[Q] Camera lense protectors?

I have an Otterbox, which is overall great, but I noticed the camera lenses are unprotected. They also seem to attract my fingers, and I've been using my lint-free cloth to clean them frequently.
Are there any products out that you can put over the lenses to protect them from scratches?
Thanks!

Razer camera lens : I'm worried of scratches!!! Any tips

Last year jerry rig post a durability test of the razer phone... It leave permanent marks on the body .... And camera even with razor blade with level 5... Lots of cameras like pixel , oneplus and iphone doesnt has this problem.. Anyone has found a glass lens protector for razer?. I m using a rugged spigen cover that protect a little the lens but i want to be sure
any suggestion or link
i live in italy

Put anything over it and it will affect picture quality I bet. I have the same Spigen. Don't worry about it, just don't be stupid with it..

Have you noticed scratch even with spigen cover?

Camera vinyl skin or protector?

Does anyone know where I can buy a skin for the camera or a full camera tempered glass, not just the circles?

Here you can find a camera skin
https://dbrand.com/shop/lg-v20-skins

Slickwraps.com has a skin for the camera as well. You can't buy it separate like you can on dbrand.com but after you factor shipping in... You might as well grab the full skin. Slickwraps seems like they are always having a flash sale so you can grab a full skin at a decent price. That and slickwrap has a sticker for the fingerprint sensor that I don't see on dbrand.com.
I got the matte black from slickwraps. What I ended up doing was tracing the camera skin on another sheet of paper. That way I can either cut plastic covers for the camera lenses myself that will fit in or just over the skin if I cut the circle a little larger. Or you can just cut a larger plastic screen the size of the camera skin itself. I know it's not tempered glass protection but it's something and can look pretty clean if you know how to use some scissors. Maybe I can post a photo of how mine looks later.

Matte silicone TPU case cover BLACK

This cover is matte, smooth and probably scratch resistant to some point, very grippy. It has cut outs for volume buttons, camera and fingerprint sensor. It covers up to the front of the phone. The case is thick enough to raise around 1 millimeter above the camera, so the camera is pretty safe (not completely safe).
Attached some detailed pictures.
Bought it on Amazon. The seller's pictures are wrong.

Does camera lens protector affect images quality?

Thinking of getting a camera lens protector to protect it from scratches but worried it will affect the image quality. Any comments?

It sucks up 5% of the light, but the quality itself is not affected.

Might have some light reflections in your pictures when you use a cheap one.

No reflections at all here...

where did you get the camera lens from man? Looking forward to buying one for me Xperia 5 too!

Am I missing something, isn't the lens already covered in Gorilla glass 6?
As long as your case lifts the lens off the surface when you put it down, you shouldn't need an extra cover.
Any extra layer over the lens is going to degrade picture quality.

I tested one and found it introduces both glare and tends to diminish clarity. I would recommend against putting one on.
This is also similar to tempered glass or hydrogel front screen protectors. The front camera is so poor IMHO that it needs as much light as possible and nothing to dimish clarity.

Yeap, anytime you add optic elements like this you degrade the performance.
Almost all smartphone cams have built in lens protectors. That piece of glass or plastic isn't the lense, it's the protector!
Get a good case with a raised guard around the cam module and it will be fine.
Replacements aren't that expensive anyway.

Thanks for the inputs. Previously, my old xperia z's lens got covered in scratches during one my trip overseas. But eventually I managed to rub off the entire coating hence removing the scratches. That's why i started looking into lens protector.
