Camera protector?

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.

C6506: Anti-Shatter Film

Finally damaged my anti-shatter film after 15 month and just removed it. To my surprise, the Sony Logo is part of the glass it self unlike the Xperia Z.... Pretty happy since I like the Sony Logo.... Just posting so other C6506 ZL users will know.... Not sure about other versions of the ZL though.... BTW cleaned the screen after with an alcohol wipe

Recently I pulled my C6503 out of my pocket and had a real big and deep scratch all over the screen. I removed the factory film and my Sony logo also didn't come off
I didn't have any problems removing the film. Just lifted it in one corner with my finger nail and pulled it off. No need for a cutter or other sharp tools.
Replaced the factory film with a 3rd party one I bought at amazon.

Scratch resistant?
When the anti-shatter film removed, does the glass resist scratches? Is it a kind of gorilla glass or DragonTrail?, I haven't removed it because of this question

It's tempered glass, it might resist some scratching but you should be careful anyway since it's not 'THAT' resistant.

How do you recommend I protect a OnePlus One for in pocket use?

Hello
I wanted to start thinking on how to protect my OnePlus One but still be able to store it inside of my pockets.
I usually wear standard 550 Levis so the pockets are pretty OK. Still I perfer a thin case.
Besides a thin case, a screen protector is a must. Ive used Best Skins Ever and ZAGG InvisibleShield and personally I perfer Best Skins Ever because its cheaper and it protects even better.
I do see that nowadays a lot of people are using tempered glass. What difference is there?
On cases, I liked the TUDIA Ultra Tough OMNIX hybrid case but, after I cannot find it in Europe, I see it might be too thick. My previous phone was 14.1 mm and I do not mind at all a thick phone (perfer it actually). How thick is the TUDIA?
On tempered glass, I have no idea as I have no experience.
Could you give me some recommendations? Thank you

For case you want Diztronic case. For screen protector i don't recommend tempered glass. I had 3 in this phone and each time i dropped the phone they break. These are minimal drop that have caused no damage to the rest of the phone. They look nice once installed but 9% of the time are one hit protect in case of serious drop. Problem is any drop will break them. After spending $30 i gave up. You dont need screen protector for phone these days. Just make sure the case has a lump.

I agree.. Diztronic is the way to go for a case. I have the ultra tpu and couldn't be happier.. I do use a nillkin glass screen protector because i do keep my phone in my pocket and want to protect the phone screen from things scratching it.. I'd Rather the protector get scratched than the screen itself..

Tempered Glass
I'm a big fan of the tempered glass protectors, I've had a spartan shield glass one on mine for the past 5 months. Dropped it face down from ~5 feet onto concrete not a scratch, then down a concrete stairwell and only received minor scratches to the protector and nothing on the screen itself.

It is not necessary to use a protector, it will make the phone heavier

I use a orzly scrren protector tempered glass
Fit it while the sun is shining on the display (you can see more dust)
and wipe the dust off with all four fingers (bare fingers)
My provided dist cloth just made the dust stick to the cloth, then screen and back and forth
and when peeling the adhesive off the screen protector hold it flat, mid air above the device, with the top side facing up, and the adhesive facing the phone, NEVER turn the protector so that the front of the protector faces downwards. and apply.
It looks perfect, Feels REALLY smooth, and definatley protects it (I had to get two as i messed the first one up, so i put the old protector on an old phone (was too big but the phone was broken anyway)
I dropped it on concrete. Glass shattered a lot, phone was fine.
One thing about these screen protectors is that if you do get a little dust under it DO NOT TAKE ANY TEMPERED GLASS BACK OFF. you cant peel it back, remove dust and reply. IT MESSES IT UP. The adhesive seperates from the protective glass and they never go back together.

I have this setup as well, except I have a Ringke fusion case and a Niliken glass screen protector. can't tell it's there, have dropped my phone at least 4 times and neither the phone or the glass screen protector has come out of it with a scratch.

You DO need a tempered glass protector
I keep my OPO in my pocket with the Diztronic TPU case and a tempered glass protector (about US$7 on eBay, search for item number 311029665158). One day I forgot that my keys were in my pocket. The tempered glass protector got a scratch, but the screen is fine.
Yesterday my phone fell 3.3m (4 feet) face down onto a brick floor, in the Diztronic case. The tempered glass protector got chipped and cracked, but again, the screen is fine.
I wasn't planning for the phone to fall —*no one ever plans accidents. Be prepared. (I have no connection to Diztronic or the seller of the tempered glass screen protector.)
One nasty detail: In my pocket the OPO gets warm and the touchscreen fails for at least 10 minutes after taking it out of my pocket.

I use a RInkge Fusion clear case, Niliken glass screen protector. I was running for the train and my phone shot out of my pocket and landed face-down on the tiled floor. I panicked, picked it up, but didn't get to look at it until I was on the train. No damage. None, absolutely fine. No crack in the screen protector, no breaking of the case. Absolutely fine. Fall distance, about 3.5 feet. And, it slid about 2 feet after I accidentally kicked it.
I carry my device in my front pocket every day. Never an issue.

Ooooo...

Give yourself time, you may.

I use the tempered glass protector and flip-case which are sold on the OPO site. IMHO the flip-case offers great protection for in and out pocket, as the screen is completely covered. No worries about what's in my pockets along with the phone....and when its open, the tempered glass is protecting it! Also the flip- case does not add much bulk at all...very thin!

The case is mostly just rubber padding. Not really that much protection.
The glass protector is UGLY but I feel that it would get the some done Thanks for all the suggestions.

Xperia Z1 tempered glass

Hello, xda community
I want to buy a tempered screen protector for my XPERIA Z1 C6903. In my country I couldn't find any besides Vakoss tempered screen protector 9H. Is there any other parameters to know if it is good enough to protect my screen against scratches? Cause I didn't find any more info on the internet about this protective film. And will it cover the scratches on my factory anti-shatter film currently applied on phone or should I remove it and replace with the film I am going to buy?
Thanks in advance.

I recently purchased a set of tempered glass screen protectors from Glass4M for my Xperia Z1. I chose to remove the ASF from both the front and back before applying the protectors, as my ASF was already quite scratched. It seems to be fine but only time will tell.

I ordered Nillkin's 9H+ tempered glass from amazon.de 9 months ago it still is in almost fine condition (not mentioning a small crack on top, which does not fall in view so much) even the anti-fingerprint layer didn't come off yet, but I am going to order another one because of that crack and because I didn't remove the ASF film before applying the tempered glass and can see the ASF scratches in direct sunlight

I removed ASF and using MTT 9H and its working superfine.. not even a single scratch in last 7 months

Shattershield query

Hello
I just got a refurbished Moto Z2 force. The screen has scratches on the topmost layer. I'm not able to get a hold of the shattershield lens and I've a few questions regarding what I should be doing further.
1. Can I replace the outermost layer with a spigen screen protector?
2. After peeling of the outermost layer, can I clean the residue of the adhesive with rubbing alcohol?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you.

Hello,
1. Yes, you can use any screen protector you want as long as fits the device.
2. I have not tried alcohol but I think it won't work, try some "Goo Gone" and you should be able to clean the residue off your screen. That is the method I used. You may need a heating gun to remove the shattershield, as the adhesive is very strong and won't come off easily.

I removed mine without a hot air gun. I would advise no one attempt to do it without a hot air gun. Goo gone, credit card and my finger did the trick to remove the in he says. When I initially saw all of the adhesive on my screen I started looking for a new phone.

I finally decided I was tired of the scratches and some deep gouge marks in my shatterproof shield. I purchased a Mr. Shield 2-Pack of tempered glass screen protectors and installed one last night. I did use a goo-gone type of adhesive remover to rid the screen of the leftover adhesive and then used alcohol to do a final cleaning before installation of the tempered glass screen protector. I only wish I would have done it sooner.
Here is the Mr. Shield tempered glass screen protector on Amazon.
