I seem to have a nasty scratch on my hd lens. The small piece of plastic comes off fairly easily and is only stuck on with some sort of adhesive.
Does anyone know where I can get a replacment cover, or know of any specific materials and adhesive which I could fix on myslef???

the lens on my back cover cracked when dropped a while back, and to get a good photo i now have to remove the back cover to get the obstruction off... is there anything i can buy short of a whole new back cover? all i need is a sticky piece of glass like the one that comes on the original cover...
thanks!
Why don't you just take a piece of plastic and work on it with sandpaper? You could even use some cd jewel case. The material is usually fragile but if you make a cut on its surface with a sharp knife it will tend to brake along this line. So it's fairly easy to break it down to a rectangular shape roughly the size of the camera cover and work with sandpaper or a file until you have a proper shape. Putting some sticky paper cut to shape of the cover on the plastic (preferably on both sides) will help in achieving the proper shape and will protect the surface from scratching.
Just look around the hose and be creative - i'm sure you'll be able to find a piece of clear, non-scratched plastic somewhere If you feel that the cd-case plastic will be too soft and will scratch too easily you could apply a piece of screen protector to it. It sure isn't worth buying a new screen protector just for that but if you already have one on your phone you could use a piece of it to protect camera cover and get a new one for the screen
As for attaching the cover to g1 back cover, there are many ways ranging from glues to double-sided sticky tapes. Use whatever you have at your disposal (just stay away from cyanoacrylate adhesive aka super glue - its vapor will ruin the transparent plastic).
a new back cover is cheap, like $6.

what is your phone model? Different phones have different camera lens with varied shape. A camera lens can not be just replaced by a plastic stuff as the guy said above and it is a prttey tough thing to shape the plastic. an original camera lens does not much. It may be no more than $1。
Hi!
I'm currently using a Z5 Compact with one Slim TPU cover (Orzly Flexi-Slim Case). But I'd like to stop using a case.
The only thing that worries me is the camera, which is bit exposed.
If the camera was scratched by laying the phone at a desk surface, I'd like to know if it's possible to recover it replacing only the back cover.
Does somebody know if the back cover also includes the "glass" area of the camera? (I assume that it is possible to repair this on a Sony store or something like that, without loosing the warranty, right? Paying money)
thanks and best regards,
Sebastian.
So you're thinking of using the Z5C with a naked back, then?
The camera lens is not part of the main glass back of the phone. There's a circular cutout in the back that allows the camera lens to poke through. (The flash lens, however, is part of the glass back).
That said, the camera lens has a little silver-coloured ring around it, and the lens itself is set back. When you have the phone sitting on a desk, the lens will be raised above the surface slightly. Unless you regularly set the phone down on sandy/dirty surfaces, it'll probably be ok.
If you're really worried, you might want to look into getting a tempered/hardened glass back protector. That'll raise the camera a bit further off the desk without making the phone much thicker.
FYI, the camera lens cover is made of plastic, so you should definitely try not to scratch it. I personally use a dbrand skin, so it's slightly raised above the ground.

No wonder my outer lens gets so easily scratched. I have these mystery blemishes even with a case on... luckily the blemishes are located away from the camera lens itself. So is replacing the entire back the only solution to replace this "plastic" lens covering?

Hi, I just replaced the back for a new one (fully assembled). The problem is that dust enters the main camera (just the main camera, not the wide angle camera). I guess it's a bad assembly of the rear glass.. It's not sealed.
My question is what to do with it? I guess I can put glue on the outside to seal it but it will look ugly. It will work, but will look ugly. I think the dust enters from the side on the flash/laser module.
Any recommendations?
Sounds like a bad assembly, yes.
What I would do if I were you is to open the phone up (ifixit has a nice, comprehensive guide to teardown), clean the camera and the glass that covers it on the inside, and either glue it or use some 2mm 3M double sided tape around the edges of the glass inside. You could even leave the back paper covering the double-sided tape (making it well.. single sided). Glue may be too "permanent" a solution.
Get yourself an air duster (compressed air in a can), some 2mm 3M double-sided tape (I like that one the best and it's cheap), a set of precision screwdrivers and a plastic prying tool (if you don't wanna buy one, improvise with anything that can do the trick, so long as it's plastic. Metal can break parts very easily).
I don't know how these came up on camera I haven't put my phone in a pocket with keys,coins or a rough surface don't know what it is either some marks or scratches it's like a coating that's wearing off or damaged is there a way to fix this?
*below are the pictures of those marks on camera lens.

Two things to check:
1. Make sure there is no film protecting the lens. One person I know had a fine protective film over the lens, and they didn't notice it until moisture seeped in and the case was the same as yours. Finally they discovered and peeled off the film and the problem was gone.
2. If there is no such film, it may be possible that moisture seeped into the space between the glass and the lens. In that case, there is hardly anything you can do other than taking your phone to a service centre.
In short, this doesn't look like a scratch to me.
