I know it says "scratch resistant". But, if the camera goes in and out from its case often, won't the surface get scratched a bit?

I have used lens filter for around 6 months while taking it in and out of Sony's leather case and a separate sports case, and I have used my t-shirt to clean the lens and I haven't seen any scratches on it yet.

I've had my camera in and out of the case many times and the lens is still crystal clear. I think it would take a bit of abuse, other than a camera case, to scratch this lens. Very tough and great protection.

I also have put my RX100 in and out of a case with no ill effect. However, I have sewn a small bag for it out of lens cloth sold on amazon, and now put the camera into this before slipping into the case. It slides in easier, and I think is less abuse to the camera. Also I occasionally have the camera in my pocket with only this lens cloth bag.

Mine has been in and out of its case hundreds of times and there are no signs of any scratches. You would have to rub it really hard against something abrasive to damage it, certainly not the inner lining of a camera case. Bottom line, if you do manage to scratch it, can you can always replace it - not too sure about replacing a lens!

It hasn't scratched mine, although I do have a screen protector. But there aren't any scuffs on it. Nothing really sticks up that would scratch it.

Not at all. I use mine a lot, and I've noticed no scratches on the controller.

It's never been an issue for me. When the camera's at rest on the strap, gravity keeps the camera down and thus no scratching, likewise when you're holding the camera, gravity keeps the clip down. I suppose the clip might rub against the camera when you're holding the camera sideways for portraits, but there's no real force being applied to the clip and scratching's never happened. I know where your concerns are coming from though: those reviews of people vigorously rubbing the clip against the camera...but this never happens in real life--at least in my experience.

I haven't had any issues with scratching, however, the metal the phone is made of may be very delicate leading 2 scratches.

Not at all, really. Maybe a little bit if you push on one of the top corners, because of the extra protection around the camera. Mine is still very flat though, even after months of rough use and being dropped.

I have only had my case for a short time so I only have a limited experience but I don't see this to be a problem. If you handle the disc properly. Any scratches would result from you mishandling the disc, not the storage device.

Not at all. It fits tight around the trigger housing by compression, so it has no ability to scratch.

I use the case all the time unless I'm using the camera handle/battery (which is awesome!). I've never had a focusing problem with the case; I never use any film over the screen- the Gorilla Glass 3 is incredible and doesn't scratch easily.

I've never had a problem & this is the 3rd lumix I've owned...I do keep it in a case as I got dust in the lens(of the 1st one) I was told it's always a good idea even if it's in a slip case.

It doesn't effect the camera at all. I used mine with no problem and it's a great case too!

The case itself has a hole for the camera and speaker. The front however does not have a clear cover for the screen. It does stick out enough that the screen won't touch any flat surface when laid down on its face. It could only get scratched up if you were to drop it on rocks or gravel. If the phone actually drops this case will protect it from the impact. I dropped mine from a ladder the other day while I was painting a house and landed on concrete. Did not hurt my phone or case.

It will probably depend on how large or noticeable the scratches are. The case is translucent, so a really big scratch might show, but I don't think little ones would.

no it doesn't my camera is all scratched because this cover doesn't protect it.

The camera area is uncovered, but it is et back into the case to avoid scratches. I was worried as well, but I've had mine for 3 months, multiple falls happened, and still no camera scratches. This is a great protective case. I recommend it!

Yes, yes and no scratches were on the camera. Works great and takes nice shots. Mine was from Amazon and not 3rd party.

There is nothing covering the camera. The upside is that the sensor under the camera can still be used because of this. The case does give it limited fall & scratch protection from the additional thickness that envelops the area around it.
