Note 4 Camera lens

[HristoBB]

So i had a note 4 for a while maybe 4 months and i just removed the plastic cover from the lens that it came with 
and i wanna ask u guys if any of u managed to scratch the lens somehow or how to protect them.
I read that if i keep that plastic cover there it will collect dust or other particles that could also scratch it, i'm so confused right now.
I had galaxy s4 before and my camera lens were scratched i don't live anywhere near sea or sand and i am very cautious about my phone, always using it with protective cases like Spigen neo hybrid's or Ballistix and always wearing Tempered glass screen protectors and always mine phone get scratched ..

It's typically best to leave them as they are from the factory. Taking off the cover exposes the lens to the elements, a very costly repair if it's damaged. Dust would likely only build up on the outside which can be easily wiped

The little optic? Or the cover? Are you replacing it or taking it off all together?

There isn't a way unless you buy one of the screen protectors that you cut to size but it's honestly not worth it

I am also worried about scratching the lens. I always keep the phone in a zip lock plastic bag when I am not using it or when the phone is in my pocket. It pockets it from dust and the sand in the pocket.Also it is very hard to scratch the lens.

I've had my Note 4 since it launched and the camera is still good as new.

I have my Note 4 since December of 2014 and have been using the phone without a camera protector since then. The lens protrudes out of most cases I have, and I have a habit of sliding my phone on the table. It hasn't gotten scratched yet. The metal frame around the glass capsule is actually slightly taller than the glass itself.

That's very nice to hear i hope that mine will survive that long too

Just buy the dbrand skin just for the camera lens cover, it's like $6 or something like that and you can protect it
