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 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.
I am one of those who likes the phone as is.
Why cover/thicken it up? And gorilla glass sure as heck shouldn't need protection as it only reduces the sensitivity and usefulness - why buy a touch screen if you don't want to touch it in the first place.
BUT
2 days on the TGV's across France and Switzerland and boy was I cursing; the bloody phone slid everywhere ... so it made me think.
Got home and stuck 2 of those clear rubber/plastic kitchen cupboard door dome bumpers (Magnet for those in the UK) on the corners by the camera, and voila you have a non-slide phone and protects the lens at the same time.
Works for me, also helps the grip as your fingers go between the domes.
Each to their own. Hope its helps some.

I also hate casing, but... I hate scratches and dents more.
I've found mine is getting scratched on the 'bump' below the samsung logo. Stupid bit of design that put the most scratchable plastic on the entire phone on the only surface that touches the table.
I like mine au naturel too but it looks like we've no choice but to use a skin or case if you don't like scratches.

That "bump" actually stops the camera lens from getting scratched when place on a flat surface.. dunno why they didnt recess the lens though... or better still stick a lens cover on it!!
Im a case fan personally, yeah I love the look of the phone, but I want it to stay that way.. so Ill wrap it up! makes for good resale value near end of contract!
I stuck a strip of clear sellotape across the hump, prevents scratches until something better pops up
The sellotape works wonders!
I don't care scratches but the reason why I use case is the camera lens because it can be easily scratched and will take worst photo
.:SiLvErHuNk:.
I have a case an cheap one i bought on eBay and it works fine but ive ordered another one and am going to buy a screen protector - SGP Ultra Oleophobic Film which appears to be the best available, when you've spent €450 on a phone the last thing you want is for it to be scratched

Holy cow. Who said Gorilla Glass won't scratch? Jeez. Of course a good screen protector is recommended and also a good case which will protect the device if it drops accidentally.
Regards.
I have got a visible scratch right between the camera lens and the flash....missed both of them...Phew!!!...
so now I have a case always fitted, SP and also a cut out SP for the lens...
Is the camera lens made of glass?
I really don't want to put a protector on it fearing it would alter photos.

I'm pretty sure you won't find a protector that covers the camera. Both my front and back protectors go around the camera.
fairly sure the camera lens is glass- mine already has two small chips in it. Not happy about it, as this is my first of 5+ phones to have anything like this happen to the camera.
Doesn't seem to effect the images, but i am still not pleased.

There is a company that offers a protector for the lens. I forgot which it is, but 1 does have it.

It's the Martin Fields one, 99% sure
sorry to revive this thread but is there anyone that knows for sure if the camera lens cover is glass of plastic? just curious because i have some scratches on mine that i was going to try to buff out with a plastic-x headlight scratch remover.
this stuff works great on hard plastic and just wanted confirmation before applying it to a glass cover. thanks

I don't think buffing is a good idea ...
yea i just have some scratches on the lens cover and was curious of the material. figure if i did try to use the plastic-x i may do more harm then good but was just curious. a little ocd. i guess if they get significantly worse i can always replace the rear housing. thanks
I have tried searching, perhaps I'm looking for the wrong thing. But I'm looking for a "screen protector" for the camera lens. My one already has some very fine scratches on the lens and I'd like to put something over it which can be replaced. I don't want the image quality to degrade in 6 months. This happened on my desire but of course I could just replace the back case. I know I can put my phone in a case and I do have a double dip flip case but I don't always want to carry it in the case.
Any ideas?

My realook screen protector (which I am happy with, even though it was hard to get on) came with lense protectors. At first I thought they were just excess plastic circles from production, then I realized they fit perfectly over the camera lense. They are kind of a pain to apply, scotch tape is your friend for repositioning them.
Get a fish eye for the phone. The little round magnet will keep the lens from resting on anything and getting scratched. Plus, you can take cool pictures when you want.

I used to use Martin Fields Overlay for my HOX, it comes with a protector for the lens. Only issue i had with that screen protector was that it was a little thick and it left a rainbow effect on the screen but in terms of clarity of screen there was no difference or interference. THey make the same protector for the HTC1.

picked this up and cut some out from old screen protectors I had. works great. 3/8" is a good fit.

i noticed when i try to cut them out with scissors or a blade the edges don't stick well. this cutter makes a clean cut and all edges stick to the lens.
At the moment, am not using any cases, and most cases are thin and don't seem to cover the bump. Should I worried about the lens when I keep it in a flat surface? I don't keep it in a rough surface tho.
https://www.gadgetshieldz.in/oneplus-3-screen-protectors-covers-cases.html - They sell full body screen protector, is it necessary to cover the lens too with scratch guard?
The glass on the camera won't easily scratch, so nothing to worry about if you keep it on a table or other flat surfaces.

Well that video just made me cringe. Had to give my OP3 a hug afterwards.

cringed so hard. but i feel good about the crazy level of durability the OP3 has.
GEEZUS he's a maniac lol, awesome build quality tho
Running Android since 1.5..... Boosted OP3
Camera lenses are usually made from sapphire which is nearly on a par with diamond for hardness.
I don't know if the OP3's lens is, but you can gather from the video that the glass on the lens is made of a harder material than the display as he was able to scratch the display but the lens was unaffected.
I always get a camera skin from dbrand just to keep mine safe. Even if I don't skin the rest of my phone, they're cheap and stay put.

That's some serious ceramic! Thanks for the headsup.
My OP3 has a very tiny scratch on the camera. It doesn't show up on the photos so its no biggie. I've cut the screen protector from my nexus 4 to protect the camera until I can get a good case LOL.
My lens cracked the other day as I set it down (not carefully) on a concrete floor. Any place I can get this fixed or parts I can order to replace it?
