This is the other set of camera lens protector I got off of Amazon.
It's made by .. Orzero.
I'm not sure which is one better yet, but I'm leaning toward this one (Orzero). Packaging was much better.. but it doesn't have a template to attach it, so you'll have to eyeball it, which I don't mind.

Quick question, I got my phone today but what are you guys doing about the camera lens? It comes out so far that many of the cases don't seem to protect it.
Does it need protecting or no?
The HTC Case (striped one) I felt was more of a stylish accessory as opposed to serving any function in protecting the phone. The camera still juts out of the back.
The lens seems to be recessed slightly, I don't think I would worry about it too much.
I'm sure you could find a way to stick a very thin amount of plastic on the metal ring just around the lens to help. Not sure how that would be done though
The Martin Fields screen protectors come with a lens protector.
i have the martin fields and it is fine. do not buy the nillkin, which also claims to include a lens protector. there is a selection of lens protectors with the nillkin, but the screen protector itself does not fit well. it's cut too small.
I plan on ordering a Martin Field's protector set next week. From what I've read, they're quite good.

Many of the cases don't protect? Most of the ones I saw did, most thin TPU cases cover it just fine, mine creates a substantial lip.
Hi
I'm just wondering if anyone has a lens protector.. or does it not need it?
When I got a martin fields protector for my htc desire it came with a lens protects.. but no one seems to offer these.. apart from Martin Fields.
I thought it was good idea.. I'm suprised my Spigen protector didn't have one.
Is the camera lens gorilla glass?
I've been using Best Skins Ever for literally every phone I've had (S2, GNEX, S3, S4) for the body protection. Their skins include a cutout for the camera lens part. I've always thought it was a good idea to protect the lens part because I don't think it uses any kind of scratch-proof material. Especially because the camera sticks out enough that it contacts any surface when you lay it on it's back. Here's the link if you're interested in seeing the cutouts for it: http://www.bestskinsever.com/samsung-galaxy-s4-skin

Only thing I would worry about isa lens protector degrading the quality of pictures. The camera is a big reason why I went for this phone. If you get a good case it will protect the lens. The otterbox commuter case I got sticks out past the camera pretty far so its fine.

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".
Just picked up the edge two days ago and I love it so far. Got the Skinomi screen protector on the way but does anybody feel the need to cover the camera lens on the back? I know putting on a protector would affect image quality a bit but having it sit on the lens all the time is nerve wrecking.
Also, any idea where to get one? I searched the forums and google but got nothing.
I once owned the HTC One m8, so I know about needing a cover, it was prone to scratches. I just use the extra one I had from it.
I do not know about yours but my AT&T came with a sticker like protection attached. I hate it though. Do not know how I shall remove it.
Hey guys,
Let me first start off with the post before me. Before using your phone you should remove all plastic film from the phone. This includes the front film that covers the phones screen and the plastic square film that covers the camera glass on the back of your phone. I used my fingernails and slowly removed the plastic film on the camera lens from the back of the phone. I noticed after removing the film from the camera on the back, the picture and video quality remains the same, this is due to a cut out in the middle of the square plastic film on the camera on the back of the phone. In conclusion, it doesn't affect quality of any sort on my opinion, but in my personal opinion it looks better without it. Personally, I didn't notice the film on the camera lens until after a week or two of usage. It got steamy and hot in the ktichen and i was taking pictures of food and I noticed air bubbles on the lens... The end.
Lets get back on topic, you can skip the top portion, but that might be too late. Alright if your looking for a camera lens protector for your Edge. I recommend Rasta Banana protector for the Note Edge.
I apologize, since. I'm a new user I cannot post links in my posts yet. You can find it by going to Google and typing "Rasta Banana Note Edge", and you will see it.
If your looking for only a camera lens screen protector only then this is not for you. The package includes a full screen protector for the front of the Edge and its dry apply that covers the whole screen including the Edge screen. Also in the package is the camera lens screen protector too.
I ordered mines today and it's $18 for the package and $3 shipping, and it takes about 7-20 days for delivery for us US buyers.
I'll let you guys know how the screen protector works and the camera lens protector works when it arrives.
Thanks for reading.
I bought one and I'm using it.
It does not fit properly on either the front or back, like it was made using pre-release specs.
The actual PET films are a great deal smaller than the front and back. They are also very highly prone to fingerprints.
Not a quality product. Not what spigen has made a name making.
Should have bought the one that doesn't come with that film you have to place on your phone. Liquid crystal I think it's called

liquid crystal is a slim case. This is a screen protector.
My rear one from Spigen fit perfectly. The reason it is smaller is to prevent the HALO effect, which if you saw my front one that is tempered glass, you would give Spigen kudos for not making it larger and being a giant dust magnet.
I have the spigen one. .. I'm happy with it so far. .. not collecting oil. And super clear. Edit: the protector is exactly the width of the touch screen. Leaves little margin for error when applying. But i got it perfect first try as its not my first time putting one on a phone.

Can u please take a picture so I can see, thanks in advance!!
debating on a screen protector as well any suggestions? I was about to go with Spigen until i saw this.
Thanks for the headsup
Not going to take a pic man. Its like the image on amazon. It is exactly the width of the touch screen... not the full fromt glass panel. As it cant be with the cases rounded screen. The height goes above the camera and the bottom goes below the home button. I have zero halo effect. It feels smooth too me and not collecting oil yet. I cant tell its on unless i am looking for it. Take in mind i do have a spigen hybrid neo case on it too. The case covers the areas where the screen protector does not reach. In combination its great... now the back protector thats included does feel a bit small... but i dont care as i have case on it. And its just another layer of scratch protection... if i used my phone naked... i would be worried a little more with just this front and back protector. But for 10 bucks i got 2 fronts and one back... fits my needs and is better quality than screen protectors i have paid much more for in the past on other phones. When some glass ones come out i may switch... but for now.. its a sound 10 buck choice.
I agree with the topic starter.
The screenprotector is way smaller than the screen, front an back.
If i knew this i woudlt have bought it.
Going to search for a screenprotector that fills the whole front and back.
