Evidently our camera lenses aren't made from Gorilla glass also. Today I encountered 2 small scratches across the lens of the rear facing camera while cleaning it with the soft side of my T-shirt. I usually use a micro fiber cloth but have used my T-shirt on all my other phones all the time. This is very disappointing to me, has anybody else experienced this yet?
I have the same problem. There's a couple light scratches on the camera lens. I don't think the lens has gorilla glass unlike the front and back.

but no difference in camera result
mine has got scratches too.but when i compared camera result of mine optimus g to a brand new one there was no difference...
My phone has been in a case since day one, and I found a light small scratch on it.
I think most LGOG come with a small scratch we can't see with the naked eye, I've never touched the lens once.
Could be dust or scratch inside the lens.

I know it sound stupid, but the camera lens does stick out. Is there anything out there that can protect it from getting scratch up?
Typically screen protectors have holes in them for the cameras.
With that said, I am not aware of any. Once i get a case for the device, I am hoping that will extend just a hair past the camera so that it is recessed.
About 99% sure there won't be any. No one wants a film over the lens. Well , mostly no one. Present company excluded.
I have used bestskinsever.com full body on my G1. Covers the camera lens, it does not affect the quality of the camera.
Well the phone does not SIT ON THE LENS....It does sit on the ring around the lens... so we should be fine
looking at mine the lense seems to protrude form the ring.
i found camera phone lense protectors at a store called daiso near my house. only $1.50

Yes, it does...look closely.
Just get either the Body Glove case or Seidio Innocase II and that will fix the camera lens problem. The lens now won't be exposed.
Martin fields screen protectors used to have little pieces they include with their screen protectors for exposed camera surfaces...i dunno if they're gonna make a screen protector for the Evo though
I make my own lense protector.
1. Trace outline
2. Put over extra screen protector from a 5 pack and cut.
As the camera lens front glass seems to rest on the surface when you lay your note on a flat surface i bought a ringke slim case to protect it. Really disliked the case, slippery and made it bulkier.. and bought a samsung original flipcase instead, i like it a lot but my concern is if anyone have had problems with scratched camera lens front glass as the flipcase back is similar to the original backplate?
Nop buddy. Your camera is safe..

If you see the camera lens, its engraved insyd the cover, so a surface wont scratch it. Make sure no sharp object touches the lens, thats all.
I've been using Samsung flipcase for quite some time now.

Thanks, yes you're right..my concern was probably based on that i've seen so many posts about owners of note II mentioning camera protection when they buy a case for it..
B.T.W love the flip cover when taking photos, half open it helps getting stable shots with a lot less shake, I get a better grip around the phone and half open the flip doesn't block the camera lens at all..
I replaced my GS2 casing because of a scratch on the lens. I thought that I scored a good deal on it, but I noticed that it got lots of fine scratches very easily, resulting in a loss of sharpness.
Lesson learnt for me to only use original parts if it ever happens to my GN2.
I have a flip case, but it doesn't offer any shock protection. I'd love a flipcase that does.

It's been a month since I bought the LG G3, and I have been using it with the LG quick circle case. While cleaning my phone today I noticed some micro scratches on the laser auto focus which are visible at a certain an angle. Although this has no effect on the auto-focusing speed, but I am worried that this might cause a problem later on, as those scratches might cause laser distortion.
Are there any ways to remove those scratches( I have tried cleaning it alcohol, but they are still there)?

You can use plastic polish to remove fine scratches. Take the back cover off. Use blue painters tape to tape around the laser lens. Apply plastic polish with cloth. Let it haze over. Buff lens with clean cloth or micro fiber cloth.
Same principle as restoring plastic automotive headlights or acrylic fish tanks.
Isn't there some kind of a protective coating over the lens?

The camera lens might have a protective coating, but I don't think that the laser auto-focus has the same coating, If there were a protective coating it would've been gone by rubbing alcohol.

Actually, the camera lens is made of glass ( not gorilla glass). It can crack, as some users have experienced already. If the laser lens has any protective coating at all, it would not have scuffed so easily. I use a Spigen Slim Armor case on my G3 which protects the camera, laser and flash lenses from scratches when putting the phone on its back. I use a Tech Armor ballistic glass screen protector but that may be OT since the screen is gorilla glass.
Hey guys i have notice just one day out of my regular case my rear camera glass lens is scratched really. not a big issue as camera app does not capture scratched line but still how is it this easy to be scratched. also searching for replacement parts and tutorial how to change lens
i put my phone in my pocket without protecting the back len, no scratch till now. i guess your regular case is extremely dirty.
I've always had that when you see it in the sunlight but my pictures remain good.

ok it happen to me now, i realise the scratch only happen after i remove the screen protector. i suspect that the anodizing of protector is the one that remove the anti scratch property of zenfone 2 screen.
PSA, do not use screen protector if you want to remove it in future.
Yep mine to it has some bad scratches i am really dissapointed with the quality and i was careful at least image quality is still fine
Im still looking for frame or rear glass replacement parts. Incase i need them. Image is fine but all scratched up . Lol
I man handle my phones like crazy no case past and present. I never ever had a scratch on my camera. Either your glass is bad or your doing something terribly wrong
I'm using moto z play two weeks, and I see some scratches on the rear camera, the glass is que has no protection (gorilla glass) ?? somebody else with this problem ??

Mine shipped with a scratch in the AR coating on it! It may be good glass (I dunno) but it looks like the AR coating is very weak. Small recessed glass's don't have to worry about having a durable AR coatings but the huge one on the Z's looks like it going to be an issue for all of them.
Sent it back and already got another one. Spent a few min last night trying to cut down an old screen protector to fit but due to the flash being in the same circle - it causes major blow out when it lights so it needs to be much smaller and the edge needs to be blacked out.

You can protect the camera lens with some "cool" skins, like:
https://dbrand.com/shop/moto-z-skins
or
https://www.slickwraps.com/devices/phones/android/moto-z.html
mine has some lines too, I will get some pulish and after that a skin will help for good
hope it helps
Same here with Moto Z but this is a problem with all Moto devices all moto phones of this year scratch incredibly easy, ALL PHONES, from G4 Play up to Moto Z Force, I don't want to imagine how they will look the lens cameras in a couple of months later... terrible Motorola/Lenovo...
So far the only scratch I have is a small scratch on the top aluminum edge. No scratches on any of the glass. My dbrand skin should be coming some time this week. Black carbon back and white carbon camera.
can the camera glass be replaced?
Mine has some scratches and now that I saw that I'm not alone I knoe that is not my fault. It doesn't hurt the Picture quality but is really annoying
I set my Moto z play on the table and glass cracked can I get it replaced?
