Manual Exposure Adjustment

Once the film has been loaded, you should avoid opening the film compartment at all since instant film is light-sensitive once the dark slide has been ejected from the camera. Keep in mind if you exposed your film by accident while loading it into the camera or by opening the film door while film was in the camera, the other first few film sheets will be exposed but the others in the compartment should have been protected from the light by the other film sheets and still be usable. However, this will depends on how much and long your film was previously exposed to light.

When these sensors are covered, your Instax thinks there needs to more light than it actually needs. Even though I understand that the design of the camera is part of the charm, the bulkiness of it does make it hard to carry around.
