Just decided to share what I did to obtain a simple rubber bumper (because it is seems all of the case manufacturers can't).
It is a shame such beautiful phone back to sit behind a case cover.

So here it is, the case I used, the parts which must be cut(4 of them) and how it look. By my opinion it is usable, and does not look like a "ghetto" case.

hi. do you think having tempered glass on the back will take care of camera lens? Any tip to take care of lens camera? I can see on the reviews that it can easily be scratched

By my opinion it depends from what you want it protected. It will not help against a pocket with sand for sure. But if you use a case or a tempered glass protector, this will lift up entire back of the phone, which will protect the lens glass for sure.

For example my first back tempered glass protector cracked next to the cam lens, and I found this is because of a damage from unknown for me object (probably my car key and a pressure from my jeans pocket because the scar is similar like the key metal part). So here it is seems the glass protector saved the cam lens from damage, but I doubt it will help much in case of direct hit.

How did you remove the back? And can you give a link for the case to buy please but not an eBay one ☺
