I was wondering if anyone knew where I could buy a tempered glass protector for the lens of the S6. The camera lens sticks out quite a bit, and I have my phone in my pocket with keys and other objects.
On past phones such as the Note 2 and 3, the glass has always been scratched, to the point on my Note 3 where it hindered the sensor.
I bought the full body and it came with a full camera lens and hole cover. All the other full body kits leave the hole uncovered.

The cover is just plastic though and not temepered glass right?

Yea it's plastic.
Dude you aren't going to find anyone who will manufacture such a small piece of glass, they can barely create a good fitting one for the front screen.

I was just asking because I know that in the past, Niilkin used to make glass covers for the camera for the OnePlus One, and for the Note line.

Dude you don't know that and shouldn't try to discourage him. Maybe a local glass shop might be able to make you a small piece.
Not quite glass but a aluminum might be a solution.

Anyone has other solutions? I live in Europe and I want to buy the lens protection from some resellers like Amazon with quick shipping.

Is the skin any good? Is it just to stop the phone getting scuffed?
These look interesting! I like the idea and adds even more customization
Although Dbrand does have skins where you can select the camera lens with your skin
I am researching a protective cover for the lens glass cover. I just had to pay $65 for a new cover, and was told at the store that this cover is very prone to breakage in the Galaxy S6. They replace them all the time. Anyone know of a clear protective cover for this?

Just bought one. We'll see how it turns out. $0.99 isn't too much to lose if it sucks.
Sorry i'd post pics of it on the phone but I don't own an S6 anymore. Mine was a tiny metal ring around the camera lens. I felt safe enough to use the phone without a case with it on. The only thing is you gotta align the protector properly or it might block the camera.

Let us know how it goes. The only issue I can see happening is it impacting picture quality / focus / etc, but I'm sure it has been at least slightly tested before they made it

I doubt it. You could just get a cheap $1 screen protector for any old phone from ebay (not an anti-glare one) and cut it to fit, however you risk losing some functionality of the heart sensor if it is obstructed.
Alright. Finally got the thing in the mail. I use the Ringke slim case and the Nillkin glass screen protector, and I am very happy with the look and feel of the coverage and protection. Adding this thing on was a bit of a disappointment, Without the case, it is like wearing a ten gallon hat on your knee. Painfully obvious. It sticks out and leaves a gap between it and the phone. With the case on, it isn't so bad. It stays beneath the lens protecting "bump" of the case and it doesn't interfere with photos. I have ttached pics with and without the case to illustrate my thoughts on it.

Hey All!
Quick question. Got a new Dot View case for my M8. Also got cheap screen shields from VZW. When the screen protector was on, the case would not close fully, took it off and now the case closes perfect. I have a Poetic clear case coming in, with no flap that covers screen, and I would like to switch back and forth. Does anyone know of any screen protectors that work 100% with the Dot View, allowing it to close FULLY?
Thanks!
I've been asking the same question. Hate how HTC left zero wiggle room on their dot case closure myself as well. Someone mentioned the Mime Feather tempered glass protector. Just got mine in the mail yesterday and going to install it later today. Hopefully this works. I too would like to switch between cases as dot view isn't oratical for me everyday use but cool for certain occassions. Hope this helps.

Will do. Should know by tomorrow and will update. Let's both cross our fingers here.
Well that was a waste of $30. It closes maybe .5mm more than the $8 Chinese generic tempered glass .3mm thick protector I originally had on it. Yes this protector is crazy thin but obviously not thin enough. Guess HTC really did make it impossible to have a protector on with this dot view case cus no protector is going to be thinner than this one! Looks like we're SOL! Weak

Thanks for sharing. This blows. Lol
Anything thicker than a simple thin layer anti-glare screen will probably cause issue.
Example: Tempered Glass adds so much thickness the screen no longer fits correctly.

Your first dot view case? U where able to switch it out cus it didn't close all the way with protector on screen? Can u explain please? I know Zach is thick like the generic tempered glass, .3mm when my Mime Feather is like .1mm
I'm waiting for some generic knockoff ones to come out. Shouldn't be difficult for companies to reproduce right? It just uses a magnet or something to allow the phone to know to activate the dotview app.

Nice. Picture above looks pretty flush. Gonna have to pay a visit to the Verizon store then and swap out.
It seems as though the trend for screen protectors has shifted towards a lazy cut where they just chunk out sections near buttons/speakers:

I think this is ugly and looks cheap.
I'm HOPING to find a tempered glass protector that doesn't have halo and isn't cut this way.
If not, I would prefer what I believe is PET (I just know that I don't like thermoplastic polyreuthane).
Normally, I would just end up going to eBay and looking at the cheapest ones on there which generally met my needs in the past, but are now all being cut like the above.
Has something changed recently that prevents manufacturers from having a more precise cut?
Can anyone help me find what I'm looking for?
It's weird, there's tons of properly cut ones for the edge but not the standard S6. I found a couple though.
How about this?

Hey thanks for the links. Unfortunately, I'm in the US.
Is it odd that all these protectors are being cut this way or am I the odd one for caring?
Try these, not glass but almost perfect fit and good price, I would have put a link but i am not allowed to not having enough posts yet anyway its on amazon UK Anker® High Definition (HD) Screen Protector. the other option is the tempered glass screen protector from Remax with the thin black, white or gold line around the outside. Possibly the best option is this from Ebay, I am waiting on it, item number 221796267947

Nope I'm the same. I also wanted a screen protector that would cover all the metal and I don't understand why they're not cut to cover all around the speaker and lens. At the moment, I've got a cheap protector on. It still means that the top area of metal is exposed to potential scratching.

I am the same as well. I got spoiled with my OPO and my tempered glass protector only had a cutout for the speaker. It looked very much like nothing was there. I am not a fan of these glass cut's where they have these giant ass cutouts at the top and bottom. I know you can close it out the manufacturers just don't because it requires much more precision I guess.

I also think that the screens of the devices also require some sort of attention; there needs to be special cutouts so the protector can lay properly. I'm not sure how it works, but you are most definitely correct. I know that with the iphone 6, my wife had difficulty getting one that would lay right; mostly because of the curved edges of that phone.
Just ordered the glass cut out one from eBay UK looks great and exactly what I was after.

Great stuff Do report back with your findings, like if it's easy to fit, does it stick down or stay stuck down all the way to the edges, and does it cover both screen side edges completely. These seem to be the criteria that people often complain about. If so, I'll get one myself.

You might want to consider another protector though.
I asked the person who bought it if it's any good and he said "It stays down but the sticky adhesive doesn't go to the edge so has caught dust unfortunately. I'd probably give it a miss though the cutout is perfect fit.. Shame really"
Moshi tempered glass protectors are the only things I'd use on my phones. For iPhone 6, Galaxy S6, Note 4, etc, they're always edge-to-edge with professionally-looking cutouts. These are sold at AT&T corporate stores.

Does a screen protector detract from the looks? Is one needed? Which ones should we use?
I use one, can't tell difference to w/o. As this is one of the cheaper ones (6 pcs for 2 EUR) I think most of the offered ones are fine
Yeah I use one I got a 6 pack off amazon, nothing special just standard screen protector material and you cant even tell that its there. Probably gonna grab a tempered glass one here soon just for the hell of it.

Yes, it is fantastic protection and relatively easy to just "plop" on.
Is there any real reason why on earth you need screen protector on watch?
Especially when there`s gorilla glass instead of usual.
It`s a wearable device that is mounted on wrist all day long, so there`s no risk of drop at all.

You can still bump your watch against a door or wall which could scratch the watch face. Happened to me with a few watches in the past. Screen protectors are more for scratches than drops anyhow . In the end it's a matter of taste vs peace of mind. No wrong answer here. Personally I always lean towards using one and all my devices still look new after tons of use.
Screen protector
I tried one on but took it off in five min. It was protruding above the frame and didn't feel natural.
It was also gathering dust around the edge quickly and took away from the aesthetics of the watch.
I'll just be careful in handling the watch and enjoy the beauty of the watch at all times, rather.
The regular old school ones I got off amazon work great and you cant even tell it's on thenwatch.
As far if you need one or not, that's just a matter of opinion, ive banged my Smartwatches (Gear 1, Gear S) off door knobs walking down my hall a few times or at work while rushing around, it makes your stomach turn lol, yes the glass is definitely resilient but it never hurts to add a safety layer as long as it keep the watches aesthetics, Lucky I haven't banged my S2 off anything and hope I never do, but at least my screen will be covered if I do lol
have anyone tried the full body skin protector ? im just curious, is it truly invisible or would it be annoying ?

I have this on my watch. I'm very happy with it.
I bought a tempered glass one from eBay, it fitted very well. But it did create the thinnest halo effect around the the edge. So I took it off.
Then thought, I don't put any protectors on any of my other watches and most are regular glass.
I got this tempered glass screen protector on aliexpress. Very happy with it - fits really well and is barely noticeable. I think I read somewhere that it would be slightly too small for the classic though.
I have supershieldz from amazon for last few weeks and I happy with it.
I bought this from amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015X2DG2I?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00
Install was easy and I dont even know it is there. No loss in touch or responsiveness.
Got two tempered glass screen protectors off Amazon for about $10 each (Canadian). First one was tricky and had slight halo but that was my own fault. Took it off and tried again with my second one...perfect. No halo, can't even really tell it's on

Anyone not using a case notice the ring that houses the camera lens is really easily scratched? I never set my phone down on anything but my laminate desk at work, or wood surfaces and keep it in a pocket by itself, but the ring that the phone rests on is all scuffed and scratched and is losing its black paint. The lens is totally fine, and I honestly don't care because I'm jumping in a few months for an 820 phone but wanted to know if anyone noticed this happening to their phone.

Not bad, but being just a ring skin on the bezel of the lens, how well does it stay on without peeling off?
I was thinking of getting a skin and cutting it to fit the lens and under the battery cover to help keep it down and attached to the phone.

Same thing happened to me have not dropped it what so ever. Have occasionally had it in a case and in my pocket with nothing but lynt. I just noticed a scratch on the ring around camera lens today after I left from work have not set phone on anything except kitchen countertops. Called my carrier and immediately requested a replacement should get it in a few days. Man I'm a little disappointed this is supposed to be the military built phone not even my Note 4 scratched this easily especially around the camera. This can cause some real problems in the long run for this one.
Applied clear nail polish to the ring. All is well...
All these threads make me paranoid.... No problems with my soon the be 3 week old V10. Usually it's in my front pocket or resting on it's back in a case which keeps the camera raised high enough that it never touches. Depending on the situation it will sometimes go into a proper sized neoprene pouch. Hoping that Seidio comes out with a case holster combo...

TBH with this and the peeling/chipping Duraskin and apparently the not more than ordinary screen and phone durability reported in some of these other threads makes me kinda just wish I had waited and got the G5. :banghead:

Maybe if enough of us request, they'll stock up. I've requested side rails, camera rings and lenses.

Have you done this? Are they a precise fit or do you have to make them fit? This actually looks like a good idea....

I haven't done it myself. The ring around the camera lens is 16.5mm but you can trim the washer down.
For a lot less money you can buy a sheet of round gold foil stickers and make disposable lens caps.

As we all know, the camera lense is not the strongest one around and it needs a cover or protector of some kind. I'm wondering if there is such a thing available anywhere, or any other alternatives on how to protect the lens? Thanks!
right on time. http://www.4tified.com/devices-1/
mine didnt come with one though.. i ordered/received mine like 3 weeks ago? not a big deal since my camera bezel scratches arent too noticeable.
oh and that military green does look badass.

Looks great but I'm having trouble sorting out exactly what this "Camera lens bezel skin" does. This covers the lens bezel. Is the idea that it keep the round back circle around the lens (the bezel) from scratching or does it also offer some protection to the camera lens itself? Thanks.
Im guessing the area around the camera glass. A lot of people have been noticing how easy it is forbthat area to get scuffed up. But i would think this would also help a little with the actual camera lens from getting scratched since the skin would prob lift it off any flat surface a little.

That sounds right, thanks.
But this doesn't cover the lens (only the bezel), which is what the OP was asking about. Are there any products out there that protect the lens.

Yeah lol. I just re-read the op. I guess I had it in my mind the outter bezel is what he was referring to since I've seen more people complain about that area.
Only thing I've seen is this. The reason lens protection is so hard to come by is because it can obscure pictures. Especially anything with an adhesive back (like the one i linked). The residue can cause images to look "hazy" especially in low light situations.
My lens glass has cracked on both my G4 and my V10 and I blame the poor design of having it protrude from the rest of the back. It should have been the opposite. Unfortunately this causes very ugly light streaks in dim settings when taking a picture. The only thing I've found to remedy this by buying a replacement which was surprisingly cheap. $10. However, the auto-focus and macro capabilities never seem to be the same afterwards. Sigh.

I replaced my lens and don't have any issues with auto focus or macros. I did before the replacement but not after.

Hello,
I am just about to order an H961N from Ebay and since my main priority for it will be it's camera, I intend to protect it using a PDair leather Flip Case.
http://www.pdair.com/index.php/lg-v10-flip-wallet-case.html
As you will see this case fully protects the rear of the camera but still allows it to be used in a hurry when required.
Having used one of these on my Nokia N8 for the last 5 years (yes really!), I know it is both well made and effective. My N8 still looks like new and takes good photos
albeit not now up to V10 standards.

www.taobao.cn , but they don't ship international directly, but you can use a consolidate service offer by taobao, but very expensive.

Someone mentioned the poor quality and the size of the protector(too small).

I can't find anything about the poor quality, being too small is not about quality, the buyer just got the protector from the wrong seller, I got 2 set from two different seller, one being too small, I think the seller just wanted to sell them and sold it as a V10, the second set is the correct size, fit's exactly within the size of the V10 lens.
have anyone tried this one? a little expensive i guess http://www.amazon.com/Martin-Fields-Overlay-Screen-Protector/dp/B0198T4AA4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1463978276&sr=8-1&keywords=lg+v10+camera+protector
Just get an Obliq case. It's very functional, looks super cool and is just high enough to protect the bezel without obstructing the camera function
eh, it looks like it would have no real protction. i dropped my gs5 and broke the glass that covered the lense. i would love to have some kind of extra glass screen to go over it.
