Maybe a little bit but hey, all in all a simple and clever idea!

If you have a phone with a raised camera, then I found the feet on the bottom of routers and cablemodems work pretty well! Comcast will never know it's missing.

I also do but not like you

I have managed to microcut the camera lens too, can't see the cuts without good lighting but I have.

Never done it on any of my devices. The lens is receded into the body anyway, so there's no real risk of marks or scratches.

Also, the Nilkin tempered glass screen protector comes with two little protectors for each of the camera lenses.

More for than just earwax
Daughter has an X+ and she did quite a number on the lens. So much, that all of her pictures taken came out ghostly...
I pulled out my handy drill, a cotton swab, some toothpaste mixed with a bit of water, and started polishing that sucker. Did that for about 4 minutes (being careful not to stay in one place too long) and it removed all of the micro scratches she had caused by putting her phone into her rear pocket

Are these scratches or what...?

Earlier when I turned my G1 over, I found multiple lines on the back of the battery cover, I have no idea what they are but they obviously don't look very good. The phone has always been kept in a case and only today have I noticed them. I have a white G1 so the cover is a light bronze color. The lines resemble lines made by a pen very lightly. However, after applying alcohol (hand sanitizer), water, soap and intense rubbing it will not come off. Has anyone ever scratched their cover? What does it look like? I know this is a very... strange question to ask haha.

Yeah it is. I mean, really...it's probably a scratch.

suppose we can't really tell unless you get us some pics
my guess is, it's either a scratch or a crack.
I cant take any pics... they don't show up very well in the picture. But ah well, my Shield Skin comes in a few days, and new themes will be released in like a week from the competition to make me feel better. In the end I will probably end up just buying another battery case for 10 bucks off eBay. Must be my OCD haha.

Speck or dirt spot on all photos

There seems to be a speak or chip in the lens of my camera. Recently Ive noticed when Im framing up a shot or after I take a pic they all have a few pixel distortion in the same place. I have taken the back off my phone and looking at it under a magnifying glass I cant see any chips on the lens, could there be dirt or something behind the lens and if so can I take the lens off to clean it?
Here is what it looks like in my pics. It seems to be under the glass that you can touch after taking off the back panel?

i'd say that's on the sensor, not the lens, since the spot is too focused. Looks like a damaged sensor, then...
was it like this when you got the phone?
or has it just started to appear?
Im not sure, I rarely use my camera so I never noticed it before but after recording a video and seeing the speck and trying to clean the lens I have arrived here for help. I mainly use my G1 and never had an issue but I think my MyTouch may have come like this. I got it off ebay so that may have been why they were selling it. The speck is always perfectly clear and its not a HUGE inconvenience but if there is a way to fix/replace it I would like too.

[Q] Plastic layer on camera?

Hi guys,
For a long time I'm wondering is there's a plastic layer on the camera when you buy it. I notice something that could go for a plastic ring-formed layer around the camera lens, that holds a little dust at the rounded edges with time, but cant be pulled off? I tried all differend kind of things, but it won't come off... Still, I asked everyone of my family to see if they agree they see a plastic ring too, and they all said yes..
Have you noticed anything like this on your S4 camera?

Yes, there is a plastic guard on camera.
In my case, it popped out a bit from corner some months ago, which I later pulled off.
I cant seem to pull it..
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
there is a plastic layer over it
remember I tried to pull it off also and had some trouble since it seem not to remove
try with a sharp razor (at least that way I managed to remove it)

Screen glass problem?

My nexus screen glass is about 1 millimeter above the main frame, it is normal? Glass does not shakes, does not go down when pressed ...
This 1 millimeter, is uniform throughout the Screen!
The glass on mine sits right below the frame, very small depth difference but I can feel that the glass is slightly below it.
I'll have another, I have no Lucky :crying:
Anyone else who can give feedback?

Same here for me.
Looks like you may need to RMA it.
Mine is sitting below the frame. Perhaps give google or huawei a call to determine if that is a manufacturer defect?
Glass may be brooked from inner side.
Have opened a case with Google, will now send photos also take advantage and put here
Mines ever so slightly raised, certainly not 1 mm though, I also have a tempered screen protector on which lifts it a bit higher too.
After all is good, I think optical illusion, has a black rim around the screen glass

Screen softness?

I've had the phone for 24 hours now, and I've already noticed a lot of tiny scratches at the top of the display (by the camera/2nd screen). Several of these scratches go right across the camera, and they all seem to be going vertically up and down the glass right at the curve point. I truly haven't set this phone down screen side down, and the only thing I can think of is it getting scratched going in and out of my jeans. I keep it in my right front pocket all by itself. I'm super disappointed in the glass so far. Anyone else have this issue?
Edit: Photo's.

Mine did as well, I removed it first thing because it had 4 small bubbles in the middle of the display. I just figured it was for transport like every other phone comes with. I'll post photos in my original post.
