Default Camera Cover

I just want to know if the camera lens cover is replaceable.

I always have a far that it will get scratched and ill be stuck with talking pictures that have a big line through them. I liked the g1 on how it was part of the battery back, so if something happen to it i could just get another back. but on the g2 its kinda build it.

So wanted to know if it could be replaced some how.
if im wrong tell me. I'd ratter be correct then live life being mislead.
Phone: t989 s2 ota jelly bean

Other Phone(s): T-mobile G1 < Htc Vision < LG-P999 < T989 , soon to be htc one m7 or samsung s4.

IDK but it looks like a seperate piece to me(camera/flash covers and bezel). It might just pop out if you slip a tiny screwdriver between it and the back case half, or the back case half has to come off first.

I agree completely, I'm wondering if the ZAGG full protection covers that tiny lens glass piece ?? Can anyone confirm because ZAGG has a cover called "Full Body Maximum Coverage for $24.99".

Unless it is a high quality piece of glass, any cheap plastic will affect the quality of the camera images.

Full Body does not. Perhaps the Maximun, but i really doubt it, I believe it's only corners.

While looking for a new screen protector, I found this:

http://www.overlayplus.com/US/MFOP-HTCDesireZ

It has a small screen protector that protects the camera

I ordered the overlay plus sets so I'll let you guys know what I think. But any modern optical device is filled with plastic lens coatings. With the possible exception of these tiny phone cameras, I'd bet the image sensor and primary lens is one piece of plastic.
These cameras suck anyway, if I want a quality image I'll hump my Nikon DSLR around.
BTW it's lens has 5-10 plastic lens coatings in it to control dispersion,reflectivity,etc.
