Seen some on ebay for $1-5. They cover just the lens. Past phones notice scratches on lens at the end of life. Guess wouldn't hurt to have one. Just curious if anybody ever used them before? Ordered one myself just now.
Anyone try Lens Screen Protector?

Yes, I've got a cheap one from AliExpress. In fact it was a pack of 5.
The problem I found with them is that the flash interferes with the camera when the protector is applied, and you get a washed out picture. I fixed this by trimming the protector so it doesn't cover the flash. That means that the flash isn't protected, but it isn't the end of the world if that area gets scratched.

I got a two pack off ebay, haven't noticed any issues with my picture quality and stuff. Though I don't think I've used flash yet so not sure if that's an issue.
Supposedly the one I am getting doesn't have that problem. Probably a lie and will probably have to do what you did. I am lil worried with it and cases. Did it fit fine with whatever you have? I have tech 21 hopefully fits fine.
Same question to you as above. Cases fit fine with them these lens protectors on?
I can't imagine them interfering with cases - mine is very thin, and only sits on the inner glass itself, and not the surrounding frame. No case will come close to touching it, in my opinion.
In case I do have to cut like you. Was it easy to do? Is it noticeable you cut it?
It fit fine for all my cases (Spigen Ultra Hybrid, Supacase Unicorn Beetle and Poetic Nubuck). Even a cheap chinese one from ebay that had a split cut out for the camera/flash and fingerprint holes.

Yeah, easy. Just used scissors. The only reason you can tell is that the corners aren't rounded where I cut.
Going to follow suite. Will trace around with paper and pencil for better cut. Thanks for heads bro!
In what way? Seems like different material in a lot of them. What did everyone here get material wise? Temper glass here.

Tempered glass. you're putting a piece of cheap uncoated glass on top of it...
I wish there was one for the fingerprint scanner. That things is delicate as fudge to scratches!!!
Don't forget horrible position. One of the very few things Samsung did wrong on this phone.
I am right handed but hold phone on muy left hand. Sensor works great for me.
I have tiny girly handa and I can unlock it with 1 hand no problem
Picture Quality
I've posted a couple pictures I took last month if you guys want to check it out for any degradation just because I don't have the best eyes to really tell if there is a difference. At the same time I'm pretty rubbish at taking photos.
