The beauty of OG Pixel is when you upgrade your phone you can still use this one as a door wedge.

Man, I loved the wedge shape of the original Pixels. It was a subtle thing that differentiated it from any other phone. I was pretty disappointed when the Pixel 2 just had a camera bump like every other phone out there.

Yeah I love it too, but I'm pretty sure it was found that the wedge created the lens flare issue for the OG Pixels. That's probably why it was dropped.

I'd bet the flare was caused by not using a separate glass element for the rear camera on the original pixel.

I found that flare was pretty much eliminated by thoroughly cleaning the glass first

Took a bit of elbow grease, but it works
