Hi all
I have a few annoying scratches on my rear camera lens cover (whatever it is glass or plastic?). Can this part be replaced without having to replace the whole camera module?
I can't seem to find this part listed anywhere on aliexpress or ebay. Plenty of these are available but they look more like a cover to be put on top of the original rear camera.

Or are they actually the replacement for the original cover? Please someone helps enlighten me
Thanks
Or is it actually part of the back cover? I can't quite make it out from all pictures I saw on the internet.
Will take the back cover off and see for myself tonight. In the meantime if anyone has anything to share, that'd be much appreciated too

You probably noticed already that it's part of the bacover. I replaced mine for the same reason, but I wouldn't expect it's waterproof anymore, so please don't drop it into the toilet
Original back cover.

Is there such thing as a back cover without camera hole for the Trinity?
It would be nice to have one, specially for those like me that work on a cameraphone restricted workplace. I know there's still the front camera, but that one can easily be disguised or covered with a small sticker or something.
Any ideas?
TIA!

Very good case, covers the backside completely but is foldable to uncover the camera. Stays in place with a magnet.
i think he meant a housing without the camera hole, not a carrying case
Thanks but even though that case is nice, our guards are not that stupid and they always ask you to take the device out of the case or holster.
I think I will order a normal replacement cover and use some sort of epoxy to cover the camera hole... I'll post my results later...
So far I haven't find any battery cover without a camera hole... I think there is a potential market if someone manufactures this type of accessory don't you think?

Hmm, I know this may sound like a difficult approach, but if you don't find one, you might buy a normal trinity back cover, and modify it to cover the camera. It shouldn't be too difficult (if you've used similar tools before).
I'd pro'bly go with removing the original camera frame (metal) replace it with one with only the loudspeaker hole. Shouldn't be too difficult to make out of, say, sheet metal or plastic.

Well, they may be.
If this was proper security, then surely the guards would realise that most phones today have a camera and would want the back taken off the phone to check?
I can't see any difference between removing the phone from a case and removing the back from the phone.
If this is the security at your company, then I would expect your competitors to have loads of pictures taken by empoyees who have got past the guards
Light hearted, slightly flippant, comment, have you ever tried to buy a phone without a camera these days?
All this so called security which we have to put up with is basically nonsense. They will confiscate a camera phone but not notice a Sony digicam hidden in your sandwich box.
Coincidently, my employer has just given me a brand new Nokia for work. I don't know what it is - it does not have a camera, and has a torch light on it instead!
LOL this may get dropped or lost in the next few days
fake sense of security people need to lighten up and notice
how poor most camphones quality is
Hi
Is there any backcover for Htc P3700 Diamond which would hide the back camera as i am not allowed to carry a camera phone in office and was thinking if we have a cover so i can use my phone in office too?
Its a 2G phone so only need to hide the back camera!!
you also have a camera at the front...
maybe also a "frontcover"
even with another cover, it's still a photo-mobilephone...

As i mentioned above its a 2G phone so no camera in Front...but was hoping there would be some back cover that would hide the camera. Searched over the google but couldnt find anything.
Any other suggestions.
Well I guess that there is no cover like that but why not buying a normal one and then covering the hole with some plastic and glue?
A bit of tape on the inside of the cover and then take a sharpie to the outside maybe?
Paint it black
Hey guys, it seems like the camera lens is scratched very easily. Does anyone know how to fix this? Possibly a replacement or repolishing?
Are you having the same problem?
I'm not sure about replacement nor repolishing... but no, it seems that my camera lens do not scratch easily - as I have no single scratch on it so far.
I remember once when I had my first iPod, one of those 20GB white ones with the B+W screens, it got scratched really easily. And it was a plastic screen, like our camera lens. My dad was able to use some plastic wax or something and fill in the scratches and make it look like new. Try a SMALL amount of something like that.

same here. Anyways, I searched around, I found that there is kinda scratch removal, but nothing about for camera lens unfortunately. So, I am not sure, if it is possible to use that.

I dont think youre going to find a definite answer anywhere so only one way to find out
The covering over the camera is almost definitely plastic. I don't know why they didn't choose glass for better durability but oh well. So I am going to assume that anything that fixes plastic will work on the covering piece of the camera. If you find something that works please get back to us on this thread.
I searched around briefly about replacements, but didn't find anything. My camera lens cover is cracked. The photos are actually still OK though. So I'm not in a huge hurry.
On my note 2 I returned s cover because of how annoying it was to take pictures since you had to hold the cover half open to do so. I'm wondering since the case has the opening now if the camera lens peaks through it or not?
Sure can, shows that off here:

Was wondering this myself. Check out around 2:10 of this video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-IxYAefSP0o
Tested it- works.. but not the best option
I have finally got both the phone and cover today. So once i found this topic straight away tried to take a picture.
Here is my opinion: Yes, it can be done! .. but the downsides are:
1. smudges on s-cover glass
2. dust on s-cover glass
3. if photos are taken against sunlight s-covers glass shines and reduces the quality of the photo
All together i wouldn`t recommend to use camera with s-cover flipped to the back
Thanks for the info.
According to the video there is no magnet on the cover.
I thought there is a magnet.
Can anyone confirm?
If it's true then wake up on opening should work on any cover like my Note 2.
Would love if it's officially from samsung not a third party app.
I'm super careful with my devices and I've never had one broke on me (since the AT&T Tilt) until now! I don't know how, but a small puncture broke my camera lens cover.
Anyway, I read that the S6 has the same lens cover, so I ordered one of those. Going to try to replace it tonight. *crosses fingers*
It seems this is a fairly common issue with Samsung phones, sadly. Anyone else have any experiences?
Any update on this? I also broke my Note 5 Camera lens cover and wondering if the S6 lens cover will fix
I tried taking the back off and it's a pain in the ass! I bought a kit (thin metal, suction cup, etc) and still no luck.
Going to try one more time tonight. If that doesn't work, I'm going to bring it to a repair shop and let them get it off, then try the fix.

I imagine that would be a pain. Keep us updated, I'm sure this question will come up again.
Also check to see if it focuses and take clear shots. I know some lens cover were plastic and many people reported focusing issue.
