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".
Is anyone else having trouble keeping the lens smudge free? All the time, I inadvertently touch the lens when grabbing the phone. I have to wipe the lens all the time or else I get hazy photos with halos around any lights. It seems the lens isn't smudge-resistant like my old S4 is. Very annoying.
How are you keeping the lens clean? Is there a invisibleshield type of product for cameras that resists fingerprints?
Hi!
I use my OP6 without any case and I was wondering if a glass lens is usefull to protect my back camera?
Anyone has already used one?
Is it worth? does it really protect from cracking?
Here an exemple: https://www.ebay.fr/itm/3Pcs-HD-Tem...hash=item1cae4c45d8:m:mWQGQ8rl5aZX9SkX3jfp7pg
Thank you
Personally, I'd be Leary of covering my camera lens with anything.
Even the TG covers for the front leave the camera lens exposed.
Hey there, I've just fixed my S8 with loca glue after taking the front glass off and putting new one on. Unfortunately the glue has gotten into the camera glass and my front camera looks bad now. Has anybody ever done this before and not gotten the glue under the camera lense hole? Thank you! :good:
The rear glass of my Xperia was broken. That's why I ordered glass parts from the back.
But I have one worry. Will this glass replacement affect the quality of the picture?

Solved. Zeiss&T star coating is only applies in camera module. Not battery cover(include camera lens)
