Is there any protection for the camera lens?

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.

No, not as it comes. You probably could rig up something if you have a case for the lens

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?

I have mine in a case but have never had a problem with anything scratching the camera lens. Nothing touches the camera lens. Hope this helps.

The lens is on the inside, protected-that's what I needed to protect it from sand and weather. There is no cover.

There is no filter that will protect the front element. The only filter this lens takes is a drop-in filter in the lens barrel.

Hello Edwin :)Yes i do believe it does. A lens cap seems like a very insignificant thing, yet it actually protects thee most important part of any camera, the lens! Good question and I hope i was of some help?Reiver

Yes, there is an opening for the lens. I use it all the time while in its case to take pictures. I've had the case for a year and a half and it's not showing any signs of wear and is very sturdy.

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

Good question, and a controversial topic. Lots of discussion on various forums. For imaging, no, it isn't needed. For protection, maybe. I use filters to protect my lenses. They're cheaper to replace. Or, they would be, but I've never damaged a filter, much less a lens. I still use them, and have since my old 35 mm film days (that's 35 years of not damaging the end of a lens, including a couple of Himalayan treks). The hood also protects the glass, and many consider that adequate. I just can't get past the relative cost to replace should my clumsiness finally break through, so to speak.

The camera lens is well below the level of the case and is protected from scratches when the camera is placed on its back.

The case does stick out past the lens a little which offers some protection. But there is no clear plastic lens protection built into the case if that is what you are looking for.

No, it doesn't. I suggest buying a regular case to protect the rear camera's lens, even the cheapest models sold here on Amazon will be able to do that.

No, but the lens is very tough. It would take a great deal of abuse to hurt it.

There's no raised groove on the camera cut, so the lens can easily get scratched if it's not laid on a flat surface. Which is a bit of a downside for this case. The flash part is more protected than the camera lol, it's kinda weird. Yes it does have a high enough lip to protect the screen from being scratched if laid facing down.

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.
