How well does the case protect the camera lens when placed on a flat surface?

I have no issues at all with my lense, the case is thin, but the lense never touches the surface it is sitting on. The case is a little smoother than others Ive used, which equates to being a little harder to grip, but it was very easy for me to get used to. I remain very happy with this case.

The case is thick enough to provide a lip so the camera doesn't touch surfaces when set down.

It is just thicker than the camera bump. The camera will not touch the surface at all when laid flat.

The case itself is made with a higher edge so that when it is placed on a flat surface the lens is protected.

No. The flat lens avoids increasing the fisheye effect under water because one "easier" way to build such a depth case would be with a curved door that would exacerbate the fisheye effect. The flat door avoids increasing the already-present fisheye, but it doesn't fix what's inherently there. You'll need to do that in software (there are packages out there that do that).

There is no clear covering over the camera lens like the screen has (not sure you would want it either) but the case encircles the lens so it is recessed back 2/16"+. Enough to shield from a glancing blow but not from a direct hit unless object is too large to fit in recess.

No it won't but I like mine with the camera lens on the bottom facing out. I love this case!

The lens is exposed but the thickness of the case is enough to protect it from scratches.

The case is open where the camera is. There is a raised ridge, so if you lay it on the back the camera does not touch any surfaces.

Nope. If you lay the phone on the camera side, your camera lens will touch the surface.

It will still provide good protection for the camera. You could use the empty space to carry your lens cloth. The front piece can be removed while shooting. The case has to be removed for downloading pics and battery changes but it's just the twist of a dial.

I did not use the case a lot, but it is possible to take photos. Not sure if it would cause a bit of a shadow around the lens, however.

Yes. It protects the eye cup lens when the unit is mounted on the camera. The eye cup lens is unprotected from the other (camera) side, but it not an issue while mounted on the camera.

No but the lens is recessed in the case by about 2 millimetres. Shouldn't interfere with the optical image stabilization that way

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.

Lens cap fits fine. Also nice though is if I'm taking pictures and walking, I can put the lens cap in my pocket and still protect the lens with just the case. Very nicely made case. I use a wrist strap attached to the camera so if I want, I can take the case off in a second, give it to my wife to put in her purse and just have the camera, and later in seconds, re- attach the case.

The case fits nicely with the original lens cap on the camera.With the necessary adapter and neutral density filter on the camera and no lens cap, the fit is tight. If the lens cap is now added, the fit is very tight with some bulging of the flap.

It worked very well for me. This case just snaps together around the camera. no leaks, no distortion from the plastic in front of the lens. You do have to memorize the buttons on your camera and practice a bit with the rubberized button covers. I used in it while snorkeling in Hawaii.

Not really, seems to me the case has no impact on the camera. Maybe this is due to the white and clear casing.

It does not interfere with the camera at all, I have seen a bit of glare from the flash in very low light but it is minimal. Both My wife and I use this case every day and have no complaints.
