Do anyone use a plastic camera protector?
The screen it is made of gorilla glass, difficult to scratch, and even with that a lot of people uses film protectors, but the camera? It is a plastic and easily scratchable, so, anyone have tried to use a protector?
And do that add some kind of blurryness to the photos?
Im not completely sure about this but wouldnt putting a protector over the lens cover distort the image?

You can buy MartinFields screen protector...they all come with little bits for camera and flash also...and they are way better than any other screen protectors on the market...I have been using them for years on all my phones and tablet.

I thought the camera was the same glass used on the front. It certainly doesn't feel like plastic comparing my SGS2 with my Desire.

3 months no protection/no scratches.
Is the camera cover made of gorrila glass as well? That's the bit I am worry about since I can't find a screen protector for it.

It is not, when I had to send in my replacement phone I took a nail to it, the front was fine, no scratch, the camera plastic did get scratched. So be careful.

I us the ZAGG screen protector its like stab proof and whatnot. I love it. Been using it since my first smartphone. They can get somewhat pricey depending where you buy them i usually buy them at radio shack and have them put it on for me. I asked an actual zagg person if they have any for the camera and they said no something along the lines of the flash reflecting off the plastic and into the camera. its believable..
If you think you are even remotely likely to drop your phone or accidentally have something rub up against it I would recommend you just get one. I have a ZAGG and it is great so far. I figure if you are going to be carrying around something so expensive that you may as well have it protected.
Screen protectors are relatively cheap. I've read enough stories of even GG phones getting scratched in pockets, that I prefer to be safe than have to fork out for a new screen or deal with scratches, Gorilla-glass or not.
I have a Clear-Coat on both mine and my wife's E3Ds. Works great, reduces fingerprints and smudges, and you don't even notice it's there.
What about those dual cameras on the back.....is there a scratchguard available for the back....

I notice the rear camera is slightly scratched and probably is effecting my image quality, not a big issue, but I'm just wondering if there's anyway to remove scratches from that piece of plastic protecting the camera.
I've searched on i9100 forum and found that the user had to replace the whole back housing or something.
Maybe glass cleaner? The cameras glass right?

Plastic. If it was glass, it shouldn't scratch that easy. :/
Here was the i9100 guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1409609
Tape off the glass, polishing compound on a felt dremel wheel. Go slow.. Dont melt the lens...
Not rocket science...

^Is the lens glass or plastic.. I keep thinking it is plastic since it feels like plastic and got scratched easily.. Even the LED flash is slightly scratched.
The outer protective material is plastic. But stevenrogers is right, yet it can be overkill if you're not confident with a dremel. But its definately not glass we're talking about.

I have a pretty scratched up back camera. Probably from sliding it around on its back too much. I noticed that it doesn't affect its camera quality though.
If you don't notice any effect in your pictures, dont try to fix it.
The scratches on the lens are a long way from the focal plane of the lens, so they might affect the contrast a little bit, but it's unlikely that you'll notice anything.
Try this experiment. Take a hair, and hold or tape it onto the phone so that it crosses the center of the camera lens. Start the camera app, and try to find the hair....

Now having this problem myself with the scratches definitely affecting quality and having looked at the lens cover holder closely t seems it may be removable. There seems to be two clips one on each short side and one clip on the top. Is this right? Has anyone got an old back chassis they could see if they could get the cover off by releasing these clips? If it is possible then the plastic should be removable and could be replaced with a cut down screen protector.
Using a dremel and polishing compound can clear it up. Although you do have to be careful.
One thing you can do if don't have the tools or the patience is to take it to a jeweler. They can polish it out. You may have to try one or two to find someone to do it.... but there are some out there that will be glad to do it.

Tons of threads about screen protectors.
Check those out.
i always go with a clear protect from ebay. I end up getting 6 for like $5 and i change them out if they get scathed or starts to not look clear.
Normally i can go about 6months without a problem. Other times its been a yr.
The never used a glass protector before but i have heard that some of them are very hard to get off and then its still glass so it can scratch. While others will loose there glue and come off.
Illome flex. No problems with the glue though I haven't needed to take it off. Yeah it can scratch but it's much harder to scratch than a plastic protector. You can't even begin to compare to clarity and feel of a plastic protector to glass either.

I like the Verizon TPU Holster/Case, and so wanted as thin a protector as possible. It's a little on the pricey side, but I went with the 'Just Like Glass Nano' and am extremely pleased with it. Just as thin as a plastic screen protector, but with the clarity and smooth surface texture of glass. Gives me the best of both worlds.

Does anyone know if the lens is gorilla glass 3 like the display? With the camera sticking out like it does I'm surprised they don't use sapphire crystal.

sapphire crystal, lmfao They don't need that crap. Its been argued that its not much better than Gorilla glass anyway, in many ways.. But it is more expensive !
The lens in the back in made of glass, the same stuff your windshield is made of.
Not gorilla

no, not gorilla. Get from the post that discuss the broken camera lens that the camera lens is made of normal glass and easy to be broken. It's never a secret that S5 camera design is a flaw. The camera lens even can self crack.
Gorilla Glass would work fine, wouldn't it? I doubt Samsung would use Sapphire Crystal for the camera. If they did, it'd be noted a lot more.
How do you guys keep the Ultra?
Do you use a screen protector? Do you have it in a case or naked?
Iam using the leather case but i want to use it in all its glory. The only issue is that i know its a scratch magnet because of the Anti Shatter screen

Protected, because it's so thin and i carry it in my Pockets. It needs a little bit more stability. Whithout you can see what's happening whith your device, when you put a little bit weight in the middle of the screen while having nothing at the back.
Thin device + big size, not a very clever combination, some people broken the Display because of that.

For the guys who keep it nude, you are okay with the scratches? The anti shatter film is a magnet
Protected with a tempered glass screen protector by Glass-M. I also swap between the Sony SPA-ACX3 camera attachment case for my Sony QX100 and the Sony CP12 battery folio case for when I'm traveling.

The god awful ASF was the reason why I applied a tempered glass screen protector. It's a bigger hassle to try and remove the ASF as it's glued/laminated onto the glass of the phone. Glass screen protectors (like the ones from Glass-M) also have the added benefit of having an oleophobic coating that's less resistant to wear, as the glass underneath the ASF doesn't have a coasting.

Naked. I can't stand using cases. It's like buying a Porsche and mount some massive plastic bumpers in case I crash. That's not the way to enjoy it! (but I totally understand why people use them)
I have my Z Ultra in my pocket without any protection which I don't normally do with phones but I find due to the size of the phone I need as much as space as I can get and using a case reduces that. I figured that although the phone might look a bit worse for wear it was the only way I'd be able to really use it however so far aside from some cosmetic scratches on the back it looks fine, there's no sign of any damage to the screen.

Front and back screen protectors and the device stays in the CP12 charging case 99% of the time. This isn't my primary device though so it's used more as a small tablet at home. Rarely do I actually use it as a phone.

Exactly. It's being used like it was meant to [emoji5] But please don't break it. It would make me so sad, lol.
