Hello everyone I bought this phone for the camera.
I have read a few different reports where people say the camera lens scratches really easily but other reports are saying it has scratch proof glass, which is it?
I want to keep the lens protected if easily scratched but these lens covers/protectors look like they will ruin the quality of photo.
Any answers or advice here please?
Hi, the lens is protected by tempered glass, keys and coins, even razor blade cannot scratch it.
And for a lens cover, I saw some on Amazon.
Recently, somebody here reported breaking the cover and had to buy a new one. The lens are probably more sturdy though.

I have my phone in a good protective case and I have a tempered glass screen protector.
My concern is the camera lens on the rear scratching so really I don't know if I should continue with a lens protector and lose some image quality or leave it off as the lens is pretty durable. I cannot get any factual answer either way.
I am not sure about posting a direct link to Amazon, but currently utilizing the kit available for $7.89 (by UPONEW) and do not notice a change in image quality.
Below is the product name:

I do have a similar product on my lens, some images look great but sometimes they look a little off in areas and cannot work out if it is this lens protector. If I know the lens has good scratch proofing I would remove it!
I scratched my rear camera lens within weeks of owning. Only a tiny scratch even though I have a decent case and have tried my best to look after it. Pictures are unaffected. You can get a new lens for very cheap online so I'll probably do that if it gets worse.

I worry about the lens protector I have on and picture quality, certain areas of my pictures always look a little blurred or lower quality. Is this a focus thing on camera settings or the screen protector do you think?
The only thing I can suggest is if you still have the second lens protector ( the link says 2 pack...) us to take a bunch of photos In various lighting, then remove the protector and take the same photos again so you can compare. You can always put the spare protector back on afterwards.
Got the UAG Monarch Series carbon fiber case for my S21 Ultra. Now just waiting on my phone lol

Looks like no one has ordered the case I’ve decided to go with, so I’ll post a small review after I use it. I ordered the Case-Mate case in Iridescent Swirl.
My personal phone is an iPhone 12 Pro Max and I’m using the official Apple leather case; it’s leagues ahead of every/any case I’ve ever used for any phone. Particularly, the button tactility makes the case near perfect and a joy to use. The S21 Ultra will be a business phone so I’m looking for something that’ll at least compare in terms of quality to the Apple leather case.
Finding a case similar in quality means looking at Samsung and their official leather case, so I’ll order one when the preorder credit kicks in. But the Case-Mate case looks great (love the finish!) and it looks like it has excellent button tactility. Hopefully it’s worth its $40 price tag.
Any recommendations for a clear, thin case? I'm between:

i used my 260$ credit to get the u21 ultra "case with spen", i also order the spen separately.
now i have 2 spen. samsung should be more clear on their description. i thought case with spen means case with spen slot.
anyone know any aftermarket case with spen slot?
samsung black case with spen slot is getting boring.
Noreve.com Tradition C with 2 creditcard slots (Addiction leather), fits also perfekt to S20 Ultra case.
I have the SUPCASE Unicorn Beetle Pro and have use their case on my Note 10 Plus & Note 8 (and I think the S7). It doesn't have a built in screen protector with I didn't want anyway. Comes with a belt clip which I like having while I'm working. Solid choice for $20.

Went with official samsung leather case in black, love the camera protection and leather should feel epic in hand compared to all plastic, ruberry cases. Next will be UAG Monarch in carbon fiber, but i need to import it or wait till it be available here, also interested in pitaka magnetic cases, now I use a plate beneath the case and it gets hot when wireless charging dunno if it's bad for the phone, heat is never good.

BORING.
i already have the samsung oem case with spen slot.
i was hoping for a case with different color or clear.
I have the Samsung Case too - and agree that it would be nice to have a clear version - fingers crossed...
Nearly impossible to find asking official cases for sale in the US. Specifically the TPU case.
I've got Samsung Leather Cover
Pros:
- cool look
- the phone is very firmly attached to it
- does not enlarge the dimensions of the phone too much
- protects the island with cameras well
Cons:
- it doesn't stick out too much from the screen side, so it's a bit dangerous to put the screen down
- skin prone to scratching (damage)
- the phone sways a little when you put its back down
- it's hard to take it off the phone, I'm afraid that I will damage it when I will try to remove the phone from it
- it holds in the hand on average, but still a bit better than a bare phone
Tomorrow will try Ringke Onyx.

Thanks for this report. What has concerned me about this case, from reports here and on Amazon and Best Buy reviews is the durability. You say "skin prone to scratching...". You are seeing this already or understand that it will, with time, show wear/damage?

I use it only the second day, so it's hard to say, I try to take care and do not expose the case too much in case I want to return it to the seller (EU law, up to 14 days from buying). However, it seems to me that it will wear out quickly when you don't care where you put your phone.

Hi all just a basic question is it worth to put a protector on the camera or not? If so what ones would you recommend?
Thanks

I've been thinking about this myself. I've just put on a case because I know when putting the phone down, the first thing that touches the surface will be the camera module. Also since the module is just metal this time, I figure the paint will be the first thing to scuff off.
A glass protector might be a bit thick.
Don't use the full glass that covers the camera lens - the gap will cause condensation since it's not on the surface of the lens.
Skins or the aluminium ones with the cutouts should work fine.

Simply use a good case with raised guards around the cam module. It's protective lense cover is replaceable anyway. Don't use it as a finger hold...
That's all I have on the 10+ and I live in the dusty desert. Zero scratches so far.
Carefully clean with a dry microfiber cloth as needed.

I was thinking of getting that case but would worried me was that all it would take is a little stone get caught under that camera slider other than that looks nice.
Hey thanks for all your replies seeing as my case is slightly raised above the camera think I will leave the camera protector off for now..

My Bolt case has a raised 5-6 mm guard on the cam/sensor modules.
Case selection is limited for this new phone.
Check out the Zizo Bolt when it becomes available. It's my favorite case; it can take a hit, is easy to hold and use. Also has slightly raised guards for the display, good corner hit protection but still fairly compact.
I bought whitestone glass screen protector for the camera when I first removed the plastic. It has held up for the few days I've had the phone. It does cover the lens with glass so it should protect them. Had plastic film on my S10+ but came off when I wasn't looking and didn't seem like I needed the protection though as the camera is not scratched or cracked..

The hood on high dollar lens isn't there just to reduce flaring, it helps protect the lense from direct contact. Even in falls it does this quit well.
Likewise your case should have good raised protection to help avoid contact with anything.
Poor cleaning techniques are the next biggest hazard. Keep your fingers off it and use only a microfiber cloth to clean it. Dirt, sand, grit doesn't scratch it unless you rub it. Wait to clean it if you can't do it right at that moment. Use a blower bulb the remove loose sand etc before you use the microfiber cloth.

this kind of case also solve the problem of a "dancing phone" when you use it on a table
Ok just an update I thought i would try camera protection so i brought a couple they were glass type ones day time pics were not bad but night pictures i kept getting lens flare. So i took off the protector and lens flare was gone. So i thought I would let you know of my result using glass type.
Are the Whitestone Dome ones any good?
It will be good to have som addon for camera to protect.
yeah I`m waiting on my later case, the cyber edition covers the camera bump and has round cutouts for the cameras, so well see when it shows up.

sure will, I had a note 20 Ultra that I had and used the later case cyber edition for that and loved it, might be late feb or march before I get the case.
I just have to say that the tempered glass ones suck. Because of the metal frame, they use some kind of strong adhesive to get the tempered glass to adhere. It's impossible to remove without the glass shattering. I managed to remove the tempered glass camera protector but it managed to scuff/scratch the matte black metal around the cameras... sucks.

Wow that does suck mine was sticky but lucky enough managed to get it off without any problems.
I'm just worried that the sticky glass might damage the flat black paint on the camera hump when you try to remove it?
Hi all,
basically the title. I wonder if I should purchase a protective film for the camera lenses as I'm not sure if there's one on there from the factory. Can anybody confirm that there's none?
Nope, it doesn't mine came without one
There is no camera protective sticker
The included silicone case has a decent bump that mostly protects the lens when lying on a flat table
I just got my base s23 and was looking for a tempered glass screen protector. Frankly I can't stand curved screens on phones. I previously had one and used the tempered glass with UV light and while it worked okay, I always used too much of the glue and it slipped into the buttons and speaker.
So for the new S line, I opted for the plan and simple S23 that packs everything I want.
I looking for screen protectors, I have had good luck with amFilm on S10, S20, and S21 phones.
In luck, they had a S23 for the base phone and comes with a simplified application tray to make it super easy to install.
Just had to follow these steps
1. wipe the screen with provided wet wipe
2. wipe with microfiber cloth
3. use FULL size sticker, no kidding the sticker is bigger then the phone to avoid missing dust with those small stickers
4. remove film from the tempered glass thats inside the tray
5. place the tray over the phone
6. swipe from top to down to let the protector stick to the phone screen.
7. remove the tray.
Done.
In one try, it came out great.
+ centered perfectly
+ unique tray makes it easier then eye balling the placement. well worth the couple bucks extra.
+ case friendly
+ smooth as glass (of course)
+ reasonably priced
+ lifetime warranty
+ amFilm is well known, high reviews, and been around for a long time
- no negatives, time will tell.
Hoping it lasts. They do have a lifetime warranty that covers 1 replacement.
It does include protector for the cameras, but I am using the Onyx case from Ringke that already has pre cut outs to protect the camera.
This is the one I purchased from Amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0BMG2VV4N/
attached are pictures of it installed on base s23 and one inside Ringke Onyx S23 case ( perfect 1mm on the sides, can hardly tell its on and still has enough room not to interfere)
Maybe a dumb question, but how does it handle fingerprint detection?
I've heard a rumor that Glass can interfere with it, and should opt to silicon based instead.
I just put mine on, works perfectly. The S22 and prior never worked well with a glass protector, the 23 is perfect.
