It's what will be keeping the precious rear panel and front glass from being scratched to oblivion. When you lay the phone on the rear, the cameras edge will give it a lift protecting both the camera and the rear panel at the same time. Anyway, can't wait to get some solid reviews on this thing. Im sure it will be pretty damn good. Good job Sammy.
All a bit moot when you install the essential cover

Not sure about you.
But i find my self always sticking my finger right into the camera lense, and it's always hard to keep clean
specially when you are eating with your hands then you do something on the phone and that oily residue is hard to get out without a good wipe.
the problem is i find i spend a lot of time trying to clean it.
So i was wondering if anyone got a good idea to put some sort of screen protector for the camera lense
i was thinking probably i'll cut a small piece of the screen protector and put it on top, since i got many to spare
also i got a few very nice one with mirror coating
problem is... not sure if the mirror coating ones will make the picture less sharp as it reflects back the light
right now the camera is taking very nice a vivid pictures as well as recording, and i wouldn't want a screen/lense protector to cut down the resolution & light input when taking pictures and making videos
specially for night mode photo shots
Food fingers will also be an issue with a screen protector. Unless you use a anti glare one which will most likely degrade the image. You best bet is a case or backing that recesses the camera preventing you from touching it.
it's really hard to avoid touching the camera, and you're right, a screen protector might deteriorate the image quality.
what i've been doing, same with phones i've previously had, is carry a small piece of micro fibre cloth in my wallet. that way, i can make sure my lense is clean.

i do have that, problem is, oily residue is hard to remove with the micro fibre cloth
it just smudges it around, the only way to take it out is to go to the washroom get a tiny bit of soap (or wet cloth tissue, like the ones you can get from KFC) and clean it with the micro fibre cloth
I never took the protector off that comes with the phone.
It was quite funny. The screen protector I bought came with a protector for the camera lens but no matter what I couldn't get it on.... I discovered that the camera came with a protector already on it, lol.
this would probably be your best bet. it's an oleophobic (supposedly oil repelling) screen protector that includes 3 extra pieces for the camera lense as well.

Just use your thumb.
1. Don't eat greasy food, it's bad for you--bad for your smartphone, too.
2. Use a fork instead of your fingers.
3. Barring those smart-alecky suggestions , perhaps there's an opportunity for someone to develop a sexy after-market back for the SGS--one which makes for easier battery changing and has a sliding window over the camera lens. Does something like that already exist?
If you get a Martin Fields screen protector it usually comes with a additional cut out protector for the camera lens. It's pricey though, but the film is good quality and you don't get any bubbles.

Despite the comments, the phone looks like it actually held up pretty well.
Yes i think it did better than nexus 6p and z5(back camera plastic lens cover and the screen had slightly detached from motherboard and battery), it's shame sony did not used scratch resistant glass on led/laser/white balance sensor and aluminium space frame it should make this phone little heavier but still more durable than plastic which as we've seen tends to brake rather than bend. In case of finger print scanner i think he scratched it too much in the middle compared to other smartphones he tested
The fingerprint sensor is also recessed, which should make it less vulnerable to scratches.
I've had my phone for about a week now and I noticed that the right side of my camera was collecting a lot of dust. After removing it, I noticed that there is a gap between the rear glass and the camera where it looks like some adhesive is exposed.
Gap on the right side: http://imgur.com/a/ifWFFSC
Left side showing no gap: http://imgur.com/a/FlJTECh
Aside from it bothering me somewhat from an aesthetic standpoint, I'm more concerned about dust and water ingress into the phone and under the lens.
Does anyone else have this issue? Should I exchange the phone before the 15 days are up? Aside from this, I'm impressed with the build quality.
I may have the slightest of gaps but barely noticeable. The glass has to be a wee smaller than the frame so it's not a press fit which would cause stress and ultimately a fracture of the glass.
If it does not bother you too much keep the phone. It won't impede waterproofing and camera quality.
Does anyone have any suggestions for a video showing the safest way to remove the glass once you've heated it? I've looked at a few video's on youtube but they either show someone taking out glass fragments piece by piece or one guy who attacks his poor phone with a spudger and looks like he's trying to rip it to pieces!
What should I look out for when it comes to finding a replacement unit? Is it better to buy the ones with the adhesive already attached or should I get one where the adhesive comes separately to the glass and use the glass I already have? I've seen some reviews where people complain about the new glass resulting in hazy images. Mine is fine on the main camera, but the wide lens is full of dust!
I'm in the UK and this looks like a pretty solid item and at that price, if it's no good I can soon get another.
Had the same issue only way to get out the micro peices of glass was to carefully pick them out and shake it a little then i used a hair dryer to blow everything out.
Just think of it as carefully surgery i tried my hardest not to let any pieces come in contact with the bare lens itself.
I bought the same thing but in white mines a grey phone so now its a 2 tone colour on the back.
I think you've got the wrong end of the stick, mine isn't broken, it's just got a lot of dust in the wide angle lens. So I need to be careful when lifting the whole piece out so I don't take anything else out that shouldn't.
You bought that exact one from amazon? Was everything OK? What's the quality like with the photos after changing over?
My bad anyways lifting it off you wont take anything else with it just heat it up with a dryer and peel away...but you might break it while doing this so Becareful and slide your thin tool ever so slowly along the edges.
I bought the same but not from that seller there all from the same china warehouse so no diff...to me photos havent changed at all.
Just bought 10plus... any tempered glass without a hole in market? I dont care for finger print reader... if anyone got a good tempered glass kindly post link.. thank you so much.
Double posting please delete, my bad.. thanks
I feel you.
I've had the same issues with urethane etc ones as well.
The reason they're like that is because it will cause optical issues with the front cam.
I don't care about selfies so some refraction, cmos reflections etc don't concern me.
At the end of the day finding the best screen protector that fills your needs is more important than that bloody cam hole.
If you can find one without sacrificing other needed parameters, fine. If not don't sweat it as the hole causes little trouble normally in well design protective cover.
The wet apply Gorilla IQ Shield has one and even on this 6 month old screen protector it's adhering perfectly around said hole.
It's time to replace it now and the hole was no issue at all in my case.
Been an alinsea tempered glass fan, for they have been good and great price. Puppy knocked onto floor so need a new one. Kinda changed search words for protector and have found Akcoo screen protector. Getting about same reviews as alinsea. Someone always has to degrade. Guess I will find out and let ya know.
So 3 screens. No hole camera cutouts no fingerprint locations. You are thinking...junk. I have posted pictures after on. Review...Love It No camera holes no fingerprint set area and nice side to side edge meet screen Most screens once hole set to camera you have a gap between screen and phone case. Not now. Once on, set, fits nice. Was paying 9.99 for one. Now you get 3 clear screens and all accessories. 16.99. No complaints. If you don't here from me. No problems. Watch video and cover plus lightly push fingerprint area while using light. Fingerprint works phenomenal!
