Moving the NFC reader?

[Dequed]

I recently moved over to a google pixel 6a for that sweet CalyxOS. I previously daily drove a moto x4 that was GREAT! especially with NFC, but now... with this pixel, the NFC is moved to the center of the phone, which presents difficulty in using my yubikey.

 

Is there a thin module that I could possibly sandwich between my phone case and the pixel? I want to move the NFC to any of the edges. I basically want a thin module that sits on the pixel's NFC location and one that allows me to NFC from either edge of the pixel.

The quick and easy solution would be a short usb cable in which you plug your yubikey in.

Why try to modify your phone... when a cable can fix your issues. I'm sure there are shorter cables, too.

Welp, I had to re-arrange my keys that are in my keyport key case to accommodate google's OTG adapter that came with the phone. Hopefully, I don't lose it... like I did with another adapter I had before.

 

I much prefer moving the NFC though, no risk of losing the adapter. Luckily, the adapter that came with the phone seems to have good grip.

Just buy spare otg adapter and put it in your daily bag / wallet / something.

They're cheap enough
