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.

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.

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.

Hello All,
Can anyone suggest where can we get screen protectors for HTC touch cruise. I mean the protecter should cover not only the display but also the camera and notifications led's???
You should have 1 or 2 in the box. And you don't want it to cover the camera. The picture/video quality would be poor.

I had only one in the box and when i am trying to apply it, it didnt go of well. So, I want to remove it and apply a new one. Screen protector i am having which came in the HTC box, leaves holes for camera and notification led. Why we need to cover entire display is when we use the touch cube functioanility often ur fingers slips and it leaves finger spots there....
In the german forum they discuss about the same problem... nearly everybody is waiting for screen protectors from "BRANDO" They don't cover only the screen.

I second that! I have had BRANDO protectors on nearly all my PDAs and they NEVER got scratched on the screen or anything. The protectors are not cheap but worth it!
Brando replied to me they are going to ship the Cruise protectors within 2 weeks. So let's wait and see.
I'm in the same condition... I'm waiting Brando screen protector, it's the best!
I never owned a ppc before... For my TC is nothing too expensive Only the best.
a piece of plastic a small distant from the lense would work as
the evil opposite of another lense killing focus
if you didnt apply it ok then redo it, i took mine out like 3 times untill i installed it correctly, i washed it with soap to clear dust and stuff and re-applied, worked like a charm
I bought a protector from Veripart together with the Polaris. It has a cutout for the speaker on the top but not one for the camera, but it is so clear that it does not interfere with the camera (not visibly anyhow). I tried a photo before applying the protector and after under the same circumstances and I did not find any differences. Besides that it makes the lens easier to clean because it is now flush with the rest of the screen. I like it very much. I never use the supplied protectors with my phones. If you ever tried a Brando or a Veripart then you will know why ;-) . The protector covers the whole of the front of the phone, right until the edges of the device.

FYI, these do not cover the entire faceplate of the Polaris. They are just standard protectors (and not very good ones at that) sized to the touch screen.

I've been using the protector that came with the phone and I find that unless I keep it clean, the touch experience is not so great. Sometimes hard to get a smooth swipe. The glass on the screen however works well even when smudged. Is there a protector out there that works better? If not, I'm going bareback.

Thanks!
Not sure if its actually good on Sensation..but here's a review of it and the actual product site.

-Edit-
From the FAQ from Photojojo
Will these lenses fit on my phone?
Sure! These lenses really work with most phones. If the area around your camera lens is relatively flat, and you can stick the little metal ring to it, our new camera phone lenses will work on your phone, no problem!

What about my iPhone 3G/S? The back is kind of curved - will the lenses still work?
The lenses will work with the iPhone 3G/S - but not perfectly. The curve of the phone will cause the edge of the fisheye and wide angle lens to be seen in your photos. The macro lens won't have this issue. You can easily crop the edge of the lens out of your photos with your favorite photo-editing program! Photoshop app, ftw.
quoted this because of the curve question

Can I use these lenses with a case on my phone?
You totally can! As long as the case is tight against the phone it should be fine. Thicker cases may cause slight light leaks but it'll still work!

What is the size of that little ring? How many of them do I get?
The diameters of the ring are 13.06mm (outer) and 9.38mm (inner). If your phone's lens has a smaller diameter, it'll work great! Each lens comes with two iPhone 4/4S rings and two all-other-phone-compatible rings

Thanks Alot!
I will order this, if it wont work, my sister will get a gift for her Iphone
It won't work
Seriously, it won't
It probably will fit. From what I can make out it comes with an adhesive metal ring which fits over the hole for your camera. The lenses are magnetic so attach to the ring. As long as the adhesive ring fits it should be fine. I'm going to buy my girlfriend one for her sgs2 next week and will report back on whether or not it also fits the Sensation.
"Top grade aluminium"... held on by a magnet? I smell a rat.
Also, reguardless of the fact that you won't actually be using the phone to make a call whilst the lens is attached, I am curious to know the effect sticking magnets and large lumps of metal to your phone has on your signal strength.
This arrived yesterday so I thought I'd update. The piece that attaches to the phone is a small metal ring with an adhesive back. Although it fits the sgs2 much better than the Sensation, it still certainly fits the Sensation really well and doesn't feel like it would easily come off. The package came with around 7 of the metal adhesive rings so it's not a problem if one does happen to fall off. The magnets on the lenses are very strong - I think they may even be rare earth magnets - so they attach to the ring really well and feel quite sturdy when they're on. I didn't have much time to check the quality of the lenses but the macro seemed fantastic and the fish eye quite good.

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.

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.

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.

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...

Awesome idea.
Stuff like this freakin drives me insane. Mine has alot of marks on it. It's really a poor and cheap design. 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.

Hi guys i have a question S22 ultra camera lens protector does affect image quality? Anyone have done comparision? Do you have pictures? Have a nice weekend.
Yes it will degrade the image; refraction, ghosting, and possibly other optical anomalies.
The phone already has a lense protectors built into the rear cover. They are replaceable if damaged. Use a case with a raised guard to protect them. Clean with a dry microfiber cloth.
Would you recommend any good case? Spigen thin fit is fine?

Zizo Bolt, excellent drop protection, doesn't attract dirt, grippy, easy to clean.
The screen protector may be a toss, don't know.
The case kick stand tends to break but doesn't effect protection. It all I use on my N10+'s, zero damage. It will soak up a 2-4 foot concrete corner hit with ease. Good spen corner protection.
Thx for reply, im looking for something not that fancy looking. Actually im using spigen thin fit with esr lens protector and im just thinking about removing esr. Im just curious if thin fit from spigen is enought to cover and protect camera lenses well.

Forget how it looks. That's a very heavy phone that loves to corner hit when dropped and face plant. The Bolt isn't that thick and easy to hold.
It won't come apart in a multiple impact drop.
It protects the mobo, cams, etc from damaging high G loads. Hasn't marred my frame rails in over 2 years of use... I live in the desert and it's dusty.
I have the spigeon and it's pretty decent but I think the TORRAS Clear case is much more protection and is more comfortable in the hands. It feels literally like air bags. Camera protection is good with that case too. I only use spigeon for the kickstand. For screen protectors I find the EGV Screen protectors to be the best out of all the ones I've found. As of right now I'm not using a screen protector because all of them have a negative effect on spen performance or cause issues when swiping text on keyboard. The screen feels very good to the touch when it's naked.
I Don't see any differences with or without lenses.
Will try in the night too.
Spoiler: with or without lenses

I used mocolo camera protect in Note 9 and photo quality were worse. Next i tryied protect cameras island in Fold 2 and too i saw worse photo quality, especially in evening or night.
So now i don't use any camera protection and i am happy with full photo quality without scratichng on the camera island/lenses.
I use the ESR lens protectors. No issues in 3 months, day or night. There are reviews on Youtube comparing the lens covers with and without and results are exactly the same.
Yes it affect image quality. Not so much but still affect.

From my personal experience, the lens protections aren't altering a lot the pictures quality, if they do, it's so slight that I've never noticed anything that would make me suspicious.

Try shooting at the longest telephoto setting with and without a camera lens protector. You'll see differences.
I got these and I have not noticed any degradation in image quality. Sorry if that defies your physics. I've taken shots of the moon that don't look any different before I had the camera protectors on the phone. None of the photos I've taken show any artifacts.
I don't like scratches on my camera glasses, and I don't think it's not cheap to replace them either once scratched.

Are they coated with an anti reflective coating to prevent ghosting? What about flaring?
Is the protector perfectly flat?
Otherwise it will cause optical aberrations.
Even if all the above conditions aren't a concern you will create refraction that doesn't need to be in the optical pathway. That will degrade the image in itself.
There's no sense in protecting the lense protector with a second one
Guard it with a case only.
You paid big bucks for this cam system that was carefully engineered. Why screw that up with unnecessary add ons?

Can't fight against my preventive side, even if I only drop a phone every 5 years.

I feel you. I hate when my phone gets marred.
This heavily N10+ is almost 3 yo and lives in the dusty desert. Not even a micro scratch on the lense protector that I can spot. Like on the S22U it's part of the rear cover. Sold separately too I believe.
The S22U is 30gm heavier than N10+, it's not going to like getting dropped. The only thing the N10+ likes to do more then corner hit when dropped is face plant. I use the Zizo Bolt, the phone is still in perfect condition. Without it this N10+ be toast.
Worry about and protect the stuff that's expensive and hard to replace; display, frame, and mobo.
For me personally it dose especially with the 10x .. but i rather lose quality then it breaks so
