How to best protect Camera lens?

[Penecho]

Hi guys, i was wondering how to best protect the Camera of the DHD? Since its "looking out" of the device...

I planned to just put it in the pockets of my Jeans without any protection, but i figured that the camera lens might be damaged eventually?

So what can i do to protect the lens from beeing damaged??

i found the best way to stop it getting scratch was to get a pair of pliers and pull the lens from the housing. I dont worry about the lens getting scratched any more when i put the phone in my pocket becuase the lens is in my drawer at home

it had a detrimental effect on image quality, but it was worth it

You may as well buy a safekeep , store the phone in it , lock the damn box and never care again.
That would beat your method hands down

Hehe yeah well, i used all my phones without any protection, but im kind of worried that it will brakeaway somehow...

With the HD2 i had at least the leather thingy that came with it.

The HD2 leather bag should fit your DHD too (tried it with my dad's)

I use the HD2's leather pouch to carry around the DHD. fits perfectly.

maybe get a screen protector and cut a piece to fit the lens ??

get an otterbox defender it has a protective plastic on the lens cutout

The defender is a great case but way to heavy and bulky for a normal person. A piece of a screenprotector should offer enough protection.

Or otterbox commuter+ piece of a screenprotector

Some screen protectors come with an extra piece for the camera lens.

The Martin Fields Overlay Plus for example.

tbh, all the same I am not sure if the piece of plastic/glass which covers the lens will ever get noticeably damaged.

Previous experience with an Xperia X1 (built by HTC, for what it's worth), without protecting the "lens", I had no problems whatsoever with damage there.

I purchased the Martin Fields protector and it came with a front cover as well as a camera cover. It doesn't seem to have any detrimental effect to the image quality and I feel more comfortable with it on. Only downside is that it's a pretty expensive screen protector D=
