Is there a raised groove to the camera on the back to prevent scratching the lens when laying it down? And does it have a "lay on the table" lip too?

Its only like 1mm raised, but enough to avoid scratching, and doesnt have a lay on the table lip..

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.

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.

I recall there being one over the lens. Not sure how to explain front or back for the back of the phone, but it was on the side with the apple logo (what I would call back). You can lightly scratch your fingernail over the lens, if you feel some drag, it's there. If your nail glides over without any noticeable resistance, then there's no film.

It does not protrude from the case. I have not had any scratches on my lens or anything.

yes, the camera does not come with liner, but when it is turn off, the lens stay within the camera. i hope this will be helpful.

Yes it has the long tab off the bottom that goes down into the lens. Installed this in about 30 mins and works just like the nikon ring. Worth it. Just make sure you get a spare for next time!

Yes, the camera lens is exposed. I have not had any Robles with scratching so believe it is sufficiently submerged.

Yes. It is thick enough on the front to prevent the screen from touching anything when laying flat on the table. The back is also raised in the same fashion which prevent the camera lens from being scratched. Adds a little bulk but it's worth the protection on this minimal case.

On my camera, there is a little flap that covers the equivalent of the 'hot shoe'. If you pry it up, you'll see where it interfaces with the camera. I hope this helps!

It's never been an issue for me. When the camera's at rest on the strap, gravity keeps the camera down and thus no scratching, likewise when you're holding the camera, gravity keeps the clip down. I suppose the clip might rub against the camera when you're holding the camera sideways for portraits, but there's no real force being applied to the clip and scratching's never happened. I know where your concerns are coming from though: those reviews of people vigorously rubbing the clip against the camera...but this never happens in real life--at least in my experience.

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.

Thanks for all the responses. For what it's worth, I'm experimenting placing the camera sideways in the case with the camera handle facing up. I'm using one of the velcro straps, parallel to, and raised a bit from, the bottom to keep the lens from resting on the bottom from the case.

Mine seem to have a film on the outside of each lens, but it also seems like they don't want you to peel it off. Usually they provide a tab to use when they want you to peel something off. Did you peel it?

It's actually the optical image stabilization.. normal, yes. Lens cover, no.

There is a wide clearance where the clear plastic goes around the camera. Also, the camera lens does not extend past the plastic backing. There is also a lip on the rubber edge, which raises the phone, including the clear plastic backing and your camera lens, keeping it from touching the surface it's sitting on.

I have three lenses for my Sony F3, and haven't had a scratch on any of them. They seem to be very high quality. The LCD on the back of the camera did scratch, however. I might recommend a screen film to protect it if this is a concern for you.

Not sure what you mean by a lip but if you mean for the camera lens, the clear back has a cutout for the lens.

It will scratch but it takes a beating before it does. The lens is apparently coated with a scratch resistant coating and it has a cover on it. hope this helps.
