does it scratch mask It looks like the outside magnet would scratch the lense

No, it does not scratch your mask. It just sits there and moves around while you are underwater to defog your mask!

I've been using these for years and they have never scratched my lens. There is felt on the lens side of the magnet. They don't fall off, even after multiple & weeks of diving (as another person reported.) I've never had them interfer with my compass either (as another person reported.) If you brush it against another opposite magnetized force, then the outside one will attach itself to that metal, so just be aware of other metal devices that might be magnetized. I love them and always carry extras just in case this happens (and it has, due to my carelessness.)

I have not had any scratches on my lens. I do keep it in the camera bag that was part of the purchase. I've traveled a lot with the camera as well as used it a lot. Thus far, I'm very satisfied with the camera.

Jeff, I have owned these glasses for about 3 months now. They work well for me in my shop as I transition from inside to outside. I wear them with the tether that came with them so they really don't get scratched the way I have them around my neck when not on my face. They have held up well and I would recommend them. I thought I saw some where in the ad or paperwork that they do have a scratch resistant coating but not 100% sure.

Hi Nora it will protect the lens elements from rain droplets, dust and scratches. but it can"t be used underwater if that's what you are asking, water droplets will mark it but can be wiped off with lens tissue and if it gets scratched it's cheaper to replace than a lens hope this helps.

no. there is a decent sized cut out around the lens. its a super awesome case. which considering that i have friends with otter boxes and other "armour" cases, mine has caused no issues, and has lasted longer than theirs!

I use a UV Protector to save my lens from dust & scratches during shoots & Lense Cap saves it when the lens is kept in the bag or while carrying.

It does, yes. The cover ONLY fits if you have the hood on. For this lens, you'll basically always want to leave the hood on.

Yes, but I usually have the magnet hold the sides together to prevent scratching of the lenses.

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

Not really, but there is protection in the soft case provided so the lenses don't get scratched.

No. There are vinyl plastic coated tips on the ends. I have poly-carbonate plastic lenses and have been using them for a couple of years without scratching the lenses

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

The first one I got looked like a smudged triangle and it had scratches on and around the lens. The second one I got was much better still not really a dot but much better and this one works fine. I say return it...hope that helps.

I've had my camera in and out of the case many times and the lens is still crystal clear. I think it would take a bit of abuse, other than a camera case, to scratch this lens. Very tough and great protection.

Did you remove the plastic protective sheet on the outside of the lens before you first used it?

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!

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.
