Absolutely nothing

I just stick the Singtel logo sticker just underneath the lense. The sticker is slightly thicker than the lense so it prevents scratching if you put the phone on table.

I don't have the link, but I remember that someone here in XDA who managed to damage it reported the camera has a plastic protection.
I tried using a piece of screen protector (home button waste) to protect the camera lens, but it resulted in horrible pictures. Therefore, I decided to leave it naked. Nevertheless I use a protector case which doesn't let the camera lens touch the surfaces where the phone rests, preventing scratches.

Anyone have this case?

Does anyone have this case? Can you post some pictures, I am debating between this or the clear one

Any particular reason why you chose the clear instead of the smoke?

I wanted the back to be more visible. But this case shows the back perfect but no sparkle effect. Much like the poetic atmosphere case just not uneven and blotchy like the atmosphere case is.

You can clearly see the Nexus and LG logo, but cannot see the glitter flakes.
The TPU part is all matte, not fully/partially glossy like most others.
The buttons are a bit mushy, so I cut a slit underneath the power and volume buttons for a slightly "clickier" feel.
I'm not sure if you can see in the picture, but the top and bottom of the front lip is higher than the sides of the front lip.
The lip is low enough on the sides that I'm not bothered by it when swiping from the sides of the screen.
Cutouts are all perfect.

man...i really like how both the clear and smoke look. can't choose!!

how it's hard to remove/to put back on?

The case is very easy to install and remove. If you are familiar with tpu cases, this one is just slightly more difficult because it seems like a more rigid tpu.
You won't have any difficulties.
I also have an XO skin on the back, and the smoked plastic does not stick to it.
No "waterspots" are created.
The case did lift my front, full cut XO screen protector.
I recommend a case fit version or those regular hard plastic ones that doesn't cover the entire glass.

Thank you all so much for posting this case. I've been looking for one like this for months. Just ordered the clear one.

Good choice. Great case BTW it has great protection and doesn't push my screen protector back at all. I have a BSE case optimised protector.

Nice looking case, but is that a stress crack that's appearing near the camera cutout?

It is a slight imperfection from the molding process. It is noticeable in direct light, but has not bothered me enough to request a replacement. It would take a good amount of impact to break or crack this plastic. The surface is completely smooth where the imperfection is. Ebay cases..... you get what you pay for....

No.
Well, yes, but only to a certain hardness of course.

It's made by glass or plastic?

The multi-element lens is made out of plastic, but the lens holder that is facing the outside world is cut out from glass. As said before, it will take some scratches, but same rules apply as for the screen: try to protect it from damage.

Can it take being put on the surface of a smooth table? Yes. Can it resist keys, sand and knives? No.

No. It is normal glass without a scratch resistant feature.

Don't forget that there's a plastic removal protector on there from factory that can be removed... I remember this was a big fail on the S4 and had end users freaking out, or maybe that was just me lol

Some phones have the lens protector, some don't.
I am on my third gs5, first 2 didn't even have a protector over the camera lens and the 3rd one does
I'm going to leave it on since there's a nice cutout for the camera optic, so it doesn't interfere with photos

I left mine on as well however I remember how much of a pain it was on the S4

why was it a pain? the cutout hole is perfect size and doesn't get in the way of the quality of the photos......
i remember i took a picture of something with the cover on, and then without it, and it was exactly the same...no loss in quality

It was causing some users interference with the camera. That was the issue I had at least.

Scratched camera lens, photo quality
My S5 camera quality has dropped significantly lately. The photos have become quite grainy, especially in mid and low light. I compared it to friend's S5 and you can see the difference right on the screen even without taking a photo. My camera lens is with scratches, friend's not. Can it be the reason ? If so, is it possible to get the scratches out somehow ? I have seen videos of scratch repair for HTC One M8 (http://youtu.be/xhhOcIRMfWc ). Can it work on S5 ? Any advice, any solution ?

Help needed from Experts

Hi this is my first ever thread here
I find this forum quite informative
I have d 802 g2 upgraded to lollipop through pc suite
I am not a frequent user of camera or fond of taking pics
Recently I was in need of some pics but when i used my mobile's camera result was literally pathetic[emoji20]
Actually there is some sort of rainbow shaded film formed on the plastic that covers the rear camera and I want to know whether it is because of it and what is the solution
Thanks in advance
In daylight camera works better but in night or when we try to focus any light it is kind of blurry

Scrathed front camera cover is the problem.

Plastic breaking off

Is anyone's device plastic breaking off? I'm talking about the strip between the glass and aluminum housing.

I will get a picture once I get off work but I'm not sure how it happened. It's always in a case, but I take it off maybe once a day, which may have caused it but I'm really careful about that.
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

Does it look like this? If so go to the "Bent after 2 days" thread. I know it's not bent, so the title is misleading. But the "Bent" issue in that thread is only this issue.

Like this?
This only happened because it fell naked, it was 3ft drop though so I'm impressed.
Only got a little dent with it too.
Sent from my Nexus 6P using Tapatalk

This is how mine looks in the top left of the picture. Never been dropped out of the case.

I can't really see anything on the photo, it all blends in.
If you mean the thin plastic band that sits between the screen and the aluminium case then yes, that seems to have the characteristics of play dough, it is easily dented.

Agreed. That material is just a cushion.

Yes, I've had this as well. I took my 6P out of the case it's been in (pretty much since I got it) and the top right corner has lost some of the plastic. Never been dropped so not sure why it's happening.
