I just got the Ballistic SG MAXX Case and I was wondering if there's something I can get to protect the rear camera from getting scratched??
I had the same question a couple weeks ago and the only solution I came across was to purchase a rear skin. Most skins for the n5 come with a piece to give the camera some protection against scratches.
Can you suggest a skin worth getting that will protect my screen and camera??
But, will it downgrade the camera quality?
I saw this post a while back with a diy solution. maybe worth a shot since it's almost free.

Buddy of mine picked up a cheap case and screen protector combo off Ebay and the case looks sweet as it doesn't hide the phone like most cases but the camera lens isn't protected as it protrudes through the back cutout. My main concern is the camera lens. Has anyone come across a clear case whose back side cut out hole allows the camera lens to remain recessed inside the case?
Ideally i think everyone would love to find a case with a retractable back window for the camera.
I don't know who makes my case. I got it at best buy. I can lay the camera down on any surface without worrying about the lens. Having it roll around in your pocket with your keys is another story so I'm still careful with it but i was hoping to find a new case that retains some of the Evo's good looks.
On a side note, has any case manufacturer engineered a solution to this problem yet?

As far as I know there aren't any cases that protect the camera. One suggestion was to cut a cheap screen protector to go over the lens.

Right but my existing case protects the camera somewhat because the camera isn't sticking out of the case. Smart design. Wondering if there was a similar clear case on the market.

Anyone have any experience with these? Looks like a good alternative to using a case if getting camera lens scratched is your main concern. It looks like it would be able to fit between the E4GT's camera lens and led flash?
Reviews say its just a plastic ring and adhesive. You could probably make something yourself.

Agreed I could do that. But I'm lazy and it does come with two so it's only $3 each. I should get it by Wednesday.
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.

I am trying to find a brand of screen protector that provides both front and back coverage. For the back I am mainly interested in a circular film to protect the protruding camera lens.
Back then xtreme guard full body kit had an offer that gives both front and back protection. Has anyone who has received their kit care to share how it fits for the back?

No protection for the camera lens. I still have the screen it came with from Google.
I think what you are after is a case for your phone. I myself tried a few but they’re just a little too bulky for me..I'd much rather protect my screen and get a GEARMAXX screen protector which sells on ebay for cheap but they're high quality and durable!
