I have to agree with you. I love that feature, and it seems to be working much better for me today than it was yesterday when I got it for whatever reason.
Truthfully, there aren't many features I don't love thus far. Now that I'm familiar with the device, I'm searching for the perfect case. I've got a cheap clear plastic one on it right now, just for normal wear and tear - I'm not too concerned about drops. I hate it, though. It sticks to the back cover and looks incredibly tacky. I'm strongly considering the Spigen Neo Hybrid, just worried about the bulk it adds to the sides.
