Is the camera covered or open? I don't want my camera lens to get scratched!

It's "open", so you can use it ... but it's protected by virtue of being recessed ... so it's both covered and open. Best of both worlds? I don't think you would want an actual cover or clear protective film over your camera, as it would in no way be as 'clear' as your lens, and would affect photo quality (and that's before dust and dirt found it's way in there). That lens is made of sturdy stuff, like the touchscreen (gorilla glass?). This case will be fine, unless you carry it around with a pocket full of sandblasting abrasive media and rusty nails.

The camera area is uncovered, but it is et back into the case to avoid scratches. I was worried as well, but I've had mine for 3 months, multiple falls happened, and still no camera scratches. This is a great protective case. I recommend it!

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.

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

Mine was and is free of scratches. Did you receive a scratched lens, and if so, return it for a new one. The 60mm macro is great.

No, the lens has a scratch resistant plastic cover for protection -- in a sense it's a transparent lens cap.

Mine was in perfect condition. A new lense should never have any scratches on the glass!,

I don't understand the question. If you are asking if a new lens should have a scratch on its lens the the answer is NO!!!!!!!!!

The back cover comes with a very thin film over the camera lens as well as over the back glass. You would be hard pressed to even notice the film on the camera lens since it' perfectly cut. After install, I suggest you clean/rub the camera lens with alcohol and a swab. Doing so will scratch the thin plastic film, but not the glass since it's much harder. Then, you'll know it's there and you need to remove it. I had to rub pretty good to get the edge to lift just enough so some tweezers could remove the film. It's that tricky. After it's removed, your pics will look crystal clear.

It is not the lens covers rattling, it is the optical element unit inside, could be because of the image stabilization mechanism as Vincent stated, but whatever the part is, I find it impossible to believe that this the way a major manufacturer like Canon designed it. Probably the latch designed to hold it when powered off is broken and not grabbing it. That said I don

Check where the camera hole is, mine covers part of the camera, I take it off to take pictures.

The camera does already protect the lens when powered down and I'm not sure the lens is even threaded to take a filter so I wouldn't really worry about it.

You should buy the case made for it, as the lens is not flat, so it needs to be protected. An extra battery is always nice.

It's got some kind of sticky stuff on the surface. You peal off the protective cover and attach to the camera. So far it is working just fine and is attached quite firmly.

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

It is the clear glass that fits into the back cover that protects the camera. This is the part that gets scratched or cracked.

No! The flap covers the camera lens. You have to flip it vertically to take pictures.

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