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".
Just picked up the edge two days ago and I love it so far. Got the Skinomi screen protector on the way but does anybody feel the need to cover the camera lens on the back? I know putting on a protector would affect image quality a bit but having it sit on the lens all the time is nerve wrecking.
Also, any idea where to get one? I searched the forums and google but got nothing.
I once owned the HTC One m8, so I know about needing a cover, it was prone to scratches. I just use the extra one I had from it.
I do not know about yours but my AT&T came with a sticker like protection attached. I hate it though. Do not know how I shall remove it.
Hey guys,
Let me first start off with the post before me. Before using your phone you should remove all plastic film from the phone. This includes the front film that covers the phones screen and the plastic square film that covers the camera glass on the back of your phone. I used my fingernails and slowly removed the plastic film on the camera lens from the back of the phone. I noticed after removing the film from the camera on the back, the picture and video quality remains the same, this is due to a cut out in the middle of the square plastic film on the camera on the back of the phone. In conclusion, it doesn't affect quality of any sort on my opinion, but in my personal opinion it looks better without it. Personally, I didn't notice the film on the camera lens until after a week or two of usage. It got steamy and hot in the ktichen and i was taking pictures of food and I noticed air bubbles on the lens... The end.
Lets get back on topic, you can skip the top portion, but that might be too late. Alright if your looking for a camera lens protector for your Edge. I recommend Rasta Banana protector for the Note Edge.
I apologize, since. I'm a new user I cannot post links in my posts yet. You can find it by going to Google and typing "Rasta Banana Note Edge", and you will see it.
If your looking for only a camera lens screen protector only then this is not for you. The package includes a full screen protector for the front of the Edge and its dry apply that covers the whole screen including the Edge screen. Also in the package is the camera lens screen protector too.
I ordered mines today and it's $18 for the package and $3 shipping, and it takes about 7-20 days for delivery for us US buyers.
I'll let you guys know how the screen protector works and the camera lens protector works when it arrives.
Thanks for reading.
The protruded camera lens design is always a disaster waiting to happen. Simple day to day activity can scratch/crack the lens. But looks like this is the design trend with most manufacturers these days.
I have purchased a protector for my lens, and it is working well so far.

see if you can get a dimension from the seller, or a OP3 owner. Looks like they might fit.

So it does not fit.
So mine is cracked now. Anyone been able to find a replacement glass lens?
I totally agree with this. I'm very gentle with my devices. I keep them protected and in a pocket that never has anything else in it. My camera lens already has scratches on it. I've never had scratches on any of the device's I've ever owned. Whatever LeEco is using for glass is very soft and easily scratched.
With that said, I would very much like to order a protector, but I'm afraid of waiting another 30 days by shipping it from China to the US.
I've been unable to find any other camera protectors made for this device being sold within the US. Can anyone direct me to others they've found?
I ordered the one from Aliexpress in the OP. Works just fine. However, took about 2 months to actually get it.
Here is what I recommend.
1) Order a SUPER CHEAP screen protector
2) Create a template for the shape of the lens
3) Trace it onto the cheap screen protector
4) use an exacto knife to cut out the shape from the cheap screen protector.
It doesn't even really matter if it fits perfectly as long as the area in front of the lens is protected.

This is a good idea. But the protector better be a tempered glass rather than regular plastic screen protector. Plastic ones would get scratched and might affect picture quality.
On the other hand, you can probably cut out like 20 of these from a single screen protector and change it every week.

Absolutely agree. It could at least be a good solution while someone waits for their protector sent from China. My previous Pro 3 (before the screen shattered and I received a new one) ended up getting a nice scratch on the lens while I waited for my shipment from China. I was super careful, but still scratched it somehow...
Had the tempered glass from Alibaba for a couple months and it has been great. It is the first time I ever bought a screen protector for a phone camera before. No scratch on it so far and it is beveled well enough that I don't feel the rough edges bothering me. I will probably order another just in case since I generally find tempered glass without edge protection to crack relatively easily over time.
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.

You can try this, hope it help you..

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.

thanks! I bought it, really amazing case!
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.
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

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
