Hi all just a basic question is it worth to put a protector on the camera or not? If so what ones would you recommend?
Thanks

I've been thinking about this myself. I've just put on a case because I know when putting the phone down, the first thing that touches the surface will be the camera module. Also since the module is just metal this time, I figure the paint will be the first thing to scuff off.
A glass protector might be a bit thick.
Don't use the full glass that covers the camera lens - the gap will cause condensation since it's not on the surface of the lens.
Skins or the aluminium ones with the cutouts should work fine.

Simply use a good case with raised guards around the cam module. It's protective lense cover is replaceable anyway. Don't use it as a finger hold...
That's all I have on the 10+ and I live in the dusty desert. Zero scratches so far.
Carefully clean with a dry microfiber cloth as needed.

I was thinking of getting that case but would worried me was that all it would take is a little stone get caught under that camera slider other than that looks nice.
Hey thanks for all your replies seeing as my case is slightly raised above the camera think I will leave the camera protector off for now..

My Bolt case has a raised 5-6 mm guard on the cam/sensor modules.
Case selection is limited for this new phone.
Check out the Zizo Bolt when it becomes available. It's my favorite case; it can take a hit, is easy to hold and use. Also has slightly raised guards for the display, good corner hit protection but still fairly compact.
I bought whitestone glass screen protector for the camera when I first removed the plastic. It has held up for the few days I've had the phone. It does cover the lens with glass so it should protect them. Had plastic film on my S10+ but came off when I wasn't looking and didn't seem like I needed the protection though as the camera is not scratched or cracked..

The hood on high dollar lens isn't there just to reduce flaring, it helps protect the lense from direct contact. Even in falls it does this quit well.
Likewise your case should have good raised protection to help avoid contact with anything.
Poor cleaning techniques are the next biggest hazard. Keep your fingers off it and use only a microfiber cloth to clean it. Dirt, sand, grit doesn't scratch it unless you rub it. Wait to clean it if you can't do it right at that moment. Use a blower bulb the remove loose sand etc before you use the microfiber cloth.

this kind of case also solve the problem of a "dancing phone" when you use it on a table
Ok just an update I thought i would try camera protection so i brought a couple they were glass type ones day time pics were not bad but night pictures i kept getting lens flare. So i took off the protector and lens flare was gone. So i thought I would let you know of my result using glass type.
Are the Whitestone Dome ones any good?
It will be good to have som addon for camera to protect.
yeah I`m waiting on my later case, the cyber edition covers the camera bump and has round cutouts for the cameras, so well see when it shows up.

I just have to say that the tempered glass ones suck. Because of the metal frame, they use some kind of strong adhesive to get the tempered glass to adhere. It's impossible to remove without the glass shattering. I managed to remove the tempered glass camera protector but it managed to scuff/scratch the matte black metal around the cameras... sucks.

Wow that does suck mine was sticky but lucky enough managed to get it off without any problems.
I'm just worried that the sticky glass might damage the flat black paint on the camera hump when you try to remove it?

Hi
I'm looking for a case, in the style of Spigen rugged armor, that protects the lens by protruding over the lens.
Hates when a case is to thin and the phone rests on the lens when putting it down with the back down.
And with this phone it's extra important to protect the camera lens, since the main reason for me to buy it is the camera!
I ordered one of these, it seems to protect the lens pretty well but I didn't received it yet so I cannot tell for sure. I think you can use it with pretty much any case.

Yes, it rises and can protect the lens when you put the phone on a surface back down, if this is your concern (it was also mine, because naked the lens stays very exposed).
Even with a glass protector over the lens I think I have 1mm over..

Any idea where to get a replacement glass shipped to US asap?
A few local shops can get it, but want 100 for parts/repair. I have already removed to shattered nice and clean, but can't seem to find anywhere that has the replacement glass available.
Thanks.
Edit: Any local shop I stopped in only had the s20...
Spoke to Samsung $117.98 for rear camera glass replacement mail in repair w/ shipping...
Then I ask price if the front glass on the same phone is cracked with the super gorilla glass...SAME PRICE.
It will sit in the box til we're able to find one online somewhere.
Please lmk if u see the glass, not a protector. Thanks.
Samsung will only replace the entire back panel if the camera breaks. I broke my S20 Ultra and had to do this, they replaced the whole back panel at UbreakiFix. I got them to custom make a grey 512GB S20 Ultra which was cool.
Still looking for the Ultra rear camera glass replacement only.
Anyone able to confirm if the the glass opening on the rear camera is identical on the Note 20 and Note 20 Ultra?

How did you break it? Did it slip and fall from your hands?
Did it break in a cover?
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B08JVD15LS/
Found and replaced broken rear camera glass thanks to COCO on amazon. Its amazing they ship a better replacement part then Samsung did OEM on a $1300 device.
The phone slipped out the front pocket of my gym shorts and fell 2ft to the ground, in a case. No screen or lens protector. LVP flooring, not even cement or tile. Rear camera glass cracked only.
Issue is that samsung used a bead of adhesive only around the perimeter of the glass, leaving the middle VERY vulnerable. The replacement adhesive is much more thorough and comprehensive. Glass fits perfect.

Get a better case. Your lucky that's all that broke.
I use the Zizo Bolt on my 10+ It's sucked up some good falls on concrete without a scratch. It has good cam protection.
Remember though if a case takes a hard corner impact(s) it might be a good idea to replace it; material fatigue can degrade its impact protection. If the urethane has been stressed it has a shiny appearance at the stress point.
Hi guys! I have the same problem than you. Only than my glass got scratched it seems with a key in the pocket! It is small but i would like to find a replacement.
That vendor you post it seems no longer has it, have you found any replacement for a mystic bronze note 20 ultra???
Thank you very much!
My son has broken his S20+ Ultra camera lens twice. Once when it was laying face down on sidewalk. Dog walked on it and cracked camera lens. It was in the OEM flip case. The second time kit broke was from a drop in a full Sheldon leather wallet case.
With that family history I have been worried about my Note 20 Ultra. I started ordering and then returning improper cases via Amazon until I found an acceptable.
These are my personal requirements :
1) wallet / flip style case to protect screen and camera
2) case must have a clasp to keep wallet closed if dropped
3) all case corners must be constructed to absorb and protect from shock stresses
4) case construction around camera must be higher than the camera lens and should grip the lens bump solidly - especially along the thin edge
5) wireless charging with phone in case can be sacrificed for good case protection
Hours of web searches and research followed by trying 4 different cases ended with...
*** Visoul Samsung Note 20 Ultra Wallet case
- thick leather case - strong magnetic clasp - proper TPU inner case to hold the phone - camera is held firm - case is well raised above lens face.
Our past phones were protected in Otterbox Strada cases. Otterbox, doesn't make the Strada for Note20's
I hope my experience helps.

Good point.
I've used the UAG Monarch for my last 4 Note devices (this, Note 10+, Note 8, & Note 4 Edge).
Each iteration, their cases seem to be built with less integrity - however, this is the first chip/crack/anything other than a scratch any of my devices has suffered while sporting a high end UAG case, so I don't think the case is to blame.
I can tell you from just a physics standpoint after observing the construction in removing the broken glass, the method Samsung engineers decided on of suspending the glass adhesive ONLY around the perimeter of the bezel will lead to many other Note 20 Ultra rear camera glass breaking.

I never have my 10+ out of it's case except to do maintenance. Same with the screen protector.
This type of phone design needs a case with military drop specs. I favor the 2 piece composite systems; semi-hard urethane that goes around the phone with a polycarbonate clip on backing to stabilize it and hold it firmly in place. A back with a clip adds another layer.
I don't expect them to survive a 6 foot fall but a surviving a 2-3 foot fall onto concrete is needed.
Cases need not be waterproof as these phones are well sealed.
Pay close attention to the cam, the corners especially the spen corner. That's my 10+'s favorite landing spot.
The cam guard needs to be about 4-5+ mm high.
Make sure there are raised front guards on the top and bottom as well as slightly raised sides for face plants.
The side guards will also help stop accidental touches but still keep the curved screen's functionality.
For the 10+ the Bolt case rocks.
Can't say how the 20U version performs though. It seems to come with a screen protector which I question, the 10+ version does not.
Make sure there's enough beef to keep it from becoming hamburger...

Looks like no one has ordered the case I’ve decided to go with, so I’ll post a small review after I use it. I ordered the Case-Mate case in Iridescent Swirl.
My personal phone is an iPhone 12 Pro Max and I’m using the official Apple leather case; it’s leagues ahead of every/any case I’ve ever used for any phone. Particularly, the button tactility makes the case near perfect and a joy to use. The S21 Ultra will be a business phone so I’m looking for something that’ll at least compare in terms of quality to the Apple leather case.
Finding a case similar in quality means looking at Samsung and their official leather case, so I’ll order one when the preorder credit kicks in. But the Case-Mate case looks great (love the finish!) and it looks like it has excellent button tactility. Hopefully it’s worth its $40 price tag.
Any recommendations for a clear, thin case? I'm between:

BORING.
i already have the samsung oem case with spen slot.
i was hoping for a case with different color or clear.
I have the Samsung Case too - and agree that it would be nice to have a clear version - fingers crossed...
Nearly impossible to find asking official cases for sale in the US. Specifically the TPU case.
I've got Samsung Leather Cover
Pros:
- cool look
- the phone is very firmly attached to it
- does not enlarge the dimensions of the phone too much
- protects the island with cameras well
Cons:
- it doesn't stick out too much from the screen side, so it's a bit dangerous to put the screen down
- skin prone to scratching (damage)
- the phone sways a little when you put its back down
- it's hard to take it off the phone, I'm afraid that I will damage it when I will try to remove the phone from it
- it holds in the hand on average, but still a bit better than a bare phone
Tomorrow will try Ringke Onyx.

Thanks for this report. What has concerned me about this case, from reports here and on Amazon and Best Buy reviews is the durability. You say "skin prone to scratching...". You are seeing this already or understand that it will, with time, show wear/damage?

I use it only the second day, so it's hard to say, I try to take care and do not expose the case too much in case I want to return it to the seller (EU law, up to 14 days from buying). However, it seems to me that it will wear out quickly when you don't care where you put your phone.

Hello
Learned in the past my smartphone often lands on the ground.
Are you using / can recommend a good tempered glass for that model?
Wonder if it brings a good protection from cracks at all.
You need a case with good corner and face plant protection (flat surfaces). The case is the first and best defense against damage.
I use the Zizo Bolt on my 10+. Zero damage after around a dozen 2-4 foot drops onto concrete.

This variant includes a tempered glass protector which you may need to leave off. My variant comes with none.

Already using Spigen Ultra Hybrid. I'm rather lf protection from cracks caused by falling which i heard of glass is better than plastic.
the LK tempered glass protectors had the best reviews, no complaints from me either.

it does come up smaller than the total screen (so it fits with cases), it covers the used part of the screen but not the bezels.

You can't be face planting a phone with no case. High impact G's can destroy chipsets, mobos, other internal parts and mounts.

Good.
My 10+ survived a fall onto a rough piece of an aluminum angle from about 3 feet. It marred the factory protector but not the glass. Hit on the curved portion too, most of the impact was probably on the concrete though.
Screen protectors are mostly to prevent marring and scratches from sand and grit. They are a pain to put on although they may provide more impact protection or... not.
Glass is witchy stuff.
Neither a true solid nor liquid it is subject to the laws of fluid hydraulics at times. It can behave in seemingly bizarre ways. Anyone who ever done work as a glazer can verify this.
Hey,
When I had my s10+, I bought the duo case incipio which protected the corners and sides of the phone because the phone case was raised a bit. I'm looking for a new case for s23 with raised edges and corners to protect the curved screen from impact if the phone gets dropped.
Incipio has released a Duo case of the S23 as well. So why not look at that again?

bought it, does not offer protection for curved screen. i can feel it by running my fingers down the edges of screen and the lip was not raised enough to protect the curved screen.
S 23 have non curved screen. Did you have and talk about S23 Ultra?

The S23 & S23+ have flat screens not curved. Are you talking about the S23 Ultra?
