I was wondering if scratches on the glass "protector?" which covers the phones camera lens affect picture quality.
Yes. Anything obstructing lens is a red flag. There are 'solutions' on YouTube, but they do never give you the desired result.

Do you think the camera lens touches whatever flat surface you pit a naked nexus s down on or is of slightly raised?

Actually it does not. Look at the back of your phone; there is a slightly raised lip around the camera lens. That lip makes contact with surfaces but the lens does not. Your lens must have been cracked by impact.
Actually it might...Its really f***ing hard to tell where my ghost armor ends and where the battery door starts ><
I think its slightly raised, noticed that the speaker is slightly raised as well, just to make them even with the bulging bottom.
Google Nexus S Body (Back) Skin
You can buy Best Skin Ever screen protector. I bought the back skin and it comes with camera lens skin, which is very easy to apply. As for the back skin, it may differ based on your skill set.
The lens is recessed.
Anyone seen anything like a camera lens protector? Just like a screen protector but just for that tiny rectangle over the camera. Obviously it would need to be super duper optically clear.
I ask because I notice that the glass (plastic?) covering my lens already has a tiny scratch in it. Fortunately it's just below the sensor (the "black zone") but I'm worried that I could get another one in a BAD place.
I've already ordered a case but none of the cases I've seen so far appear to protect the lens directly... They all seem to just have open holes in that area. I'm open to ideas if nothing exists or it's just plain impractical.
I agree..it would be reassuring. My martin fields protector for my old desire came with a camera sticker.

When you use the films of gadgetshieldz, you like the same protection for the camera.
I know the zagg HD screen protector isn't good enough for optical protection. At least looking at my screen, I see that it does distort slightly even though it was "professionally" installed.
I'e seen them available in china, one comes free with a screen protector.
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".
Anyone done it? The clear plastic lens cover over the actual camera lens has become quite scratched and I think it's starting to affect picture quality significantly, especially in lower light situations.
Has anyone used a film or tempered glass protector for their camera lens? I found DevilCase makes 2 options and I was considering the tempered glass option and I didn't know how it might impact the picture quality of the camera.
You may try using also a film type sticker protector for the lens. Tempered glass will work as well but you should avoid getting around the flash as this will produce additional glare when used.
Hope you could find one with better clarity as this will also add fringing and slight distortion to the captured image
