Stock Camera Protective Film? - T-Mobile LG G2x

I can't tell if there is a protective film on the face of the rear camera (like how there was one on the aluminum band). If it is, did you guys remove it; it seems like it's hard to get smudges off of it. I have tried peeling it off but cant get it to surface...

How to best protect Camera lens?

Hi guys, i was wondering how to best protect the Camera of the DHD? Since its "looking out" of the device...
I planned to just put it in the pockets of my Jeans without any protection, but i figured that the camera lens might be damaged eventually?
So what can i do to protect the lens from beeing damaged??
i found the best way to stop it getting scratch was to get a pair of pliers and pull the lens from the housing. I dont worry about the lens getting scratched any more when i put the phone in my pocket becuase the lens is in my drawer at home
it had a detrimental effect on image quality, but it was worth it

You may as well buy a safekeep , store the phone in it , lock the damn box and never care again.
That would beat your method hands down
Hehe yeah well, i used all my phones without any protection, but im kind of worried that it will brakeaway somehow...
With the HD2 i had at least the leather thingy that came with it.
The HD2 leather bag should fit your DHD too (tried it with my dad's)
I use the HD2's leather pouch to carry around the DHD. fits perfectly.
maybe get a screen protector and cut a piece to fit the lens ??
get an otterbox defender it has a protective plastic on the lens cutout
The defender is a great case but way to heavy and bulky for a normal person. A piece of a screenprotector should offer enough protection.
Or otterbox commuter+ piece of a screenprotector

Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Some screen protectors come with an extra piece for the camera lens.
The Martin Fields Overlay Plus for example.
tbh, all the same I am not sure if the piece of plastic/glass which covers the lens will ever get noticeably damaged.
Previous experience with an Xperia X1 (built by HTC, for what it's worth), without protecting the "lens", I had no problems whatsoever with damage there.

I think something like that could affect the photos.. would'nt even try it
I purchased the Martin Fields protector and it came with a front cover as well as a camera cover. It doesn't seem to have any detrimental effect to the image quality and I feel more comfortable with it on. Only downside is that it's a pretty expensive screen protector D=

[Q] One S camera lens durability?

I searched and found a couple possible answers, but if there's already a thread on this, I apologize. Typical noob behavior.
Is the lens of the One S camera the same glass as the main display? I only wonder because I worry about the lens getting scratched up, and since this phone has such an amazing camera, it's a little more so. I'm going to be getting a screen protector for the main display, likely the Ghost Armor, but I don't want to put one over the lens of the camera, it will undoubtedly ruin picture quality.

I suggest that you get a TPU protective cover for the whole phone, in spite of a screen protector. With a good cover the camera lens doesn't touch the surface of the table, nor does the screen. I mean, the cover is about half a millimeter "taller" than the phone, so when you put the phone upside down (i.e. with the screen facing the table) the screen actually doesn't touch the table's surface.
Besides, I wouldn't use a screen protector because the antifingerprint treatment of the screen is so useful!
Sorry, I should have specified, I did get a TPU cover, I ordered 2 of the Diztronic covers (because every time I find a case I like, they stop making it, so I bought two lol). I kind of want to get one of the Incipio covers, too, just to see if I like it better.

[Q] Nexus 5 camera lens scratches?

Hii I just bought the Nexus 5. I know the camera lens protrudes a bit and its not made out of durable glass. I like the feel of the Nexus 5 and I don't want to use a cover. Can anyone tell me if the camera lens gets scratched?
Thanks in advance
I've had my device for over a month and I only purchased a case last week. I keep my phone in my pants pocket and upon visual inspection, the camera lens hasn't been scratched yet. I conclude that its pretty durable.

I would not take an chance. I have ghost armour on my lense. (Its the button on tje iphone that is round that they put on my camea)
Pictures is clean as ever and if it gets scratched(its not scratched in 10months now) I just replace the protecter.
Rather be safe than sorry
FYI, the lens is internal to the phone. In the back is simply glass and it is recessed. Had mine over a year, no scratches. I cannot say the same for the screen.
Had mine for quite a while now, not a single scratch on the glass itself, but its a bit rough on the bottom part of the ring around it because its where the phone lies when put on a flat surface. Not much of a deal at all. I don't use a case (used one for a week then took it off and never used it again), but if you do then same probably won't happen to you because of the elevation.

On the screen? I had a glass one. It was great but I broke it. I can't actually apply the plastic ones. I went through about £30 trying to apply but were not attractive.
I personally have had my phone since release and have never had a case on it, it has yet to be scratched. If it is, they're micro scratches that I'd have to use a magnifying glass and the right angle to see them. If you feel the need to, I've seen a few protectors (basically circular screen protectors for the glass of the camera). If that gets scratched, remove, replace.

Plastic ones are so bad once you've used a glass one. Will probably never use a plastic one again.

Camera scratches

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.

Stock like TPU case but with better camera protection?

So guys,
I'm looking for a case that is similar to the one provided with the phone, but with a better cover for camera bump. The purpose is to protect camera lens from scratches when putting in table and other rough places.
This one looks like it, but not sure whether it actually protects camera bump. I've asked the seller about it, But I don't think we could rely on that answer.
Has anybody bought something like this please?
https://www.ebay.com/itm/For-Xiaomi...-Soft-Rubber-Silicone-Cover-Case/163332207379
Also secondly, if not the case,
1) Do you think its good to use a tempered glass like protection for camera? Would it affect camera quality?
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Tempered-G...omi-Redmi-Note-5-Pro-5X-A1-6X-A2/202448413656
2) Or what about a soft pouch? like this

Thank you

PZOZ case on aliexpress. Don't get tempered glass camera protector they make all photos look bad.
I have second Mi A2 (first I returned due faulty screen glass) and it came with slightly different case - the first one had full cutout for camera module, the second (I thing updated/revised version) has lip covering whole module, lip over the border.
Anyway, I dont know if it is possible to get this case individually
