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.

I've had this phone for about 3 weeks now, and i just noticed i have couple small thin scratches in the lens of my camera. Scratches doesnt affect picture quality yet, but if it keeps scratching at the same speed soon all pictures will be blurry.
I'm wondering is it possible to replace the protective glass in front of the actual lens. Anyone done it before? How much does it cost?
same problem here too
same problem here !
wonder if there is a protection case for the lense like a sliding mechanism to close the cam for protection like at the good old nokia 6680
There are few listings on eBay for Galaxy S camera modules, but looking at some of the pictures, they don't seem be sold with the front cover.
Anyways, why don't you put a piece of clear tape over it ? I did that few days after I received my phone. Didn't notice a difference in image quality.
I'm using Realook screen protector and it comes with camera lens protection film as well (x2). Works great.
I've had a silicon rubber bump case (covering sides and back) since end of July on my SGS and don't have any scratches at all on the lens.
I bought this after the plastic 'black-nickel effect' bezel marked in my pocket on day one of owning it.
It keeps the lens about 1.5mm away from pocket surface.
I work in the buidling trades and my pockets get full of abrasive dust.
I stopped using a screen protector after a couple of weeks when I found out screen was definitately gorilla glass. So far so good.

What I done when I had my Galaxy in its silicon case was I folded the screen wipe cloth up and placed this over the lens. The case held it in and this made sure that nothing scratched it while it was in my pocket. I quickly ditched the silicon case for a leather pouch which has a soft lining.
It's kinda pity that Samsung selected a regular glass for the rear camera lens, and not the same glass as they put on the display.
Even before I got my phone I purchased an SGP Ultra Oleophobic screen protector, It also came with a 100% clear film for the camera lense and its working great!
mine dirt is inside the glass a white tiny particle
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've tried a couple of tempered glass screen protectors so far (supershieldz and dmax) and both of them leave a few mm glass on all sides. This couples with the ringke case leaves a gap for dust to collect.
I was wondering this this phone has a flat screen, not curved at the edges, would there be a way to get a screen protector that completely covers it right to the edge or with a very small gap(<1mm).
Does anyone know of a glass protector like that which will cover 100% of the front face?
Thanks
@intelliARMOR have said they are making one in the next month once they get their first batch of more case friendly screens out.
i had problem with my glass screen protector for sony z5, after a week the glass has moved a little bit and now it doesn't sit well, anyone had this problem?
any recommenced screen protector
Some people... It is not a problem with your Phone if your screen protector moved itself or because you didn't put it on properly. I am using a Mumbi 9H Real Glass Screen protector, I can only recommend it.
The proximity sensor still works ?
That's the only thing to take into consideration,
if all else still works - no problemo

I am using a generic Z5 front glass protector , from the looks of it , it has 2.5d curves, 9H hardness and proximity , front camera holes are there. The shop guy installed it kinda tilted so when i came home , i removed it with bare hands, wipe the screen with wipes several times to my liking and then remove 2 small fibers from the adhesive side of the glass protector with a hard piece of polymer very carefully and then re installed it correctly. Now its perfect.
Some days later I bought another glass protector (generic) of Xperia Z4 front and installed it at the back side of the Z5 completely covering the camera lens cover (which is made of plastic and prone to scratches ). As the front glass protector of the Z4/Z3+ has only the proximity hole cut out at the right of the glass protector , it almost covers the whole back side of my Xperia Z5. The only problem is that the area of the camera and flash are in kind of a low plane than that of the rest of the back glass. So there is always a gap of air bubble in the camera lens area. It doesnt cause any distortion or problem with taking pictures so far. As long as the sides are closed tightly i think the camera lens is safe. but if they fall loose and dusts get inside then i am screwed.
So far this is my story with my Xperia Z5 Dual E6683.
i use the glass protector from Premyo, the fitting is really good and nothing moved so far.
Hi
the factory screen protector ruined after few weeks of live. :-((
a small bubble appeared onto the surface, and I would like to remove the screen film protector
AFAIK the LCD glass screen should be a Gorilla glass 5,... i.e. the LCD glass itself is harder than the "protector"...
Could you give me some advice on HOW to safely remove the damaged screen protector ?
May I warm it before removing ?
Which temperature is suggested , not to damage the IC o the phone ?

The factory screen protector is made of plastic and can be removed without any heat or trouble. Just use a finger-nail or the tip of a razor blade to get one corner lifted and then easily peel the rest of it off.

My screen protector also formed a bubble near the camera and was absolutely poor quality which actually led to MORE scratches than without a protector. I now have a tempered glass protector installed and feel safe now.
