Does the fact that the glass covers the forward facing camera affect picture quality at all?

No, it does not have any affect on the photos. All my photos are still clear and beautiful.Hope this helps.

Yes, it does, but not very well when the upper pane (if there is an upper pane) is all the way up. With the glass up, you get reflection which can interfere with the image. With my storm door, I've lowered the pane, but the cam still has to "look" through the screen, which seems to produce "distortion" - i.e., there seems to be too much light coming in.

No, the pictures are exactly the same as they would be take. with an iPhone 4/s . The lense doesn't effect the quality or resolution of the photo. It only gives you a wider view than usual. The only downside is that you can't use the flash because the case covers it

You may lose some image quality with older lenses designed for film. This is because the cover glass over the sensor creates optical aberrations if the lens design does not take this cover glass into account. See "http://www.lensrentals.com/blog/2014/07/sensor-stack-thickness-part-iii-the-summary" for more information on this.

Best option is removing the glass. This allows the IR to work correctly, if there is glass infront of the camera it reflects back blinding your camera. Won't be as secure a case unfortunately.

I use mine outside in a variety of settings and conditions and viewing the images on the screen hasn't been a problem. The problem has been making the most of the on-screen icons and features (I'm looking at you depth gauge). My work around has been to become familiar in advance with what will be in place with the expected function. That makes things easier. I wouldn't suggest modifying the camera, but a good set of sunglasses and -in my case anyway- a swim mask with bifocal lenses could be worthwhile.

Not at all. Pictures are just as clear as well. My sister does have AN APP which she uses as a camera and it does affect that but not sure why. If you use your regualr IPHONE camera you'll be fine.

We'll I'm not sure if you mean "image quality" as in taking pictures? Or as in the screen. And we'll the plastic is only on the back side and it has a a part cut out for the mic, camera lense, and flash. So in answer to if it affects "image quality", no. You will notice nothing at all.

Yes, to some degree. I shot mid morning with no clouds and a bright sun behind me, didn't have much of a problem. And as someone else stated, it is better visibility than an iPhone screen. It is a nice little camera and I am happy with the picture quality.

No. You can put something in front of it, but it will decrease the image quality.

The screen protector in front covers everything but the ear piece. It doesn't interfere with the front camera at all. I had one of those on my Galaxy Nexus and I frankly prefer them better to the ones that leave cut outs. It covers everything, protects the front facing camera, and you can't notice them. Also, the actual screen protection is less noticeable. Looks like if there's nothing installed.

i applied the screen front and rear. there is a cut out for the flash. It should not cover the flash or the lens. I have found that my Sony produces a white wash on most pics taken.

No, it covers the front facing camera (the one on the side with the screen). Because it's a matte finish, it makes the camera image very blurry and essentially unusable.

No the camera is not affected at all. I'm able to take pictures without any problems. every single person who has seen my case has loved it including my brothers who like hightech gadgetty cases

picture quality is same but I notices some glares on some areas. May be I got the defective piece.

They covered the front facing camera, but you are right the two other sensors are not covered. I can only imagine it would be extremely hard to center all the holes together when initially installing the glass. The glass edge may also affect the sensors some how if they were covered.

John, thanks for your question. Most of our Ballistic Glass screen covers do cover and protect the front-facing camera. I hope that helps. Best, Tech Armor Support
