What type of protection does it provide to the camera lens on the back of the phone?

It is a relatively deep case. Does not offer any sort of specific protection to the camera but it is very well protected over all

There is nothing covering the camera. The upside is that the sensor under the camera can still be used because of this. The case does give it limited fall & scratch protection from the additional thickness that envelops the area around it.

The opening over the lens is the right size...have dropped the phone a couple of times and have bumped up against the phone while it was on my belt and everything is fine. The lens sits a little recessed from the case...so sitting the phone on its back has not been a problem. The lens is exposed ..so all I can say is be careful. Hope this helps...Really like this case!!!

There is no cover over the camera lens opening, however, the way the case is constructed keeps the camera lens recessed and out of "harms" way.

I'm not sure "exactly" what you mean ... but when the camera is on ... the lens extends out from the camera body. When you shut it down ... the lens is retracted back into the body and there is there is a mechanism that automatically covers and protects the lens. It's flat and compact. Very nice design. I hope that helps you out.

As all others have answered, yes, a small metal cover protects the lens when the camera is powered off. HOWEVER..... it is not the strongest piece of metal in the world! A good strong poke could easily breach that cover and damage the lens, so I suggest that you still plan to treat the camera with respect, even when turned off.

The lens is exposed but there is adequate protection. I've had the case for over a month and my lens is still perfect. I hope this helps.

No case here but can understand why some would want one. When off the lens is completely protected but the back screen is ALWAYS exposed. Actually, that's the only thing I dislike about this camera. Stick on screen protector?

Not necessarily because it a magnet that you glue on the phone. Then you attach the lens to the magnet which is around the camera. I got this from my friends birthday and she says she loves it!

No, the cover does not cover or impede any of the photo taking aspects of the phone. It's worked out well for me.

It does not cover the camera lense. It has a hole for the camera, does not affect photos at all.

It offers a little bit of clearance so that the glass in front of the lense does not rest on surfaces that the back of your phone is on, but there is no physical barrier beyond the glass that the phone already has in front of the lense.

From what I can tell the outer covering is not the lens, but rather a UV filter of some sort. The lens itself is far behind the outer covering. So the lens is protected by default. I don't know the camera (yet) but I have been researching it a great deal and am knowledgeable about cameras.

you do not need one . the lens is hard to damage . this phone does actually need any protection , more likely a grippy cover. Look at the destruction test on youtube

Hi, no need to take the back of the phone. This looks like a case that attaches to the back of the phone and the thread for the lens is embedded in that. it's something you can keep on the phone at all times if you wish, it offers some protection too. hope this helps.

The back cover comes with a very thin film over the camera lens as well as over the back glass. You would be hard pressed to even notice the film on the camera lens since it' perfectly cut. After install, I suggest you clean/rub the camera lens with alcohol and a swab. Doing so will scratch the thin plastic film, but not the glass since it's much harder. Then, you'll know it's there and you need to remove it. I had to rub pretty good to get the edge to lift just enough so some tweezers could remove the film. It's that tricky. After it's removed, your pics will look crystal clear.

No, there's an opening on the back for the camera lens. That's one of the reasons I like this case.

No, the case has 2 parts. A rubber part that covers the back of the phone and the holder for the lens that fits snug with the rubber cover.

There is a magnet strip that stays forever on your phone around the camera. But the actual lenses do not; you can remove them whenever you want. When you want to attach and use the lens that's when you place it on the magnetic strip to hold. The strip is not that strong, it will hold the lens in place but with too much movement it can fall off.
