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.

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".
Hi everyone. I'd like to ask if somebody knows where I can find a protective film for the rear camera like the original one. It comes with a hole for the lens so it doesn't affect the quality of the pic. I think it's the same size of the GS5 model. Please let me know.
Thanks
Just curious: If it doesn't cover the lens, what good is it actually doing you?
I use this for my S6:
http://www.bestskinsever.com/samsung-galaxy-s6-skin
The full body skin covers the camera lens and hole. I tested it and it doesn't impact the quality of the photos. I would highly recommend this, you can't even tell its there and it is cut precise. Very impressed with best skins ever. I don't use the film for the front of the phone, I use a PET film for that. For the back of the phone and the lens I use the skin mentioned above. I think you have to buy the full body skin to get the camera protection, Good luck.
My S4 had a camera issue, but the good thing was that you could open it up and replace, which I did. For the S6 if it gets scratched or whatever, you can't do anything yourself.
Hello guys,
recently I had to peel off the damaged lens coating completely, now the lens and the back cover have some scratches.
I would like to change the lens or order a full back cover that comes with the lens. I will not buy anything if the lens doesnt have the coating. Where can I find such spare parts and how I can make sure that there is the coating?
Thanks!
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?

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?

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

Glass camera seem likes very scratchy ! Do you have any ideas to protect them without case?
I use a tempered Glass for the camera. No problem with photos and very happy to have a full protection for lens
Hey guys, I'm an idiot, let's make that clear. Got this phone and thought that I bought a tempered glass screen protector and a back glass tempered glass. Well enough time has passed that I kind of forgot if I actually put it on or not so I'm doubting myself. Is the stock back glass one piece of glass flush, or is there access to the lenses? I was trying to use my new phone kit to get this tempered glass screen protector on and of course the outer edge cracked and I started to panic that maybe I was actually damaging the camera lens itself
The lense protector is part of the rear cover generally. Most times it can be replaced separately. It doesn't not protection as it is the protection for the lens.
Use a good case or the phone will get damaged... a good case helps to protect the built in camera lense protector.
