Has anyone noticed that the camera lens is getting scratched easily? I would asume that this happens on the HOX as well. Even if I have a case on it, the camera lens is exposed.

What a shame isn't it? Such a fine made phone but with this defect. I have not been able to find a case that protects the lens.

I found a great solution to prevent from scratches on lens. U have to buy screen protector and something that is used to make a gap in leather belts (dont know how its call in English but it looks like this (its not expensive):

U need size 9mm (9.5mm). Just use hammer + this thing on screen protector to get proper size of lens protector and place it to your lens. That's it. Now I don't care about scratches anymore

Nice idea, I was thinking on using the paper hole maker that is used on the office, but I was wondering about the size. I will try to see if I can find one of this somewhere.
Thanks for the tip.
Edit: found one on Amazon for 9.99. Just bought it!

Just saw that my camera lens has a scratch after 2 months too. I used from the beginning a case. Must be really cheap plastic or glass. My GNex that I used without case had not one scratch on the camera glass after 6 months.

possible fix?
hey guys,
I too have some annoying scratches on my camera lens..
Do you guys think it would be safe to apply Polywatch on the camera lens to fix the scratches?

Just put it on my phone. Pictures before the case isn't on the phone were taken by the Evo's camera.
Pictures on the phone were taken with the GS2.
Pro's:
Case is snug
Matte finish feels like quality
Protects camera and screen of scrapes
Con's:
Case just barely fits. Very tight and barely covers front edges from touching. Basically, it fits but its tight.

How does it compare to that Sprint Gel case?
Good review. I just ordered this case as well. If you were to lay it screen down does the glass touch or does the case hold it off the table?

It keeps it off the table. I like mine a lot just gotta get used to pushing the buttons. It has an extra raised lip around the camera which helps keep the case thin yet still protect the camera surrounding.

Re: evo pics. Maybe try taking them with HDR or close-up mode. Should get better results than that.
u just made me bought one too
they should give u a free case for ur review
Thanks for the pictures. My case was just mailed out today. I can't wait to get rid off my POS silicone case I got on Ebay.

It will not touch the screen if its face down. Look at the pic with the dime on the screen. If you were to put a dime on the screen and flipped the phone upside down, you'd scrape
because the case is not raised enough on the sides. Its rather disappointing honestly. I liked the fit of my TPU case on my GS2 more because it was raised around the edges enough to avoid screen scrapes.

It will not get stuck in your picket which is why I prefer TPU to any other material. However I think the gel case provides more protection. I've dropped that onto brick and had no worries. Go with TPU if you're careful and have a desk job.

Is it worth the hassle to list it? Just curious what kind of experience you have had selling on eBay.

I'm thinking about using full body skins instead of a case. Is anyone else protecting the phone this way? How is it working for you?
Sent from my EVO using XDA
I would like to know as well. I did that on original EVO, and it worked well. I can't believe how many times I dropped the EVO on hard surfaces and had it be totally fine. The LTE feels more delicate. But I really don't want to add any additional size, I already wish it was about an inch shorter.
I'm using the full body Zagg. But the HD screen protector. The screen protector is about to be replaced with a steinheil.
I also ordered a skinomi, but zagg ended up being the first available. So I should have the skinomi as well in another day or two and I can compare the two. Generally speaking the skinomi is less rubbery, and leaves less finger prints then the zagg.
All in all, I like skins as they dont detract from the look of the device, and they don't add bulk. I don't typically drop my phones so I don't worry about that.
The only downside to the skin would be the smudges and fingerprints. Instead of making the glossy plastic part matte like some people would like to do, the whole back becomes glossy. but knowing the skin can be removed a year later and it will look brand new is totally worth it.

I purchased the skinomi full body as well and planned to use that with the zagg hd screen protector. My zagg has some indentations /scratches that have not self- healed after two days. I wonder if the skinomi will be better and does the hd really matter? I also considered a carbon fiber skin, but I don't want to change the look of the phone, and but yes, fingerprints...

I got the Skinomi brushed steel full skin. When it comes in and I get it on I will post some pics. This phone is huge and I dont want an even bigger case for it.
I am using the XO Skin. It works great. The phone feels so slim with it.
It will not provide much drop protection though.

I just ordered a matte-finish black skin from decalrus.com, waiting to see how that works out. (I used the zagg black leatherskin on my old Evo, this one couldn't really carry that off, even if it was available.)

I don't know about this specific device, but i have used one for my other device. I bought it because I want to keep the sleek look of the phone. It protects from scratches, but it doesn't protect much from being broken.
I thought I'd share the case I finally settled on after going through 2 crappy ones. One was a metal frame and the other was all jelly.
This case is like a hard plastic but bendable enough to easily get the phone out if you want. It looks great and is really durable. I like it because you can lay the phone face down and not have to worry about the glass touching the surface.
I haven't noticed any extra heat build up, unless I'm just going nuts, like downloading a torrent and playing a game. It's only about $8.50 shipped and I would recommend this to anyone. Feel free to tell me how much you hate it or love it.

I have the burgundy leather one, but I'm not a big fan of it. It's not as attractive as I expected. Also, I found it too thick for me although it did seem like it would protect from drops. So if you don't like thick cases, this may not be for you.
Has anyone found a good, glass screen protector? The one I purchased doesn't stick at the edges. I've heard others having the same problems with other brands (which probably all come from the same factory).
Thanks!

They are better than mine. Mine has a single notch around the speaker and prox sensor that doesn't cover the top.
This arrived today from Aliexpress. Fits well and it is almost unnoticeable because it cover whole screen. It has some dots and and minor raibow efects but i don't mind.
Total points: 4/5

Sorry for bad picture.
I had the same issue as you guys. Then I found a brand called Skinomi that I ordered from Amazon and had it professionally installed at a gadget shop. The skin was bubbly for about a week but then amazingly it sucked clean down to the screen and is immaculate! It took days to adhere and form. No bubbles and it actually heals itself. Also it has a no glare feature which is great for using outdoors. I really suggest the Skinomi brand. It's red and has a ninja design on the box.
Hello, has anyone tested this one? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/2pc...oft-Tempered-Glass-For-Nokia/32851366697.html
The one that comes with it when ordering at amazon is from Gepard/Lamel and has the same problem and doesnt even cover the whole screen (1-2mm from both sides are not covered).
Not glass, but so far I'm happy with the Military Shield one I bought ... I've used the brand in the past with good durability. This one feels more slippery than the old ones and less prone to finger prints.
It does stop just shy of the curved edges, because nothing flexible would stick out there
I installed this one from Aamzon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07D3GG6ZX it fits nicely, I'd say there is less than 0.5mm on the edge of the phone. it covers the whole screen. It is different from the old tempered glass I am used to use, this one seems to have glue on the border and nothing in the screen area, there is some moiré when light reflects on it.
Bought this one from AliExpress (aliexpress [dot] com/item/Glass-for-nokia-5-protective-glass-for-nokia-6-2018-2-3-630-tempered-glas-screen/32897562415.html), will let you know if it fits once it arrives from the slow boat from China in... 45 days LOL

Did you end up getting one? If yes can you post some pictures?
Don't buy these cheap "magnetic frames". The magnets around make the compass unusable and the steel frame lowers GPS signal. Like really much.
Bought this one https://www.wish.com/product/5b3b41dec56f8902645428fa
And there are GPS signals with and without frame.
My phone looks kinda ok..
The case while it looks likes, doesnt have the lip to stop the front and back side of the phone from touching the table. I got a tempered glass for the front, this one was fairly think so pressing the home button you can really feel the thinkness. I got the slickwrap naked series for the back, didnt want to hide the colorful Twilight color and it does come with the camera glass cover also, so it does provide some cover from scratches.
All in all, I enjoy this setup. I have provided links.
