Hey guys, what do you think about this? I've noticed that my camera lens is all scratched up (even though I'm extremely gentle on my phone and never have it in an abrasive environment) and after seeing the tempered glass screen protectors, I was wondering why no one does this with the camera lens? If it's a glass protector then it shouldn't affect the image quality at all...
So here is my suggestion, that we all email requests to iloom at their support email address ([email protected]) requesting this... What do you think?
I'm all for it as a precautionary measure but I've had my phone for two weeks and my lense is flawless.

Had mine since release, and it is flawless as well... no case either....
Man... Yeah I think I may have a flawed lens or something... It must come back to a quality control problem at lg. Mine has scratches all over it and I have had a case on it since the 8th day mark, and I'm very gentle on this phone. You both have Verizon or at&t?
AT&T...
My response to my email below:
"Thank you for your inquiry!
You know, I've never actually heard of any lens protectors and it seems interesting. That being said, please note that our glass screen protectors have optical transmittance of 92% and higher, but it may reduce the image quality due to that as well. We'll be looking into this matter
Thanks again!
Best regards,
Luke Lee"

It would need to made out of Sapphire, the iPhones have it already on their camera lens.
Yah, the lens position concerned me a bit with the phone naked. However with a case it'd take some real work to scratch it up.

Doesn't Sapphire come with it's own set of problems? i.e. I recall reading about purple prone lens flares.
G2 lens is sapphire btw...
I've had mine for about a week with no issue with the camera lens. I've never had any issues with any of my previous phone cameras other than prints and smudges. Just wipe and go. It's either user or bad/lemon product.

My friend, you have micro cracks in your glass, I've returned 2 phones because of this. If you get light to reflect of the surface of the glass you'll see the surface is clean, they are internal stress cracks, same thing happened with the Asus transformer tf201. Look up cracked screen and you'll see tons of posts about that problem.

Verizon here, and I'm without a case as well. They make a good point about even the highest quality films still reducing transmittance by some degree. May not be the best idea from that standpoint.

As far i know G2 lens is Sapphire so that thing should not hamper the image quality..and moreover we can use a good case to protect the lens from rough scratches and all..well from the beginning I am using my kickstand case with G2 and there is not even a single scratch on the lens of my phone...I got it from fommy..the case quality is quite nice and it is finely griped on the phone without making any mark signs and all..so using a good case can be only protection from these scratches

It's not micro cracks but actual scratches...

Can someone please help confirm/deny something? I’ve just read a troubling review which suggests that the screen and the camera glass are very easily scratched.
http://www.gsmarena.com/six_weeks_with_the_huawei_p9-blog-18453.php
Can anyone back this up? I am not worried about his other negatives, as I think this can be fixed with customising & tweaking (who would need XDA if all phones were perfect?!) but this issue might be a deal breaker. The curved edges of this screen usually mean screen protectors can’t go right up to the edge, making them very visible and unsightly on a screen like this.
How are people finding it?
Update 01.06.2016: I asked Corning if they have their Gorilla Glass on the P9, and they have just responded stating that due to NDA with various contracts, they are not allowed to identify all the devices that have this glass. Interesting. This is neither a yes or a no. They advised that I ask Huawei, so I have just e-mailed them the query. Will update with the response.
I have a P9 from eight days, not a single scratch on the display or the camera glass cover.
PS: This so called review is not even close to review. This is just gibberish. The guy is in love with his iphone.
Definite iphone fanboy
Funny how all other reviews say the P9 does have Gorilla glass!

I think you are both being a little unfair to him. A fanboy wouldn't even try another Android phone. Did you even read his main review? He lists all the flaws of the iPhone fairly. But we are getting off-topic.
This phone is NOT on the list of devices fitted with Gorilla Glass, and I have read many reviews on this device with factual errors cropping up in several of them.
http://www.corninggorillaglass.com/en/products-with-gorilla/huawei
But again, this is not what I am asking. I have managed to scratch Gorilla glass before, as have many other people.
I am asking have people had this phone naked for a few weeks and managed to scratch it even when being careful?
You may ask Corning to update thier webpage.
I've had mine for three weeks. No case or protector (haven't found one that fits because of the curved screen). The screen and the metal back look fine, but I have one scratch near one of the lenses. The black part that covers the camera does not look like Gorilla Glass to me.
I watched or read a review which stated that it does get some hairline scratches quite easily, just with every day use. I cannot link you so I am sorry. I have had mine for about a week and it seems okay at the moment, but due to the review I have been a little more mindful than I usually am. I don't like cases so I have ordered a dbrand skin, and a slim hard rubber feel case. Shame as the phone feels amazing naked - same as me.

I've had the phone for 2-3 weeks and I do have a small, hairline scratch on the screen. It's not very deep, and only visible under certain light, but it is there. I was very surprised to find it since I never put my phone in my pocket with keys, coins or anything like that.

OK thank you for the feedback. You'd be amazed how easily a little bit of grit can get in your pocket and cause havoc. It is looking like this may need some sort of skin & screen protector combo.

I also have the same hairline scratch that I notice on my first week of using the phone. I have had nothing since, however it's a little disconcerting as I even bought the Huawei Watch and I await for those to start showing on that.

LG G4 and LG G5 also are not in the Corning's list for devices, covered with Gorilla glass, but they have it.
As regards the reviews... My experience is the only thing that matters for me.
This kind of thread exists for every new smartphone it's glass. Glass gets scratched and or shattered pretty easily no matter if it's gorilla or some other brand. To be on the safe side just use a case or something.

They're all pretty much the same thing.

yeah around 2 weeks
Why would you do this? any "glass" or plastic protective coating will affect the optics of the camera.
I have one on the way but who knows when it will arrive. I purchased from a China seller for 1$ about a month ago. Ill update if it actually gets here.
Putting an additional thick piece of cheap glass on top is a bad decision if you value photo quality. It's like putting a $3 clear lens filter on a $2,000 L lens.
i also looked on ebay i want a screen protector not for the camera or front of phone but for the back of the phone, do they make a tempered glass screen protector for the back of the note 8 i can't find one
I just use dbrand skin
Amazon.. like $2

This does look like a good way to protect the camera lens. For $2.49 on Amazon/ebay I think I'll give it a try.
my 1$ TGSP rear camera from ebay came in today.
took me 5 minutes or so to apply, I would recommend using a really thin tweezer to take off the protector from its film as well as lay it on the rear camera on the phone. I dont think I would have been able to do it well with only my fingers since its such a thin and small piece of glass.
Also, it doesnt really seem like glass to me as its bendable. To me its just a harder thicker piece of plastic but maybe tempered glass is bendable? I dont know lol someone can correct me on this please.
To my eyes, and I have pretty good eyes I do not see any difference to photos. I mainly purchased this protector as I always touch the camera area when playing games in landscape mode, it really annoyed me thinking if I would eventually scratch the rear camera since my hands sometimes have dirt / dust on them
I bought these...
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B075MCL9KH/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The fingerprint sensor cover is useless in that it stops the sensor from working, but the camera protector is very thin, and fits well. I'm not entirely sure why I need 5 - I'd only need to replace one if it gets scratched to such an extent that it affects the ability to take clear pictures. I don't see any difference to the picture quality of the camera with the protector in place.
I got one of these and after 1 day I removed it.
When using flash, the light "travels" in the glass and washes out all the pictures. Also the camera seems to "notice" something there and takes a bit longer to focus every single time..
It seems like there are quite a lot reviews saying because of the curved screen, there is adhesive only at the edge so some people say there are issues with dust getting into the center part and reflection issues.
So is plastic films a better option?
If not, is there a brand that is found to work with XZ1?
Thanks

Plastic is fine to avoid scratches but avoid breakage. Glass is fine to avoid scratches and breakage. My phone(s) slipped out of my hand or fall down for other reasons, till now only the glass protector was broken not the screen.
http://nillkin.org/smartphones-acce...xz1-accessories/nillkin-sony-xperia-xz1-h-pro
Seems there is a full glue but plain screen protector from nillkin. This protector saved 2 times the screen of my wifes xz.
seems that on sony mobile forum an user found it tricky

Buy a glass one that is full coverage, and use LOCA glue for it. I personally bought "Screen Protector for Sony Xperia XZ1, Olycism Full Coverage" and "Octopus Glue - Liquid Optically Clear Adhesive (LOCA)" and it looks perfect (except for a tiny bubble which I would have removed, but sadly I didn't notice it until after the glue cured. As for the glue itself, you need around 1.5 milliliters of it. Just make sure you don't put more than 1.5 milliliters or you might end up with glue inside the earpiece.
Do you have any pictures of that?

Sorry for the very late (1 month late) reply, I don't come here often. Excuse the terrible quality, as these were taken using my Nexus 4 from 2012:
https://imgur.com/a/nwq3a
Notice how the Sony logo is hard to see and much whiter than the surrounding area, that is because I didn't apply LOCA glue to the logo just in case it leaked into the earpiece. If you do use LOCA glue make sure you don't overdo it because if it gets into the earpiece you're basically screwed.
I've tried over 4 different tempered glass protectors and 3 of them still had the adhesive side issues (not fully placed on the side so it leaves an "unadhesived" portion all around the sides). The one that completely covered everything was the Dooqi Full Curved 3D one previously reviewed here BUT there is a visible rainbow colored spot in the middle that doesn't go away. The 3 I've tried were the Nillkin H+PRO, Khaos Tempered Glass 6-pack and regular Dooqi Premium Tempered Glass. This is just hopeless finding a good tempered glass protector. I don't really want regular screen film or the hassle of having to use glue on the protector

I tried only one from Moodie full cover curved (German brand). Probably rebranded Dooqi, cause same as yours it's full covered but rainbow spots. And the screen seems dull, oleophobic is non existent. So I'm looking for the best one and on Sonymobile forum, someone recommended Japanese brands Deff and Rasta Banana. Found one review about Deff on Amazon.jp. But only one star. Well, kinda a relieve cause ordering international seems complicated. Rasta Banana review is on a Chinese site. But it seems more like product advertising.
On reddit xperia I stumbled on a Youtube review, presumably the best xz premium screen protector. The guy says he tried many screen protectors too.
There is a xz1 version too. But it uses custom adhesive. Not sure about it, but tutorial looks very easy and from the comments it's easy to remove too. It's from InvisShield.
I'll give it a shot or there is another full curved from Brando Workshop. But not sure if I won't get the rainbow spots again. I hate to get the same one lol.

I don't understand why you two keep doing the same thing over and over, stop buying those types of protectors already. What you need to do is either buy one of these:
http://www.sgfreshidea.com/invisshi...1-full-adhesive-tempered-glass-clear-set.html
Or if you're brave enough like me, buy your own LOCA glue and 'curved' glass screen protector and apply it yourself. My application came out perfectly, as you can see with these blurry pictures:

The case attracts a lot of dust whenever I put it in my pocket. I used it for a little bit before the dust problem got really annoying and i bought another tpu case on amazon. Any fixes for the dust problem? I really love the feel of the case and the cutouts are better than the TPU so I want to use it.
Me too facing the same problem, but I have lost that cover. Any idea where to find the official one? It is not available on the website.
hey guys is it true that case is responsible for some negative effect on the matte finish?the matte finish is coming off after using it for around 2-3 weeks?
I've just got the phone this week and I've ordered a ringke onyx case for the phone. I think its best to stay away from the offical case that comes with the phone just to be on the safe side as some users here experienced paint chipping after using the case provided inside the box.
I got the 5t the day it came out and used that stock Silicon case for about 2 months without any sign of paint chipping. It did collect dust like a vacuum. I got 4-5 cases on AliExpress for under $5 each and they too have dust problems. the one I use has a clear plastic back, so I can see it all of the time.
Did drop my phone today and scratched the stock film cover. Pulled it back and it didn't damage the screen, but now I get to research the best film screen, since the last time I researched it, there was no good tempered glass one that didn't have issues

I primarily use this case, and without getting a ruler out, there is about 1/16" on the top of bottom and about 1/32" on the sides with the stock film. (or as much as the coverage past the screen of the stock film)

The way they did the curved screen on both OP5 Models made nearly all glass screen protectors on the market not very good at fitting. Even the official ones from Oneplus themselves were whack. I tried loads. Best of a bad bunch were the orzly ones, but even those weren't perfect. The phone itself just makes it impossible.

Yes, from what I had read, the orzly and NILLKIN were the best glass, but the edges were the issue.
I used to have some various cheap glass protectors on my S4 and never had the issues people are noting on the various glass protectors for the 5t - reduced touch sensitivity, rainbow effect, hot spots, etc
Honestly, though I have gotten descent at installing screen protectors, I despise putting them on and getting everything perfect, so I am trying to do as much research before hand, so hopefully I only have to do it once.
I got the OnePlus glass when I got the phone, but read the initial reviews and had planned just to keep the stock film on, as it seemed to be doing a good job until I dropped in in the backyard and damaged the film about 1" down and 1" in from the right.

Yes, there's definitely no ideal way to do it. This is why I personally prefer the flat screened phones, as they have none of these issues.
Pity in a way that curved screen phones have become a fad this past year. Last decent looking one that I was tempted to get was the Razer Phone for gaming. (That one's completely flat screen, and generally looked like quite a decent smartphone for alot of other reasons too). It's been out for a while though now, and haven't got round to it yet, but I still might. In the meantime, I'll just struggle on with my OnePlus until it dies (or more likely, 'til my screen breaks!) haha
sorry to hear about you dropping yours though,. that must've been harsh. was it just the film that got damaged, or did any of the actual device's screen underneath get hit?

Yea, about 4ft drop when pushing my kids in the swing to the dirt and debris that settled under the leaves (that I had just moved so they could use the swing for the first time this year.
I was trying to take pictures of them and dropped it
I dug my finger under the corner and peeled back the screen protector past the damage and the screen was clear. It's almost like a rock dug up the surface of the film

Phew! That was close! (it's always a bit unsettling when you see the cracks in a screen protector). With protectors also being transparent, at first it often looks like it's gone right through to the actual screen, until the moment of truth when you remove it afterwards.. (I've had a few scares like that in my time! So I feel ya!) But is a satisfying feeling of relief when you pull the protector off and everything looks good as new underneath.
Anyways, glad you got lucky that time aswell! So far so good!
after 2 months my phone is completely ruined by this case. I should have changed the case earlier.
