Does the case prevent the camera lens from touching surfaces?

It does not cover the camera lens. This case is thin, so the lens protrudes a little. However, the design of this phone does that the phone rests in a slightly tilted position. The glass never touches the surface of the table.

Nope. If you lay the phone on the camera side, your camera lens will touch the surface.

There is no clear covering over the camera lens like the screen has (not sure you would want it either) but the case encircles the lens so it is recessed back 2/16"+. Enough to shield from a glancing blow but not from a direct hit unless object is too large to fit in recess.

The case covers all the corners and edges, but not the face. There are openings in the back to accommodate the camera lens and buttons.

The way the case is designed the lens is not covered but protected because it is recessed. When the case is flat on surface the lens is not coming in contact with anything.

It will not protect the lens as the screen protector has a cut out for the lens to prevent unclarity when taking photos. The screen protector will protect the back of the product from scratches.

Dawn, my case had a recess that allowed the ring to be placed as close as possible to the lens. Even at that I had problems with lens flare which washed out about half the image, so I'm not sure it'll behave differently on your case. Hope this helps.Ron

Yes it does. It slides over the lens when the camera is not in use or when you shut it off.

No it does not cover the lense but it covers the volume and power buttons. The back of the case is elevated so when you set the phone down the camera lense isn't touching whatever surface it's on. Hope that helps!

No, there's an opening on the back for the camera lens. That's one of the reasons I like this case.

Yes. It covers the lens completely and can close as well. And when you don't want the flap on you can even take it completely off and use the rest of the case on the camera as well and you can even use the camera with its case on!

From what I can tell the outer covering is not the lens, but rather a UV filter of some sort. The lens itself is far behind the outer covering. So the lens is protected by default. I don't know the camera (yet) but I have been researching it a great deal and am knowledgeable about cameras.

No, it has a very defined cutout for the lens and flash. I have not had any problems taking pictures with this case.

No but the lens is recessed in the case by about 2 millimetres. Shouldn't interfere with the optical image stabilization that way

I have no issues at all with my lense, the case is thin, but the lense never touches the surface it is sitting on. The case is a little smoother than others Ive used, which equates to being a little harder to grip, but it was very easy for me to get used to. I remain very happy with this case.

Thanks for all the responses. For what it's worth, I'm experimenting placing the camera sideways in the case with the camera handle facing up. I'm using one of the velcro straps, parallel to, and raised a bit from, the bottom to keep the lens from resting on the bottom from the case.

There is no cover over the camera lens opening, however, the way the case is constructed keeps the camera lens recessed and out of "harms" way.

Yes, the case is raised so when you lay it on it's back the case is touching the surface not the camera.
