Anyone know where I could get a protector for the camera lens? Or how I would go about making something to protect it myself? I've had my Wildfire just over a month and its starting to scratch already. Thanks
Look for a 3M protective film for the screen, special for wildfire. Mine came also with a small circular protective film designed to protect the lens.
Add on top of that a silicon case and your phone will last a lifetime. Unscratched, anyways.
My phone is already protected with a silicone case and screen protector The closest thing I can find is a 3M Vikuiti Screen Protector, is this the same?
Yes. That's the one. The downside is you will have frequently the surface covered up in grease from your skin, when you talk.
Ordered, thanks!
I will buy it too , camera scratch really much.Screen is not so susceptible on scratches.

can you give a link please ?
I must buy it too! I will buy it for sure.
is there any type of screen protector material for the chrome on the camera? I hear it gets scratched very easily
Maybe Zagg will make one. Most reviewers see how it scratches so easy.
AT&T will sell the Zagg full body at least. I'm going to try to cut out a custom fit from reg screen protector.
That's a pretty small piece to protect. Knowing Zagg, it'll be $10 + shipping for just that piece.
Alternatively, you can get a silicon skin for the whole phone which I heard fits pretty snug and doesn't add a lot of bulk.
I just bought the gel case and it keeps the back of the phone off the objects you lay it on

People just cut out a piece of clear packaging tape and put it over then chrome! I did just that

I used Incipio case and so far the chrome hasn't been scratched even though it's not completely covered.
food wrap film will do it
I bought the skinomi carbon fiber full body screen protector. It protects every part of the phone including the chrome. Got if from amazon. Might be something to consider.

I got the full body protector from Zagg for $9 + s&h, off of Amazon. I also have & love the silicon skin, can barely tell it's there.

Awesome idea.... Gonna go and do that now. Thanks man!
The store employees repeatedly offered me a "cleaning pad" that stuck to the back side of the phone. They put it on the camera metal. They would come take it off to wipe the screen and then just replace it on the back over the camera metal again.
I just got the Skinomi carbon fiber full body screen protector, and slapped it on. It looks good, but the quality of the clear screen protector is pretty bad. Not as noticeable when the phone is on, but could be much better. The warranty is lifetime, so I might get another. The carbon look parts look really good, and should protect against normal use.
. Ps, the clear screen protector hadn't dried yet. Now it looks fine. The carbon look is pretty cool..
The guys on this thread who have the Skinomi full body protectors, can you post some photos of it applied to the phone?
I'm in the UK and have a white 900,so I want to see which bits of the phone don't get covered by the skin as the bright white would be very noticable if there are fitment gaps.
I'm actually on my 2nd handset in a week as the buttons on the first one were loose and rattly. However, on that first handset the camera chrome got scuffed in just 2 days even though I kept the phone wrapped in a screen cleaning cloth. I've left the OEM protective film on my new one until I have something permanent, just like the OP has asked for.
As selection of colours for a chrome protector would be cool too. Hopefully someone will come up with this on eBay before long In the meantime I'll cut up a 'generic' screen protector into a make-shift skin for the chrome.
IGG full body protector also covers the chrome on the camera. The only cutout on the back cover is for the camera lens hole and the LED flash hole.
I'm using mine under the black cover so the shiny look isn't a bother for me. Just looking to protect the back from being scratched by the case (or debris that gets between the OEM case and the phone body) which I've seen happen on an N9.
I'm going to make one from a spare screen protector I have. I've just checked an the camera hole is the same size as you get from a hole-punch....so I've got a screen protecter here with me in the office today
Here's my temporary solution, a Nokia cover, a strip of electrical tape and a hole punch.
I'll try to get a decent one cut out so that I don't need to cover it up with the bumper. I may also see if a printing company I've worked with in the past would be able to knock up a few sheets of clear, single-coloured and maybe patterns or designs. Chances are it'll be too expensive, but it can't hurt to ask the question.
Bleh. The chrome on my camera is all scratched up. I hate how it's curved.
Does anyone know what material the chrome elliptical piece is made of in the back of the Lumia 900?
I got a few minor scratches on it and i was wondering if I could buff it out or fill it in with wax or something.
Any ideas?
I believe it is plastic, painted plastic. and it looks to be white under the paint. This is based off of me looking at phones in stores and photos online. Just MHO.
It's a chrome strip. Not painted plastic. Unfortunately I have no idea the durability of that strip so who knows how it will react to buffing.

Yes go ahead and buff it. I used a dremmel with the softest pad and it looks new. Then I covered it with a piece of zagg.
Hi, I'd like to ask if Mi 10T Lite has already factory applied protective foil on the main camera glass. I've noticed little weird spot on one corner of camera that looks like peeling off foil. I'm almost sure that this phone has factory applied protective film on screen but I'm not sure if this exist on rear camera as well.
I thought to. But when I look closer I dont see anything , no foil no nothing, just glass. The only protection is the ring around camera that when you put your phone on table, not screech glass
My one had a soft screen cover. Recently I removed it and fitted a glass one. Much smoother action on screen now. Well worth replacing.
Anyone finds that the metal frame is very easy to scratch from removing or putting on the case ?
any solution to remove these scratches
Well tbh I don't use any case and don't have scratches.

my mate had this issue when he took out the case to put in a screen protector. he used turtle wax (yup, the one used for waxing your car). he dipped a little on an earbud and started rubbing on the scratch. seemed to work.
It was more an issue with the Z Fold 2 and 3 in my opinion. The frame around ebe screen and back glass was wider, and as much as I love and prefer the matte finish, it seemed to scratch easier.
I have that same issue. My official Samsung pen case scratched the hell out of the corners of my frame to the point I just don't use it anymore.
