Do you think the camera lens touches whatever flat surface you pit a naked nexus s down on or is of slightly raised?

Actually it does not. Look at the back of your phone; there is a slightly raised lip around the camera lens. That lip makes contact with surfaces but the lens does not. Your lens must have been cracked by impact.
Actually it might...Its really f***ing hard to tell where my ghost armor ends and where the battery door starts ><
I think its slightly raised, noticed that the speaker is slightly raised as well, just to make them even with the bulging bottom.
Google Nexus S Body (Back) Skin
You can buy Best Skin Ever screen protector. I bought the back skin and it comes with camera lens skin, which is very easy to apply. As for the back skin, it may differ based on your skill set.
The lens is recessed.

I've had this phone for about 3 weeks now, and i just noticed i have couple small thin scratches in the lens of my camera. Scratches doesnt affect picture quality yet, but if it keeps scratching at the same speed soon all pictures will be blurry.
I'm wondering is it possible to replace the protective glass in front of the actual lens. Anyone done it before? How much does it cost?
same problem here too
same problem here !
wonder if there is a protection case for the lense like a sliding mechanism to close the cam for protection like at the good old nokia 6680
There are few listings on eBay for Galaxy S camera modules, but looking at some of the pictures, they don't seem be sold with the front cover.
Anyways, why don't you put a piece of clear tape over it ? I did that few days after I received my phone. Didn't notice a difference in image quality.
I'm using Realook screen protector and it comes with camera lens protection film as well (x2). Works great.
I've had a silicon rubber bump case (covering sides and back) since end of July on my SGS and don't have any scratches at all on the lens.
I bought this after the plastic 'black-nickel effect' bezel marked in my pocket on day one of owning it.
It keeps the lens about 1.5mm away from pocket surface.
I work in the buidling trades and my pockets get full of abrasive dust.
I stopped using a screen protector after a couple of weeks when I found out screen was definitately gorilla glass. So far so good.

What I done when I had my Galaxy in its silicon case was I folded the screen wipe cloth up and placed this over the lens. The case held it in and this made sure that nothing scratched it while it was in my pocket. I quickly ditched the silicon case for a leather pouch which has a soft lining.
It's kinda pity that Samsung selected a regular glass for the rear camera lens, and not the same glass as they put on the display.
Even before I got my phone I purchased an SGP Ultra Oleophobic screen protector, It also came with a 100% clear film for the camera lense and its working great!
mine dirt is inside the glass a white tiny particle
Hello everybody,
I noteiced the HTC One S seems to lens itself to easily scratching the camera lens which is made of poly carbonate material I heard - which I believe to be very attractive to micro scratches.
I bought the phone second hand but since I got it I've always used a protective case which makes the camera no longer flush with a table or surface it's resting on.
Can anyone confirm if this will have a detrimental effect to photo quality / video quality?
Probably not, the lens cover will be too close to the lens for any of the micro scratches to actually be in focus/visible.
I just looked at my couple month old phone and see zero scratches. While the lens does protrude, the metal ring actually sticks out farther, so just resting it on a flat surface won't scratch it.
Oh man! I was wondering what material was used on the camera lens. Why couldn't it had been gorilla glass's corn whatever thing they use on the screen!? The HD7 had a lot of scratches on the camera. Surprisingly enough, none of that ever showed up on pics. I can't really tell the difference but maybe it could be clearer? Idk looks good for a phone's camera.
I don't want my baby's eye scratched up.
So its very obvious that the camera lens snags on everything and will end up scratched or broken.
I just put an Illumishield protector on the screen and I actually like it, as opposed to other screen protectors. I noticed no noticeable difference in image quality from the front cam when the protector is installed. Would some similar material work on the rear cam lens to keep it from getting all scratched up?
Can someone who knows a guy, who knows a guy, pass the message along to make a nickel sized circle of good quality PET film to stick to that huge camera lens?

As the LG G2's camera lens is sapphire, I wouldn't be surprised if the N5's camera glass is also sapphire, meaning the last thing you need to worry about is scratching or breaking it.

I hope you're right about sapphire, but until this is confirmed, I am gonna assume its cheap glass to go along with the cheap plastic.
I know some people say that the build quality is good, I personally think its a bit subpar, even compared to the N4.
I also realize that to cram these specs into a 400 dollar phone they have to cut corners somewhere.
The camera is underwhelming to begin with, so I am not counting on anything durable as far as the lens goes.
See my thread regarding the camera lens material. Well the camera lens cover. I don't think it's sapphire due to the shear size of it. The G2s is much smaller. Sapphire costs a lot.
Personally I'm going to buy a case so the lens cover is not sticking out miles to be scratched. Poor design choice for sure!!
Let us know what case you end up buying.
Slightly off topic, but for anyone concerned about this be aware that a camera lens protector needs to be severely scratched for it to affect your image quality. A thin scratch even through the center of the lens will not show up in photos.

I agree about the scratch resistance (if indeed the N5 lens glass cover is sapphire), but sapphire can break as easily as glass or even easier.
According to Corning (makers of gorilla glass) "Gorilla Glass requires about three times more force to break than sapphire after both materials have received similar wear and tear".
Even through I always have cases that leave the camera behind I noticed my camera is getting tiny scratches all over. I'm scared at some point it will affect the camera quality so I would like to know if there is some "easy way" to remove those scratches (and safe please)
No way I'm aware of to remove scratches. However, you can buy glass lens protectors (like mini tempered glass screen protectors) for the camera lens of these phones on ebay. They are like two bucks for a three pack.
I tried to get a TGSP for the Camera, but it was plastic, not glass, as claimed and it would not stay affixed.
I got a GadgetShieldz vinyl skin and it seems to be doing a better job and staying put.

I think removing the scratches actually makes more sense than any protection skin, since the skin never covers the viewfield of the camera and only scratches on the lens itself have any impact on picture quality...
Do a search online for: OEM Camera Glass Lens Z2 Play
Camera glass cover is replaceable and available $1.99 online. I picked up several and treat it as a wear item like a screen protector.

What is the process for changing?
Heat gun > lift > apply new lens cover > heat gun > press?
Any additional glue needed?

I've bought the Spigen rugged armor along with the phone since a year. It is not too thick, solid (phone fell 3 or 4 times), and no camera bump ! Never got any scratches

No, it means the opposite this case gives a slight extra thickness so it's not in contact.

Is it possible to remove scratches with buff?
I never had scratches on the camera tbh. Remember, the only thing that's gonna scratch your camera is sand, diamonds or other hard stuff. Metal, wood, plastic etc shouldn't leave scratches.

Use a skin if possible, the lens flair is a bag of clankers as it is without adding more glass over or near the optics for light to bounce around.

The Ringke one you use protect the lens area too (I mean over the lens) or the whole lens frame except the lens area (I mean with a lens cutout)?
I used one that covers the lens area too for my OnePlus 7T phone and it had a flare effect while capturing subjects/frame that contains strong light sources, especially the sun.

I do mean lens flare, i am sorry i spelt it flair and confused you.
Just speculating but it looks like it is caused by the plain glass covering the primary lens and not the optics themselves which do have an anti reflective coating. Given how badly the Pixel 7 and 6 series handle lens flare i would not put anything on the camera bar with the faintest chance or making it worse by scatting even more light.
Of course this is all just my opinion, it doesn't make it right or a matter of fact.
I have Nillkin case which protects lences as well.

Great case, just cant really be used with any screen protector (and they say that...). Put too much pressure on the Whitestone glass....
I've never had a screen protector or lens protector since my first smartphone in 2010. But, my phone stays in a belt case (turtleback). I don't shove it in my pocket or anything like that.
I shove it in my pocket always but it's the only thing in there...
So all I use is a case, in case I drop it.
