Stock like TPU case but with better camera protection? - Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Accessories

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?
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

Thank you

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

How to best protect Camera lens?

Hi guys, i was wondering how to best protect the Camera of the DHD? Since its "looking out" of the device...
I planned to just put it in the pockets of my Jeans without any protection, but i figured that the camera lens might be damaged eventually?
So what can i do to protect the lens from beeing damaged??
i found the best way to stop it getting scratch was to get a pair of pliers and pull the lens from the housing. I dont worry about the lens getting scratched any more when i put the phone in my pocket becuase the lens is in my drawer at home
it had a detrimental effect on image quality, but it was worth it

You may as well buy a safekeep , store the phone in it , lock the damn box and never care again.
That would beat your method hands down
Hehe yeah well, i used all my phones without any protection, but im kind of worried that it will brakeaway somehow...
With the HD2 i had at least the leather thingy that came with it.
The HD2 leather bag should fit your DHD too (tried it with my dad's)
I use the HD2's leather pouch to carry around the DHD. fits perfectly.
maybe get a screen protector and cut a piece to fit the lens ??
get an otterbox defender it has a protective plastic on the lens cutout
The defender is a great case but way to heavy and bulky for a normal person. A piece of a screenprotector should offer enough protection.
Or otterbox commuter+ piece of a screenprotector

Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Some screen protectors come with an extra piece for the camera lens.
The Martin Fields Overlay Plus for example.
tbh, all the same I am not sure if the piece of plastic/glass which covers the lens will ever get noticeably damaged.
Previous experience with an Xperia X1 (built by HTC, for what it's worth), without protecting the "lens", I had no problems whatsoever with damage there.

I think something like that could affect the photos.. would'nt even try it
I purchased the Martin Fields protector and it came with a front cover as well as a camera cover. It doesn't seem to have any detrimental effect to the image quality and I feel more comfortable with it on. Only downside is that it's a pretty expensive screen protector D=

Any cases that offer camera protection too?

Looking for a case that offers a window or door to cover the camera lens- even with thick cases, my camera lenses on my phones tend to get destroyed (why aren't these made of gorilla glass?). Any suggestions? Thanks
I've noticed the same problem. In quite a few drop test videos I've watched, the camera lens cracked before the screen. I have the Urban Armor Gear and it provides some protection by adding a small lip around the camera. At least it won't get scratched when I use it on a flat surface. But I haven't come across any cases that offer additional protection for the camera.
What I can tell you is that the replacement lens is pretty cheap. I think around $10. It seems like something an average user can replace themselves.

This is what I am using.
I use the caseology case wich has a nice lip around the camera lense which protects it pretty well. bought it from here:

Rear Camera Film Protection

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.

Camera scratches

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.

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.

Camera protection

This camera unit surface seems so vulnerable. It's outermost surface on back even with cover so any movement on table etc is potential risk for scratching the camera lenses. I dont know whether its plastic of glass but would be good to have it protected since its not as easy to replace than the screen. So do you know any good solutions to this ?

Seems so. I ended buying just glass over the lenses. Let's see how this effects picture quality.

How are you finding the glass? I'm concerned as well but don't want to put on anything as bulky as the rhinoshield as the phone is quite hefty as it is.
