So as the title reads my rear metal camera protector just came off as I was removing my new poetic affinity case and am I safe super glueing it back on or open a ticket?
Technically I don't see a problem with super glue, just make sure that you use something that can withstand heat at least up to 60°C.
And ofc make sure it doesn't cover any part of the glass.
That said, I'd open a ticket. This should be covered under warranty.

I assume the piece of glass exposed on the back of the phone is not the actual lens and i just a glass cover. Is it possible to replace this? And is there any good cover to protect it? I just noticed there's already several scratches on the glass. Was wondering if i could easily replace it and also if there was something i could do to protect in the future.
I'd prefer not getting a whole case if possible.
I believe it is a plastic cover, and I have seen replacment ones for sale on the internet, they are a plastic circle with a black ring printed on it.
I believe the price was somewhat high for what it is, like $15-20.
thanks, i think i found it:

Mines broke and it's glass not plastic. I think the replacements are plastic.

I read somewhere that you can go somewhere that processes camera film and get some used disposable cameras for free, and that the lenses from those will fit perfect on the evo. There was a wright up on it i think here at xda.
I noticed a clear plastic cover over my new Vibrant camera lens, and wondered if I should take it off. the corner is already tabbing up, but since the lens isn't gorilla glass like the screen, scratches may ensue and screw up the camera.
Should I leave it on, apply some clear tape, or leave it alone? I do have a silicon case with a window for the lens.
Hmm, I didn't have any plastic cover over the lens on mine. Any cover on the lens would probably degrade image quality. I would take it off, but if you haven't noticed any blurry pictures, leave it on I guess. The case should protect the lense if you take it off though.
It sounds like a good idea, but who knows...I haven't found anything on the web or ebay yet.
If you purchase a screen protector from RealLook, they include a camera lens protector too.
You have to ask for it though. They will not charge you extra.
how would you do that if you got it on amazon
Lol

i would imagine over time the protector would degrade the image quality....so id say take it off and keep it off
In your purchase, you can send the seller a "NOTE"
In the note, you ask them to send you a few extra camera protectors.
If not, call them after you make the order and let them know that' what you want.
Cheers

I run my vibrant totally nude. Screen is still scratch free, but I do have a small scratch over the corner of the camera lens. It doesn't affect the image fortunately but perhaps something to keep in mind.
My lens is nude. I have been heavily using this phone for a couple months now and it appears to be scratch free so far.
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.
This is the second Galaxy Note 4 I purchased with dust under the back camera lens cover. I gently took the second Note 4 out of the box and immediately checked the back camera with a loupe under the right light. Sure enough, the same type of skin dust is under the lens cover sitting right on top of the lens... same as the first GNote4 I bought and returned. Both of them came from AT&T as brand new devices.
Do you think these are returned items or do they come like this straight from the factory or even from the AT&T factory? This is crappy for such an expensive high-end phone.
Is there any way to fix it without making the issue worse? Otherwise I'll have to return this one too. Perhaps the third time will be a charm. This is unacceptable.
Thanks for your advice.
Just a simple question since you said you immediately looked at it after taking it our of the box:
Did you remove the protective plastic from over the lens? It is hard to see and and the phone takes great pictures even with on (not as good as when it is off but still not noticeable if you are not aware).

Thanks. That's the first thing I looked at since my last Note 4 had the same issue. Yes, I was aware of the protective plastic but I was looking through the hole. I did take it off anyway and it was still there below the glass lens cover sitting right on top of the actual lens.
I was not aware you could take great photos with the protective plastic still in place.
I was wondering if there's anything I can do to fix this? HERE in the 5th post down, this guy says he looked at 5 Note 4's and each one had dust under the lens cover.
Thanks.
Edit, I just added a photo of the lens. This is supposedly a BRAND NEW GN4 just out of the box.. You can see the dust sitting right on top of the lens and there's finer dust around the sides or bellows. This all looks like skin particles.
That photo looks like it still has the plastic on it.
See the plastic?
Thanks. I should have taken the photo with the lens protector off to avoid confusion. Like I said, I removed the plastic protector and the dust was still there below the glass and on top of the actual lens and around the bellows.
I just ordered an exchange for a new device. If the 3rd one comes with dust sitting right on top the actual lens, I will return it and buy something different. I had a Sony Ericsson K790A for about 7 years. and there still is not even one spec of dust under the lens glass.

That camera lens looks dust free. Although, is that a spec on the lens? I see two reflections and one spec. Could be all reflections, Thanks
Replaced it for another one.... this one is MUCH better.
where can i buy some sort of screen protector or sticker for the rear camera? i don't have the plastic on it anymore and i don't like the idea how it's protectionless. For my Galaxy Note 4, the plastic fell off recently somehow and I was barely able to cover it using a spare screen protector, but it didn't stick well.
If i can't find anything for this phone , im thinking of either using tape or stickers from the dollar store or walmart.

Right now, I taped the glass part of the camera and cut out wholes for the camera lens, so it doesn't affect the quality lol. very getto but it seems to work, but i'm 1/4 finished. I did this to my Note 4 too yesterday.

for your first link, I don''t really like the idea how with the camera glass, it still means that the lens is ****ting the surface first and putting the pressure on it. in your opinion, how scratch resistant is it and does it affect the camera quality? I wish they made one like that but inverse so it covers everything but the lenses itself .
I might buy the dbrand camera skin, it seems to be what i'm looking for.
