Hey folks,
I'm after a replacement cover for my rear facing camera lens, but I need one with a steel rim, I use multiple camera attachments for fish eye, wide angle and macro lenses which are all magnetized. As it stands currently I have to stick a washer to the lens cover in order to use these lenses.
Ideally I'd like to replace the camera surround itself with a metal rim so I no longer require the washer, this would also improve image quality a bit as the lenses would be closer to the camera.
check ebay saw on for 7$

Is it possible to replace this part and is there anyone that would have a good one? Mine is pretty scratched up from general wear.
thanks,
Harry
I assume you are talking about a camera on the back of the phone? If so:
Are you talking about the lens on the back cover, or are you refering to the lens on the camera itself, under the back cover?
One thing you can do, and I would suggest doing so, is removing the lens cover that is part of the back cover of the phone. One less piece of plastic in the path of the light, and it will also remove the scratches. I have had mine like this for 6 months of heavy use (I've got two kids) and the lens cover on the lens itself doesn't have any damage.
A stupid easy mod to an otterbox commuter case to allow securely sticking a magnetic macro / wide angle lens without phone modification.
Requirements:
Evo 4G
http://sprint.comOtterbox commuter case
http://www.otterbox.comCell phone macro lens
http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.14953JB Weld
The Macro lens comes with sticky metal rings that unfortunately don't stick to the otterbox case due to the recessed camera hole, however building up the camera hole with JB Weld works pretty well and the metal ring fits *perfectly* within the last tiny step.
* Test fit ring to make sure it sits cleanly in camera hole.
* Using a toothpick I *carefully* put the JB Weld on the camera hole stairs little by little to give the ring a good base.
* Take off white sticker film and place ring into JB Weld filled camera hole.
* Work from the inside of the camera hole and fill in any gaps so the JB Weld is filled within the space between the bottom of the metal ring and the open space to the camera hole "stairs"
* Let dry overnight BEFORE attempting to 'stick' a lens
After things are dry you should have a good base for those magnetic camera lenses.
The silver metal ring will look stock on the Otterbox case as long as you were careful with the JB Weld. I would recommend sliding the lens on and off to avoid putting unneeded pressure on the ring once dry.. (why tempt fate?)
The extra distance from the camera to the lens reduces how close the macro lens operates slightly, but is still allows you to get much better picture vs stock.
Good luck!

Very nice, thanks for sharing
nice job!!!!
Can you post some of the images you've taken with the modded lens and maybe provide a comparison to stock?
That is cool.

For Christmas my gf got me a 3 piece accessory camera lens for my one m8. I installed the metal ring that the lenses magnetically stick to on the main rear lens. Pictures looked not sharp. Even without the acc lens installed the pictures seemed still out if focus a bit and brightness was dim. Took the metal ring off and outs look good and sharp again. The metal ring wad on just the outside perimeter of the plastic lens so it seems weird that it would affect light gathering and focus. Looks like black plastic behind that area and it wasn't covering the lens opening at all. Does the lens look through all the surrounding plastic?

Hi
Does somebody know, where could I find replacement battery cover, because mine is badly scratched ?
Also same question for camera lens cover, my pictures are very fuzzy and blurred because of damaged cover lens. Does anybody know if third party phone makers e.g. Meizu, Xiaomi, etc. uses same camera protective glass lens ?
Thanks
I was trying to search battery cover too, but unfortunately, i found nothing. Maybe there is something on ebay, but i dont think so
I've seen the same camera glass design on some Fly model. Which is no surprise cause Wileyfox is a Fly's subbrand.
I'm wondering how durable is the camera lens of z2 plus, is the camera lens prone to scratches and also is the screen quality good?

I got the device few weeks ago and I have some scratches already over the camera lens, I used the cover provided.
