I agree, the 6S is super fast at recognizing a fingerprint. It is so fast that if I don't want the phone to unlock, I have to use another finger to push the home button. Yes, sometimes I just want to look at the new notifications without unlocking the phone. It is much faster recognition

There certainly is a sleep timer on Voice Dream. To get to it, press and hold the play button. You have choices of setting the exact number of minutes or 15, 30, 45, or 60 minutes. Take care, Lois -Original Message- From: Michelle Bernstein Sent: Thursday, January 14, 2016 6:25 PM

Hi Craig, Sometimes when you update, you end up with the high quality voice, which does sound less natural, to my ears anyway. You can check in settings to see if you are using the high quality voice or the compact one. Take care, Lois From: Craig Werner Sent: Thursday, December 10, 2015

If the case has some give, it will work. I have a Speck Candy Shell case, and it fits both phones. A harder case I had for my 6 did not fit my 6S. It depends on how it is made. I would think the Otter Box would fit both, maybe the 6S better. Perhaps the air pocket issue would be resolved

Thank you for saying that. It works well if you have the phone in your hand and are using your thumb on the same hand to do things. There is no way you can reach the top of the screen unless you use that feature. It's actually pretty neat. Take care, Lois -Original Message- From:
