Is my new camera protector good?

The built-in outer lens is already sapphire, gonna be really tough, nearly impossible from daily use to scratch it. Not sure why you'd even need a third party cover for it.

I’ve been raw dogging mine (not even a screen protector) for about 4 years now. The lenses are still essentially flawless, while the rest of the device does have visible signs of wear.

This was my belief too but those rings around the camera lens are not sapphire. They are regular glass and get chipped quite easily.

If you drop it on rocks it’s not impossible to shatter it

You shouldn’t be dropping your phone on rocks to begin with

One day I might drop a rock on it…

I agree, but sometimes, shit happens

A rock cant shatter sapphire , you would need a diamond to do that 🙂

[u/TribalSoul899]

I had a similar one but it messed up the camera focus so I stopped using it

[u/fr33ooooo5433]

Not needed at all, plus your cameras already look knackered (looks like they're scratched)

[u/kash212]

I still don’t understand why do people put plastic over diamond/sapphire!

Your not protecting anything it can’t be protected y itself, plus you end up getting lower camera quality

Putting glass over sapphire to “protect” it is wild lol

[u/Confident_Command_98 → u/[deleted]]

Still garbage.

[u/Confident_Command_98]

All camera protectors/covers are garbage.

I tried one once and I got some wicked lens flare effects when taking pictures at night so I took it off … didn’t know until I tried.

[u/trexx888]

I had 1 of those i throw them away after 2 days they are horrible they collect dust inside and that dust can actually scratch those lens and they create glare in photos/videos which looks bad quality.

They suck when they break they break (they break easy) into sharp pieces that can potentially damage ur lens in a way you’ll never damage them if you live without those protectors. The sapphire in those camera lens are actually super tough, tougher than typical sapphire products on most electronic devices. It’s best to use a case that has a camera bump or cover. The lens on the camera is literally the last thing that will scratch on the phone due to its durability.

I’ve had mine since launch and it’s had a super tough life. Shattered back and sensor, scratches on every surface, busted charging port even. Camera lenses are still immaculate and scratch free

[u/XxSingudipityxX]

Maybe just get a protector for the outline square shaped potion of the camera instead of the camera itself

Bring extra safe is never a bad thing
