Do you think the camera lens is going to get scratched by laying the phone down on its back (meaning we need to be careful) or is the lens inside the lip?

I heard the lens is made with Sapphire glass. If that's true, I don't think it's going to scratch very easily, but I guess we'd need someone to confirm whether this is true or not.
From THIS video you might be able to gather some answers for your question!
The camera lens is a little recessed under the aluminum bezel around it so there is no direct contactbetween the glass and the surface where you are laying down the phone..
Yes, the camera lens is sapphire glass. You're gonna have a hard time scratching that.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corundum = Sapphire.
FYI Gorilla Glass is about 6 on that scale.
Have you seen HTC 10 v Galaxy E7 drop test? HTC is hard as nails

Anyone know of a good case that will help even out the back so that the phone isn't resting on the camera "nipple" when it's laying flat? I don't normally use cases, but I want to get something that will help prevent the camera ring from getting scratched up over time. The Cruizerlite cases don't seem to quite be thick enough.
There are plenty of cases that protect the camera lens - check the cases sticky thread.
Official C700 clear case protects it, only 'just'

Thanks, dude. That looks like exactly what I need!
How many of you use those bulky cases?
do you want to appreciate the design work the guys at htc have made?
but still want your own style?
how many of you have tried wrap skins on your one.

Post your HTC one with a custom skin
No offense, but you are talking about apreciating Htc One style, and you post picture of htc one wrapped in skin (Ok, back maybe, but the front speakers are disgusting imho).
And then this cheapo chinese bumper.
My advice: remove that bumper, it won't save you from any bumps, nor screen cracking. Neither it will protect your phone from scratches. As I have seen inside of this case, it may scratch your phone even more. Remove front facing speaker stickers and enjoy and appreciate design of your phone.
PS: If you are doing all of this to protect your phone and for "resale value", check online, how much does used m7 cost. In one more year, it won't have "any" value.
Recently, my z3 compact got scratched and i want to replace it.
However, i just want to replace the translucent plastic but not the whole middle housing.
Where can i buy the translucent plastic or i need to buy a whole middle housing
Thanks
Anyone？

Are you talking about replacing the glass back? It's a single piece.

i'm not talking about the glass back, it is the plastic part of the middle housing.

From what i have seen, only option is the entire middle section. It's attached to the main/center frame
It would be nice just to get the plastic.
So it arrived in the post this morning, thought I'd show it and give an opinion
I still had the protector on from factory

Which isn't a bad protector tbh and its what I'll be going off as I've not seen the screen without it.
Here's the packaging
So after I installed it, it is a tiny bit thicker than that one already on it. I used the hinge method to install which is pretty idiot proof.
But its a millions times smoother! And wow, the screen looks so much better. I couldn't quite believe the difference it makes. None of that yellow tinge stuff with slight blur, this makes everything look so much better and crisper whilst staying beautifully clear and silky smooth
It's such an improvement. If you have the stock one on get a tempered glass one and bin it
The cutouts on this are really good and it has the 2.5D radius edge
For the price this is excellent and well worth the money
And the best part is you can hit it with a hammer and it won't break.

Since I don't have a warranty anymore (small crack on screen) and the phone had some hits on corners, thought why not peal the paint off? And voila. Say hello to my chrome-ish friend :laugh:
Not an easy task...it is a wax on wax off mr Miyagi task.

Nice! How did you do it?
U
Sandpaper and nail sandpaper. And a lot of scrubbing. Need to cover camera and flash and screen. Pay attention to the buttons. Lost some of the power button thickness.
You can put the HTC Logo again with a CO2 laser
What about the antennas

I didn't covered them. They turned up very good.
Now get something like Semi-Chrome polish and remove the surface scratches. The stuff is designed for firearms and stainless steel things like motorcycle exhausts and so forth. It will really smooth that up nice(er).
And of course, cover the screens and camera again.
Looks good though.
