I pull my New LG G6 out of my pocket today and the glass over both cameras is shattered, everything else is fine. I have it in a case with tempered glass screen protector, but soehow i managed to break the glass just over the camera...... Any fix for this???? I looked on ebay and all i could find was G5 replacement parts.... It looks like the glass over the cameras will just pry up... Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks.

Ouch. You might have to call LG service on that one. Man... That's disappointing to hear.

I would not pry at the glass until you have parts. It will get into the camera assembly and you will have to replace more than just the glass. You might be better off contacting LG or going through insurance.

Has anyone tried the replacement glass available on Amazon or on eBay? Any idea of the quality? It would be nice to get something that's Gorilla glass, but at this point I would be happy to just have my phone back.

How far did you dissasemble it to? Id buy it off you for 100 if you'd like to wait for the moto x?
You can replace the glass but you need a heat gun I bought the whole front housing so I wouldn't have to worry about dust getting in there

digitizer is glued with the glass ....its a really tough job to separate it without damaging the digitizer :/
anyone know where i could get a screen for 70-80ish (with or without the bezel)
i managed to seperate the digitizer from the glass but i accidently dammaged it by bending it. so close..... but it is posiible if you're more carefull than me.
So i was looking at the camera lenses on my V20, and noticed that somehow, a piece of glitter got under my camera glass, right over the main camera lens. I have no idea how this could have happened. Has anyone else heard of this happening?

There's a protective film over the camera glass that can be removed.

If you remove that screen protector the glass could shatter from just a scratch.

Ive read about the camera glass weakness. I took my protector off of my last one before I had got my replacement. It was fine, I'm very careful with my phone though. I don't set it down hard, I put it in my pocket with nothing else. I have a flip case so I can set the phone down on it's face worry free as to not mess with the back and camera housing either.. Not saying one should take it off just for the sake of it without reason, but if the OP has glitter under it, it might be good reason to remove it..
The protector has cutouts for the lenses though, right? If so, then removing the protector won't do anything for me since the glitter is directly over one of the lenses.

That's really odd, but glitter can find it's way into many unusual places..
So I've been using this LS993 which is the Sprint version, for about 3 days now. It looks like the lens that covers both rear cameras is all scratched up. I ordered a case for the phone but it's not arriving untill tomorrow. I believe a case would have prevented this from happening but too late now. Do you think Sprint would exchange for a new one, or do you think LG would do anything about it? Thanks for any input.
They will not exchange for a new one unless you claim a manufacturer defect or something. FWIW, case would have probably done little to prevent that as almost all cases I've seen don't cover the camera. Maybe offered some protection by raising whatever could be rubbing against the lens off the phone a bit. But against sand or keys it's no match. The camera is Gorilla Glass 4 I believe, but just goes to show you that it can still be scratched.
I have cut out and placed an old screen protector over my cameras to prevent exactly this. With the camera being flush to the phone, there's no protection.

Are you sure there is no sticker on the lens that you need to remove?
Pretty sure there isn't. I've picked at the edges with no luck. I can't believe the glass would scratch that easily though. It had to have been from just setting the phone down on the table or kitchen counter.

Granite will scratch it. There's a durability test out there that mentions this...
I ordered a case before I even got my phone. Helps with gripping when taking shots and it won't slip out of the hand as easily...
Mine is 5 days old and also all scratched up. It has been in a case from the 1st hour. It seems that even rubbing it with a cotton shirt seems to scratch it even more. I'm going to asking for a replacement or possibly switching to the S8. This is a defect!!
Have you guys seen this?

Someone's claiming that the glass itself isn't what's scratched but rather a coating that comes off.

Saw that after I posted.
I just bought a g6 and had the same issue. I had a screen protector from thebforst minute I got it but it scratched anyway on the rear camera lens. I thought maybe there was a plastic film protecting the lens but couldn't pull anything off. I then returmed into trouble and got another one and the same exact thing happened??? I have not been near the beach or anything so I'm not sure where the scratches came from? So I'm temporarily using a film screen protector to protect it until I figure out what the deal is with this rear glass. I was a le to chat with only and she did say there was a film on the rear camera lens but again when I tried to pick the corners nothing happened. I really dont known what to think because if I take it back to T-Mobile they will think I'm nuts. But this does cause an issue with the camera. The pics get a bad, bad flare for night pics with street lamps. When the lens is clear the flare doesnt happen. What do we do? I will try and call lg again but the people in the phone arent technical. I kmow I read the post where he says there is a coating that you buff off but should that coating be there? I dont want to ship it to lg because I need a phone for work plus they repair centers never tell you what they did to fix it? Is there a film? If there is Jerry rig didnt mention it on his testing. How can we confirm what the true issue is? For 650 I better get camera quality I expect for that kind of money. I dont want to give it back because I dont want a big bezeled phone, plus I dont like Samsung or apple. The only phone to get is the oneplus3t but they are rolling out the one plus 5 in a month and that will be bezeless. I feel screwed
Same issue here. Multiple G6 handsets including mine and my manager's. All with scratches. Almost all had cases. I am very careful with my device. Seems that if you just look at it wrong it scratches.
Other than polishing the coating off the lens as someone else here has done, you can cover the lens with a lens protector until they come out with a tempered glass version. Several have deduced it is the coating that is getting scratched, not the glass.
Currently I am using the Nillkin H+PRO since it was the only thing available at the time. I reviewed it here and it has pictures... comes with a tempered glass screen protector for front, two camera lens matte protectors and installation kit.

I highly suggest to do this until you either you decide to polish, purchase tempered glass protection, etc. No reason to allow it to get worse. I think once a tempered glass protection comes out for the camera lens I will be good to go.
I accidently broke my front glass. Touch is working fine though. I just need to get front glass replaced.
Anyone has ideas how much will it cost?
is the screen and glass separate from each other? I hope so.
