

How have current SG owners got around this? Do you have cases that still shows the phone in all its glory but absolves the possibility of fingerprints?

Also the Taptic Engine was way different that I imagined, I really don't know if I like it or not - probably too soon to tell, but what's the point of it?

Thanks

Here are a two other threads discussing similar instances.

The point of the taptic engine is that is it quiet and does not make a buzzing sound like the previous vibrator. It make the new home button even better and it will not wear out like the previous moving home button.

As far as finger prints, if they are going to bother you, get a case that shows less printing. Finger prints are a fact of life and black phone enclosed with glass is going to have it's share. An iPhone 8 on display is going to be really nasty, I would suggest washing your hands afterwards.
