Hi guys i have a question S22 ultra camera lens protector does affect image quality? Anyone have done comparision? Do you have pictures? Have a nice weekend.
Yes it will degrade the image; refraction, ghosting, and possibly other optical anomalies.
The phone already has a lense protectors built into the rear cover. They are replaceable if damaged. Use a case with a raised guard to protect them. Clean with a dry microfiber cloth.
Would you recommend any good case? Spigen thin fit is fine?

Zizo Bolt, excellent drop protection, doesn't attract dirt, grippy, easy to clean.
The screen protector may be a toss, don't know.
The case kick stand tends to break but doesn't effect protection. It all I use on my N10+'s, zero damage. It will soak up a 2-4 foot concrete corner hit with ease. Good spen corner protection.
Thx for reply, im looking for something not that fancy looking. Actually im using spigen thin fit with esr lens protector and im just thinking about removing esr. Im just curious if thin fit from spigen is enought to cover and protect camera lenses well.

Forget how it looks. That's a very heavy phone that loves to corner hit when dropped and face plant. The Bolt isn't that thick and easy to hold.
It won't come apart in a multiple impact drop.
It protects the mobo, cams, etc from damaging high G loads. Hasn't marred my frame rails in over 2 years of use... I live in the desert and it's dusty.
I have the spigeon and it's pretty decent but I think the TORRAS Clear case is much more protection and is more comfortable in the hands. It feels literally like air bags. Camera protection is good with that case too. I only use spigeon for the kickstand. For screen protectors I find the EGV Screen protectors to be the best out of all the ones I've found. As of right now I'm not using a screen protector because all of them have a negative effect on spen performance or cause issues when swiping text on keyboard. The screen feels very good to the touch when it's naked.
I Don't see any differences with or without lenses.
Will try in the night too.

I used mocolo camera protect in Note 9 and photo quality were worse. Next i tryied protect cameras island in Fold 2 and too i saw worse photo quality, especially in evening or night.
So now i don't use any camera protection and i am happy with full photo quality without scratichng on the camera island/lenses.
I use the ESR lens protectors. No issues in 3 months, day or night. There are reviews on Youtube comparing the lens covers with and without and results are exactly the same.
Yes it affect image quality. Not so much but still affect.

From my personal experience, the lens protections aren't altering a lot the pictures quality, if they do, it's so slight that I've never noticed anything that would make me suspicious.

Try shooting at the longest telephoto setting with and without a camera lens protector. You'll see differences.
I got these and I have not noticed any degradation in image quality. Sorry if that defies your physics. I've taken shots of the moon that don't look any different before I had the camera protectors on the phone. None of the photos I've taken show any artifacts.
I don't like scratches on my camera glasses, and I don't think it's not cheap to replace them either once scratched.

Are they coated with an anti reflective coating to prevent ghosting? What about flaring?
Is the protector perfectly flat?
Otherwise it will cause optical aberrations.
Even if all the above conditions aren't a concern you will create refraction that doesn't need to be in the optical pathway. That will degrade the image in itself.
There's no sense in protecting the lense protector with a second one
Guard it with a case only.
You paid big bucks for this cam system that was carefully engineered. Why screw that up with unnecessary add ons?

I feel you. I hate when my phone gets marred.
This heavily N10+ is almost 3 yo and lives in the dusty desert. Not even a micro scratch on the lense protector that I can spot. Like on the S22U it's part of the rear cover. Sold separately too I believe.
The S22U is 30gm heavier than N10+, it's not going to like getting dropped. The only thing the N10+ likes to do more then corner hit when dropped is face plant. I use the Zizo Bolt, the phone is still in perfect condition. Without it this N10+ be toast.
Worry about and protect the stuff that's expensive and hard to replace; display, frame, and mobo.
For me personally it dose especially with the 10x .. but i rather lose quality then it breaks so

]I have removed the antishatter film from the front and rear of my Xperia Z this morning. This was much easier than i expected by just easing up a corner with a pin then pulling and they came off really easily. There seemed to be no glue residue but i just wiped both both glass screens with nail polish remover to remove anything that may have been left.
The final result is a much more responsive feel if that was possible the screen seems even brighter and i now have no static attraction of dust and fluff. Overall i wish i had done it as soon as i unboxed. The Sony logo on the front is lost but that doesn't bother me at all as this makes for an even cleaner look

Fingerprints were much worse on shatter film no where near as many on glass.
The biggest benefit for me though was less static which with the film on was attracting loads of dust and fluff.

No not really but the anti shatter film would scratch really easily and looks awful when it does this is my main reason for removing. A good quality screen cover rather than the anti shatter film would be much less prone to scratching. Personally though I'll go naked and keep in my leather case when in my pocket etc.
The only thing what keeps me away from pulling off that Screen Protector is that there's no oleophobic coating on the Glass. The screen must be full of finger prints which can't be easily wiped off

I've found that I'm getting less fingerprints now than I did before removing the shatter film.
I've just bit the bullet & removed the 'anti shatter film' from the front & rear.
I use the phrase 'anti shatter film' very loosely because after taking it off I've decided it's not some magical 'film' at all.
It's a big, thick, screen washing, scratch magnet of a screen protector & nothing more.
The only reason one would find more fingerprints & harder to clean is because, although impossible to see, removing the 'film' does leave residue.
Indeed, prints were left all over & looking thick but after several wipes with some UVEX lens wipes I use at work have cleared any residue & the screen hardly picks up prints.
Dust collecting on the screen is also massively reduced.
As for the naked screen on the eye all I can say is it looks MUCH more vibrant with an enhanced premium feel & look to the device overall.
Colours have more clarity also.
I will also state that removing the 'anti shatter film' does NOT do anything to change viewing angle issues AT ALL.
I was wondering if anyone knew where I could buy a tempered glass protector for the lens of the S6. The camera lens sticks out quite a bit, and I have my phone in my pocket with keys and other objects.
On past phones such as the Note 2 and 3, the glass has always been scratched, to the point on my Note 3 where it hindered the sensor.
I bought the full body and it came with a full camera lens and hole cover. All the other full body kits leave the hole uncovered.

Just bought one. We'll see how it turns out. $0.99 isn't too much to lose if it sucks.
Sorry i'd post pics of it on the phone but I don't own an S6 anymore. Mine was a tiny metal ring around the camera lens. I felt safe enough to use the phone without a case with it on. The only thing is you gotta align the protector properly or it might block the camera.

I doubt it. You could just get a cheap $1 screen protector for any old phone from ebay (not an anti-glare one) and cut it to fit, however you risk losing some functionality of the heart sensor if it is obstructed.
Alright. Finally got the thing in the mail. I use the Ringke slim case and the Nillkin glass screen protector, and I am very happy with the look and feel of the coverage and protection. Adding this thing on was a bit of a disappointment, Without the case, it is like wearing a ten gallon hat on your knee. Painfully obvious. It sticks out and leaves a gap between it and the phone. With the case on, it isn't so bad. It stays beneath the lens protecting "bump" of the case and it doesn't interfere with photos. I have ttached pics with and without the case to illustrate my thoughts on it.

I was sent the Poetic Revolution case to review, so let’s get things started.
This case currently sells for $16.95 on Amazon.
UPDATE: It is now listed at $12.95

}
The Poetic Revolution is a ruggedized two-piece case. The inside portion is made from polycarbonate and the outside is wrapped in a TPU material to provide grip and absorb shock. There is polycarbonate reinforcement on the backside and corners as well. It is a bulkier case, but that is the trade-off for added protection. The color is listed as black/dark grey, but the TPU is actually more of a brownish grey color, which I am not overly fond of. There is a lanyard loop on the top left corner that allows you to attach it to your backpack, belt loop, or anything else you can think of. I have no use for the lanyard loop, so I would prefer it without. It also has a built in screen protector like that of the Otterbox Defender and Unicorn Beetle. I am personally not a fan of rugged cases, so I have no experience with either of the cases listed above and cannot compare the quality or built in screen protector. Poetic also says it is water resistant, but I don’t get paid enough to test that claim, haha. The overall look and feel of the case externally is quite good. However, there is a major flaw with the function of this case, which I will explain later in the review.
The phone snaps into the inner polycarbonate shell and then slips into the outer TPU cover. A little instruction cutout is included, giving you step by step instructions on how to separate the two pieces of the case. A brief overview of the instructions states that your are supposed to use the carabiner loop to separate the corner and then run your finger down the edges and remove the inner shell, after opening both dust covers for the headphone jack and USB-C port. Installation was a little tricky at first and took a couple of tries to get it right, but once the case is on, it is very solid and fits together well.
The volume buttons are separated and button presses felt good, no issues there. No troubles with taking screen shots either. The port cut outs seem to have enough room around them. I read that some people were having trouble charging the device with the case installed, that was not the case for me. Of the 3 USB-C cables I tried, every one of them worked and the plug was not touching the case from any side, although it was close. The fingerprint sensor cut out is angled and there were no problems using the sensor.
The “Revolution” text on the side of the case looks cheap in my opinion and takes away from the look. The “P” logo on the back is above the fingerprint sensor and honestly where it should’ve been on the Affinity. The kick stand is easy to use and feels fairly sturdy. It provides a 45 degree viewing angle in portrait mode, and a 75 degree viewing angle in landscape mode.
Now, onto the flaw I mentioned earlier.. The built in screen protector. There’s really no way around it, the built in screen protector kills this case. There is about a 1/8 inch gap between the devices screen and the built in protector on the case. This makes using the phone in any way basically impossible. The only way to get the device to register a touch is to use a lot force. I do have a tempered glass screen protector already installed, but I believe the results would be the same regardless. I tried putting it on and taking it off multiple times, but that made no difference. I’m not sure if I received a faulty case or not, but not having the built in screen protector would be infinitely better.
In conclusion, the Poetic Revolution looks good and has a nice amount of protection, but the built in screen protector makes the phone unusable and that flaw cannot be overlooked. Even at $16.95, I cannot recommend the Poetic Revolution.
is there a way of not installing the screen protector itself.... I like the ruggedness of the case... but that flaw would need to looked by me once I receive mine...

The screen protector looks to be adhered to the inner shell of the case. I'm sure it could be modified and removed though. I haven't read of any one else having this issue with this case, so maybe it's just mine.

I've never been a fan of built in screen protectors and will most likely remove it. However I believe a product should not have to be modified in order to work properly.
I had no way of providing an exact measurement, so that was a rough estimate. It is probably closer to a 1/8 inch gap. I will update my original post.
Those built-in protectors never work well, but they're horrible if you have a screen protector already installed, especially a tempered glass. I usually have removed them from my Otterbox cases and used either a Spigen crystal or a tempered glass screen protector in the past. On the Otterbox, they just Peel off gently and you can scrape the glue off after. A heatgun would probably be even quicker. I do agree that is sucks to have to pay for a premium case (26 bucks in Canada) and then mod it. I am a service tech in the HVAC industry though, and if I don't have a rugged case on the phone will be dead in a few months.

It's very easy to remove, all you have to do is push it out starting at the corners and carefully peel it off. The downside is that it leaves sticky residue on the case, but you can remove it without too much hard work.
As we all know, the camera lense is not the strongest one around and it needs a cover or protector of some kind. I'm wondering if there is such a thing available anywhere, or any other alternatives on how to protect the lens? Thanks!

Looks great but I'm having trouble sorting out exactly what this "Camera lens bezel skin" does. This covers the lens bezel. Is the idea that it keep the round back circle around the lens (the bezel) from scratching or does it also offer some protection to the camera lens itself? Thanks.
Im guessing the area around the camera glass. A lot of people have been noticing how easy it is forbthat area to get scuffed up. But i would think this would also help a little with the actual camera lens from getting scratched since the skin would prob lift it off any flat surface a little.

Yeah lol. I just re-read the op. I guess I had it in my mind the outter bezel is what he was referring to since I've seen more people complain about that area.
Only thing I've seen is this. The reason lens protection is so hard to come by is because it can obscure pictures. Especially anything with an adhesive back (like the one i linked). The residue can cause images to look "hazy" especially in low light situations.
My lens glass has cracked on both my G4 and my V10 and I blame the poor design of having it protrude from the rest of the back. It should have been the opposite. Unfortunately this causes very ugly light streaks in dim settings when taking a picture. The only thing I've found to remedy this by buying a replacement which was surprisingly cheap. $10. However, the auto-focus and macro capabilities never seem to be the same afterwards. Sigh.

Only thing I've seen is this. The reason lens protection is so hard to come by is because it can obscure pictures. Especially anything with an adhesive back (like the one i linked). The residue can cause images to look "hazy" especially in low light situations.
My lens glass has cracked on both my G4 and my V10 and I blame the poor design of having it protrude from the rest of the back. It should have been the opposite. Unfortunately this causes very ugly light streaks in dim settings when taking a picture. The only thing I've found to remedy this by buying a replacement which was surprisingly cheap. $10. However, the auto-focus and macro capabilities never seem to be the same afterwards. Sigh.

I replaced my lens and don't have any issues with auto focus or macros. I did before the replacement but not after.
My glass lens protector and a few spares.

As we all know, the camera lense is not the strongest one around and it needs a cover or protector of some kind. I'm wondering if there is such a thing available anywhere, or any other alternatives on how to protect the lens? Thanks!

Hello,
I am just about to order an H961N from Ebay and since my main priority for it will be it's camera, I intend to protect it using a PDair leather Flip Case.
http://www.pdair.com/index.php/lg-v10-flip-wallet-case.html
As you will see this case fully protects the rear of the camera but still allows it to be used in a hurry when required.
Having used one of these on my Nokia N8 for the last 5 years (yes really!), I know it is both well made and effective. My N8 still looks like new and takes good photos
albeit not now up to V10 standards.

www.taobao.cn , but they don't ship international directly, but you can use a consolidate service offer by taobao, but very expensive.

Someone mentioned the poor quality and the size of the protector(too small).

I can't find anything about the poor quality, being too small is not about quality, the buyer just got the protector from the wrong seller, I got 2 set from two different seller, one being too small, I think the seller just wanted to sell them and sold it as a V10, the second set is the correct size, fit's exactly within the size of the V10 lens.
have anyone tried this one? a little expensive i guess http://www.amazon.com/Martin-Fields-Overlay-Screen-Protector/dp/B0198T4AA4/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1463978276&sr=8-1&keywords=lg+v10+camera+protector
Just get an Obliq case. It's very functional, looks super cool and is just high enough to protect the bezel without obstructing the camera function
eh, it looks like it would have no real protction. i dropped my gs5 and broke the glass that covered the lense. i would love to have some kind of extra glass screen to go over it.
This is experiential.
Most of curved tempered glass only has adhesive on the perimeter. This can adversely affect touch sensitivity.
Recently, I discovered a type of glue (LOCA or liquid optical clear adhesive) which requires UV light to fix. This is possible to be used as "filler".
Before installing for real for first time, use two unused glass plate
Put a drop of glue and glass #1 and cure it and feel it. If it's like "credit card glue" (weak adhesive and easy to remove), try to bond with same glue. Put another drop on glass A and bond it with glass B and cure the bond. If the glass can be separated without too much effort. Go to the real work.
The phone MUST be on 100% leveled surface to avoid mess. Drop the glue on the middle of the screen from top to bottom (or bottom to top)
Put on the glass plate and observe the glue spread evenly. You can apply a bit pressure to push out excessive glue, and wipe away leaked glue.
Use UV light to cure the glue. The duration depends on the previous experiment. If the glue cured after 15 minutes, it takes 20-25 minutes to cure.
Hopefully this method can help touch and fingerprint scanner issue.
You need a weak and easy to remove bond so you won't break the screen upon removal.
Im thinking about "fixing" my cracked screen like this sort of. Using the loca between the phone and the glass screen protector to hopefully fill in the small crack channel and not be a botherance.
I've used Loca for other phones. That stuff is really durable, even on phones with curved screens. Looking to test this with my Edge.
guys its here not my item but ive ordered to try aswell https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001855747792.html?spm=a2g0o.cart.0.0.14293c00pc3tYE&mp=1
Um there are tempered glass protector screens that use UV based adhesives...
If you go this route probably should clean off the adhesive on the protector and use just the UV cure bonding. Otherwise you will probably run into issues with screen placement and air bubbles.

I bought them and they arrived and they're pretty easy to apply if you're used to Whitestone Dome Glass screen protectors.
You dont get a jig to fit them perfectly like Whitestone provide and the glass itself it not as good either but for the amount they cost they're actually good and fit well.
I checked the link - watched the application video - had a stroke.

Could you please show me what these protective glass panes actually look like? And if it's not hard for you , please show how they look on the phone.
I decided to glue the glass with UV adhesive. Films are torture already peeled on the side edges.
It turned out not so great clearances between the glass and the cover on the sides. My finger doesn't cling to the edge of the glass.
Oleophobic not bad. Glued Mocolo glass with UV adhesive for Sams S20 +, it will be worse.
The frontal camera shoots fine, the image is not blur out from the glue, there is no distortion.
Touchscreen, fingerprint work fine.
The seller said that the glass is from Imac. I didn't buy it in China, I bought it in my home country. But I think this IS IT

I like the no hole style much better as a hole collects trash, is unattractive and complicated installation.
It does add extra layers of refraction* and extra material that will degrade the image to some degree. Since I rarely use the front cam this be a fair tradeoff for me, but some may notice and not like it.
*screen glass>adhesive>glass protector, 2 extra refraction zones that the light needs to pass through.
I don't know, I don't see any distortions.

Hey Sudman,
I was wondering if you could provide any feedback. How does the fingerprint and touch sensitivity do after installing? How well do they resist scratches and oil? Are they easy to remove? Can they be used with as shell or bumper? Anything else someone should know before buying them?
What is the Edge 5g? Is that a 3rd Edge variant apart from the Edge + and Edge regular (both of whom have 5g)? Its really confusing.
