I have Skinomi. I really like it but I think I over stretched it when I installed it. I can see "stretch marks" underneath the skin protector. I'm not sure if its caused over stretching or squeezing as I tried to clean the bubbles.

I've been really impressed with the Skinomi protector. The cut-outs are spot on and orange peel is at a minimum. Other protectors with cut-outs for the front facing camera and sensors tend to cut out a portion of the protector rather than having actual holes punched out so that the chances of the edges lifting increases. The Skinomi actually punches out holes in the protector giving the impression of a more finished look. You wouldn't think that there is anything on the screen itself unless you look around the edges and see the ends of the protector tracing the edge of the screen Speaking of the edges, I am really impressed how the skinomi is able to follow the curvature of the screen without lifting. I have had the screen protector on since I received the phone in late November and I have the official bumper on. Scratches and indentations do take a while to clear up, but with the screen on, it is not even noticeable. I am truly impressed with Skinomi.

Best dry install? Spigen Dual, it's literally one of the best protectors I've ever used(hori has the best but theirs are for game consoles). Anyway the quality of the Spigen dual is unmatched, the rear protector almost has full accuracy, it's missing just a little bit of height but not enough to make a fuss over it. And the front, while not covering the curves, still overs great protection. They chose the slim profile for the front to avoid the lifting that normally occurs with the curvy designs, which is honestly a fair trade-off. I would rather have this design than one that allows dust and lifting to occur. Overall I give Steinheil a 9/10 for their efforts.

...I'm currently using a Spigen Ultra Crystal. The 'feel' is fantastic, clarity is as good as naked. I do have an issue with the edges lifting, even though they're no where near the curve in the glass. I fitted both that came in the pack, with the same result. I'm in contact with Spigen CS to figure out what the problem is. In my opinion Spigen are the ultimate protector - I just want my N4 one to fit!

Thanks fot the reply. I was beginning to think no one had a screen protector.
Do you have the case fit one or the normal fit one.
How does it fit?
I have an Mpero Privacy Screen Protector sitting here, will post a review when my N4 arrives (if someone hasn't by then).

Please let us know how it does with the sensors as that screen protector doesn't have a cutout for that.
Is there any protector that will not bubble up because of the case? I dont mind it not covering the curved edges.

Best Skins Ever has an option for a protector cut specifically to be used with a case.
Fantom 4 (my favorite) is made of glass and i would imagine would be good too. on their website they recommend to use it with a case.

Actually contrary to the Amazon image it does indeed have the sensor cut out. I was worried about that being an issue before it arrived, but I'm relieved that it should be just fine.

You could try the Fantom 5 Tempered Glass protector as it's actually made of glass.
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".
All,
I have ordered and returned at last 5 cases on amazon because all of the pictures were deceiving. so I am going to try this community to please point me towards a tempered glass case (Ii don't care thickness) that does NOT cover the camera. I attached 3 examples of what i am looking for any of the 3 will do as long as they do NOT cover the camera.
Thanks for any help .

Is there any reason in particular you don't want it to cover the camera? I imagine most manufacturers thnk they might as well cover the camera and protect it from scratches aswell. And in my experience the protector doesn't affect the camera visibly.
I have heard that. I just prefer it. When you get your new s5 it has cut outs on the initial scree protector so I am surprised that even Samsung hasn't made one. I may have no choice though
May I ask what tempered glass protection is? If it is just like normal screen protection, then here is the one for you: http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00I6CQCKG
I had my S5 few days ago along with this SP. It fits the screen perfectly

Tempered glass is a thicker screen protector. Most of the time it has an oleophobic coating to prevent smudges/fingerprints.
A screen protector is worthless on an S5. This phone has gorilla glass. If you do something to damage the glass, I can pretty much guarantee that protector will fail at the same time the glass does. Save your money.

I would hardly say it's worthless to put on your phone. Can never have enough protection for an expensive device. Gorilla glass is ok, but not indestructible. The tempered glass will absorb the impact and possibly Crack in certain situations, but usually the screen underneath will still be fine... :silly:
I just got this one from Amazon yesterday it does not cover the front camera. Best part is that it's cheap and looks good.

I've recently changed my S5 glass screen protector as I dropped my phone and it cracked. The phone screen itself didn't crack and, from my own experience having a glass screen protector is well worth the money.

I really don't think that covering the camera really that bad, I've got a glass screen protector on my handset and it doesn't take away any quality from my selfies! I think if it's applied incorrectly (has bubbles or dirt on the protector) then it would.
Did you mange to find one that doesn't cover the camera? I would be interested to see the difference if there is any.

FEATURE of Temperedglass:
1. Safety. Once broken, it splits into tiny harmless pieces;
2. Hardness. 4 times harder than ordinary float glass;
3. Special logo and pattern can be printed on the tempered glass;
4. The best screen protector in resisting thermal stress and wind-load;
5. Bear sudden temperature change of 220 centigrade degree.

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.

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...

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.
What material is the glass that protects the rear cameras made of? Thank you.
AndroidAuthority says it's "specialized sapphire glass"
" Around the rear of the Pixel 7, you’ll find the same Gorilla Glass Victus as the front, so there’s not much difference here. Note that, like on most other smartphones, the camera lenses live here, too. You should keep these free from scratches and dirt to ensure you get the best possible picture quality. Also, remember that camera lenses use specialized sapphire glass, which doesn’t share the same durability rating as Gorilla Glass. "

Be careful about wording. They said "Also, remember that camera lenses use specialized sapphire glass, which doesn’t share the same durability rating as Gorilla Glass." -- that doesn't mean THIS camera lens, it means camera lenses in general. Also make note of the fact that they said LENS and not "LENS COVER". The camera lenses are those little round things.

Yes. Maybe android authority is talking camera lenses material in this case and not lens covers.
Lens cover is maybe corning made or something similar that would not scratch or break easily.

I contacted support, they don't know either.
I was wondering why I'm worried about scratching them without protection but with protection I'm afraid of losing image quality.
The OnePlus 6T I used specified sapphire crystal.
Don't know what type of glass is, but I guess it will handle almost the same as the screen or the back.
Anyway, it's better to have it protected.
these two videos leave me with even more doubts, in one it seems scratched by the sandpaper, in the other by the cutter it doesn't

You can't compare sandpaper with cutter blades.
The sandpaper, as you can guess by the name, mostly will have sand on it, and sand it's a very, very, very, hard material, and it can scratch almost all type of glass, unless you have a "glass" made of diamond.
Almost all the cutter blades are made of a soft material compared with Gorilla Glass or other hard glass for example.
The best you can do is protect it with a case or even with some type of skin on it.
The aluminum part of the visor it's even worst, it's a very, very, very soft material, and almost everything will scratch it easily.
If you usually carry it in your pockets, small dust sand particles on it can easily scratch the camera visor and the camera lens protection.

Almost all the cutter blades are made of a soft material compared with Gorilla Glass or other hard glass for example.
The best you can do is protect it with a case or even with some type of skin on it.
The aluminum part of the visor it's even worst, it's a very, very, very soft material, and almost everything will scratch it easily.
If you usually carry it in your pockets, small dust sand particles on it can easily scratch the camera visor and the camera lens protection.

Thank you very much, you have been very thorough. Obviously I use a cover and it doesn't bother me to think that the metal part can be damaged, the only fear is the glass for fear of losing photographic quality
