iPhone X camera lens cover

[BlueBull]

Anyone apply tempered glass cover onto their iPhone X camera module? A lot of cheapo ones around but do they affect picture quality? Will they also affect photos taken with the flash on and block the mic beside the flash?

previously applied some sort of film protector over s7 edge rear camera, cmi, photos were affected, you won't know until you remove them.

not sure about tempered glass ones.

To be honest, there's no need to stick anything at the camera module.

Wah why you all so onz ah? Put tempered glass on sapphire. Although amidst reportedly that the sapphire on the camera lens is not as scratch resistant as reputable Swiss watches, but is it you all feel that this time round iPhone X pricing is on the steep end, hence extra precaution is needed to protect your phone?

Last time those iPhone 6/6s/7 Plus series, no one ever talked about pasting sp over the lens.

No, and I don't. I'll explain why I chose not to.

The camera module is already made with Sapphire albeit with some impurities. As Sapphire is quite scratch resistant, approx 9 on Moh's scale, it does not really get scratched with most daily objects like keys and coins. Diamond being the hardest, 10 on Moh's scale, will definitely scratch it.

Tempered glass protector is at most around 5 to 6 on Moh's scale. It scratches much easily. And by sticking the protector on top of the camera module, you are effectively reducing the overall scratch resistant on the cameras. The last thing you want is any scratch marks on your photos.

Not to mention screen protectors actually smudges more easily than Sapphire, and harder to wipe away smudges. So overall picture quality will be affected again.

My advice is - just make sure you get a case that protrude out enough to take the scratch from a table.
