i don't know of any camera cover for the Z1. besides, a cover would hinder the phone's camera from taking nice photographs. you could buy a tempered glass protector for the front and back. the tempered glass would add some bulk to your phone, (0.3 mm per side) and that raise would allow the camera to not touch any surface. also, the camera glass is sapphire. I've been using it caseless with a film protector at the back, no scratches yet. It has taken a lot of falls, so it can take a beating. but don't torture it.

i added some clear tape to the camera and it doesn't seem to affect the focus or the pictures . I will leave it with the tape until i will find a good tempered protector to apply

the Z1 has a camera glass protection on it's backcover. a z1 backcover is quite cheap and can easily be replaced. ~15 Euros

You mean the protector film applyed by sony or the glass back of the phone? The screen protector doesnțt cover the camera lens.

I am talking about the glass.

i dont think that my camera is covered by a glas . I can feel the metal camera ring and the back of the phone seems to be cut around the camera lens.

im also planning to buy the Camera Lens protector. does it affect the quality of the pictures?

You can get an aliminuim case that doesnt really make your phone look ugly

I already installed a lens protector (devilcase brand) it doesnt affect the quality of the camera/photos.

Using a Devilcase camera lens protector for a month or two now and no negative side effects yet so it's good.?

Camera lens sapphire glass?

As per title. I've read some reports online that mentions the g4 uses sapphire glass lens to cover the camera is that true?

I highly doubt it, as mine already has several hairline scratches.

Ahh, that sucks. Haven't actually gotten the g4 yet, but will be getting it in around a month. I've already ordered cases screen protector and a glass camera lens protector too.

Nope, it can get scratched with a blade but not keys. Same applies to the screen. The slight curve helps raise the camera lens, but a case that rises above the camera is best.

Camera Protection?

Is there anywhere I can order a screen protector just for the cameras?
I already have a scratch and would like to protect them from future abuse.
Thanks

I ordered one a week ago. Probably mid June I expect

Yep, was just going to say that AliExpress has a bunch of them.
I bought a Nillkin Super T+ Pro tempered glass screen protector which comes with a camera protector as well since I needed both.

Hi, I'm planning to buy this screen protector and it says that it also has an included camera protector. How's the camera protector by nillkin? thanks

Sure they will be great, just dislike ordering things from China anymore. The last couple orders have taken months. Literal months.
Pretty much what I want, just not willing to pay more than I paid for two screen protectors. Hopefully others will start selling these at reasonable prices.

Thats a good deal. If I didnt have a screen protector I would buy that right away.

Aren't you guys using covers or cases on your phones?

It's a high quality product. I had a Nillkin camera protector on my G5... and it's been perfect since day 1.

Nillkin protector has "anti-explosion" protection! Lol.

I'm using a medium-weight case on mine. No screen protector though.

On shopping markets like AliExpress or Gearbest you can find them. I think I'm also going to buy one

I just got my Nillkin protector and was a bit disappointed since the camera lens protector was just a plastic film instead of a tempered glass one. Though I must say it is indeed a high quality product.

Another option is a cover with cutouts for the lenses and flash. So nothing actually covers the camera lenses, but does provide some protection to glass area.

That's not a cover - that's an OEM piece to replace the actual lens glass if yours break.

I have a Savvies tempered glass protector on my G6. It didn't come with a rear camera protector and the cutout for the sensors also extends to the front camera, so theres no protection for the front camera either. I wish I'd known about the Nillkin protector before now, as I had a few Nillkin cases and protectors for my G4 in the past, and always found their gear great value for money.
I also have a Spigen "liquid crystal" clear cover on my phone. Its not the thinnest but it does seem like it will give some sort of protection.

Here's my temporary protection while I wait for the glass camera protector to arrive from China.

I ordered these from China, unfortunately when they arrived I discovered they are just plastic and not Tempered Glass as the title and listing suggests.

There is GG4 on the camera, GG5 on the back and GG3 on the front so why would you want to buy another protection?

I actually bought some from eBay.
At first I thought they were plastic but they we flexible because the glass was thin.
Anyway, I got mine off eBay for $1.

Yes you are absolutely right. I should have updated my previous post, but I decided to take one and bend it in half, it shattered just as you would expect glass to. So I can confirm they are actually glass.

Really good 2X telephoto zoom portrait lens for Google Pixel 2

I didnt expect much from this lens but it turns out it is really really good. You can use the Moment case with this lens and its much much better than the moment telephoto lens.

nice to see some cheaper alternative to moment lenses.
out of curiosity, since you have the pixel 2 xl and moment case, can i ask which screen protector you use for the phone if any? Not sure if anyone with moment case has tried the whitestone dome glass if the case pushes up on the screen protector at all or not. thats what i'm considering since i was happy with the quality when i installed on the note 8. any input would be useful.

I have the Skinomi screen protector and it works fine

thanks for the reply. i'm looking for a tempered glass solution. will wait for my case to arrive from Moment and might give the whitestone dome glass a try.

Wow the difference is pretty great. Sad that moment failed in the telephoto lens.

Question The camera protector glass has arrived

It seems pretty good I'm holding off applying it till I wait for this caseOr I might just apply it and then get case

I'll definitely be interested in whether it affects the flash / getting refraction in your flash photos.

I would very much like to know as well. If you can update us when you get both applied, thanks.

Let's Talk Cases....
So I have spent quite a bit of time searching around for some good cases for the Pixel 6 Pro , I bought one of the soft silicone official Google ones, a Dbrand Grip, and a Ghostek Nautical Slim waterproof case. The Google one is a complete waste...

I've coded my entire phone in liquid glass. I actually gave it a second coating about a week after the first and then left it. So far I can say that this thing has survived where it shouldn't have, I highly recommend treating your phone in the liquid glass products. I know I just jinxed myself but here goes, so far all of my phones that have had liquid glass on haven't cracked while almost all of my previous phones end up cracked/hard bricked

The photo with gap to rug is without I got it on ok I'll try flash now I'll also get photo with another phone with it on

Oops just realized I posted in wrong place lol last photo was with flash on

I'm not sure how im posting this and it goes into 2 threads or posts I'll leave it there I got from eBay I'll link now Here it is was pretty cheap as well £2.99

Darkest place I could find in house lol that's was with flash on

Spot the place I currently at lol tested with the camera protector on
