Are you guys using camera protection?
Any recommendations?
Or not needed?
You mean protection for camera lenses/glass ? Or overall protection of camera island ?
I have a case with good camera bump protection, I think its enough

Maybe its look nice, but camera protection level is zero?
And I think there are protective films for camera bumps on Aliexpress, minus of that solution, probably you will get an extra reflection in some photos, as its extra layer of material on top of lenses.

I got one made of glass.. it should arrive next week.. hope it works fine
i bought glass screen protetor for camera bump.
trying to avoid high rise case. don't want lighting issue ruin this monster camera
I'm looking for Hydrogel Camera protection instead of glass.
To avoid reflections when shooting at night.
Like the the usual front screen covers.
Anyone found it?
i have a CF overlay on mine, like .5mm thick so when i set the phone camera down it doesn't scratch it

I got my case-mate Clear Armor screen/device protector yesterday (fit quite well by the way), and it came with a nice, soft, and thin cleaning cloth. And I realized - I want a case/pocket for my HD2 made of this or similar material. Will not increase thickness, will protect the device, which means perfect for carrying it in my jeans' pocket. It will also clean the device actually, and you could probably even take calls without removing it

at time 00:13. Mine is actually in silver color, very nice one.
Any ideas?
EDIT: I was so excited, I send an email to their support with the idea
Something like this?

It's nice because it doesn't add bulk and it protects against scratches, but it doesn't really help against drops and what not? I can live with a few mm of rubber to help soften the blow.
i just bought this hopefully turns out nice doesnt scratch on the inside or i might have to get one of those invisible shields

The case-mate I bought was exactly like this one. However, I'm talking about a simple case/pocket made of thin fabric. Haven't seen anything like that. Maybe I should claim a patent

Yeah, this one looks nice, but again doesn't protect the whole device and adds to the size. The invisible shield is better IMO.

I got a xtremeguard one. For the price I can't complain about the transparency and also add a lot of grip to the back if you are going to run case-less.
I can upload pictures if you want!
also currently the got a coupon code for 90% off too! 90off1
if you can post pictures, I would appreciate!
Thx

I haven't tried Xtremeguard but I installed slickwraps on my gf's phone and it's a really good quality. it's a dry install and you have to have a LOT of patience with it. I have a skinomi on mine under my case and I'd have to say the SW is on par with quality, maybe even better of a cut fit and it doesn't have the orange peel feeling like the skinomi does. It has full coverage and they provide both top and bottom front plate cover and a whole front cover whichever you prefer. It has top and bottom coverings as well. Her phone is prone to riding in my gf's purse and so far only a couple of unnoticeable nicks, no tears. She did drop it once and the skin didn't scratch. Though I now make her put it in a case, the skin remains on for front and button coverage. The only issue I had with the whole front cover was the side bezel covers tend to stretch when you're applying it so you have to trim a bit to get them to lay flat. Also slickwraps has a 35% off coupon + free shipping today only (or so says their ad) the code is luvsw if you're interested.
I ended up buying Xtremeguard, because of the price difference. However the Xtremeguard does not protect the top or bottom =/
Thank you both!
I have bestskinever. Pretty good for the price. They do protect the side,top and bottom of the device.

Sure. Here is some pic I taken with my tablet. Too bad I don't have any better camera. The top portion where the power button is located. That sp is not from bestskinever. Its from skinomi. I would suggest you to get skinomi if you were looking for more durability. As the film on the skinomi feels much thicker than the bestskinever. If budget is wat you are looking for. Bestskinever would be it.

Hello all,
I just noticed a dark spot when I'm taking a picture. First I thought the lens was just dirty but after cleaning it is still there.
Anybody experienced something like this? And more importantly how to fix this.
Sadly, I have no warranty so I cant send it to Sony.
You can change the lens, which means changing the back cover, which means you'll loose waterproofness if Sony doesn't do it.
The lens is plastic and can't be fixed, you can also remove this plastic lens with a needle apparently and continue using the camera, though this will also compromise the waterproofing.
This has been discussed in another thread if you want more details.

Yeah i've seen the other threads but those where more spots in the lens. I naively hoped that my situation was different. Oh well there goes the waterproof part.

You can buy some third party stickers to glue the back cover to the phone. They look like this:

I'll also glue mine with silicone gel along with said sticker when the time comes.

Oh wow never heard of that. Thnx for the tip!
This is unbelievable, I changed the whole backcover and the smidge is still there see http://imgur.com/XbUDQsA
Edit: I opened the phone again and took a picture without the back cover and it appears that the actual camera lens is causing the smidge.
Hey there! I was wondering if anyone uses webcam covers on their XZ1C. Since the front camera on this phone is incredibly wide, I was wondering if anyone out there has one that manages to not show up in the wide angle selfie shots.
I like the look of this one - Amazon link - as it lists that it has a 4.6mm hole, which I believe should clear the front camera entirely. I'll order this and report back on my findings if anyone else is curious.
Otherwise, if you use one already and it works, please reply and let me know!
Thanks!
Hello, I'm here to update this. I bought what was in the amazon link, and the cover is just barely not big enough to cover the super wide angle of the front facing camera. As best as I could get it, the image had vignetting in the extreme corners. A not-so-great test image can be found here.
This would work on just about any other camera, as the XZ1C has the widest front camera I've ever seen.
The circle on this cover is 4.6mm in diameter. We would need something more around 5-5.2mm. If anyone can find one, please share!
All that being said, these things are absolutely tiny and razor thin...they'd be great on any other phone! I recommend it for other devices.
Thank you!
Edit: I'm going to try one of these. The internal diameter is 6mm, so it should clear with no problems. The entire thing is just under 22mm long, so it should fit on the glass without hanging off the side. I'll get back with results once I receive this one.
Edit Edit: I got in this exact one up above, the 6mm internal and 22mm long ones. It works perfectly, although right now it still slides around on the screen a bit. I hope it'll adhere better with a bit more time than a few minutes. It fits perfectly around the camera and around the notification light. Most importantly, NO vignetting! I'll post pics of it below.

Good day.
Nice findings!
As i am searching for a way to protect the back camera lens, your post called my attention.
Have you tried any of those in the back camera?
As the back camera has a bump, i don't know if any of those works.
Thank you.
Got this one, looks really nice on the phone, used Spigen before, but this case is much better protection for OnePlus 7T. Feels very grippy in a hand too. Check it on Amazon, can't add a picture but added it on Amazon.

I have this. Doesnt work well with gestures because the front lip extends so much. Protection wise, its top notch. No complains about protection.
If you guys dont use gestures, u should be fine.

It doesnt bother u at all? When i try to swipe from the side the case gets in the way too often haha.

Nope, maybe it's fingers size or the way you swipe... donno. Nevertheless, it's a great case and I love it.
Just got mine a few hours ago. I don't use gestures so that's no big deal, but I like it. The only thing that's kind of annoying is adjusting the mechanical switch to control silent, vibrate etc. It's kind of buried, but I'll get used to it. This is the first two piece case I've had and it seems pretty solid. Much easier to type with my huge hands. Not hitting things with my palm any longer.
I literally just got mines today. I wouldn't call it a grippy case but it definitely has a good amount of protection.
The downside is that it's a little more bulky than it's like and the raised lip around the edges hinders gesture performance.
