The passcode doesn't let you get rid of the hideous screen cut-out, which seems to be primarily for this lock.

You would still need it for the normal front facing camera (look at the Essential Phone).

The cut-out also has the speaker, front facing camera, and ambient light sensor, or would you go without those as well?
