Does my iPhone 11 pro need a case to protect it? mostly regarding the camera

Hi, I have a new iPhone 11 pro and I am currently not using a cover/case. Do I need one to protect the camera? for example placing the phone on a table with the camera lenses touching it, will that scratch the camera or is the camera designed for this?

iPhone 11 Pro, iOS 13

How to Protect iPhone 11 Camera Lenses I will be buying the iPhone 11 soon and I am wondering if I should I get a camera shield/protector? I always have a screen protector on my phone for an extra level of protection so I was wondering if I should do the same for the camera? I've seen various different camera lens shields surfacing and I just want to make the right decision. The two big things I am concerned about with getting a camera shield is that I don't want it to affect the camera quality, and I don't want it to damage the lens(es) if I decide to take it off. But I also don't want to risk dropping my phone without a shield on and breaking/damaging the camera bump or lenses. I imagine it would be quite expensive to have the camera repaired in that case. If you think I should get a camera shield/protector, please leave links to some good quality ones if you know of any. Thank you.

Two quick questions on iPhone 14 Pro I just bought this phone with an Apple MagSafe case and a Belkin screen guard, and wondered about these points: -- With the case and screen guard the phone seems well-protected, but are the camera lenses sufficiently protected as well? Is the clear material covering each of them susceptible to scratches etc? Any tips on avoiding problems with them? -- I gather the circular area on the back of the case is for a MagSafe charger. What about the smaller vertical strip below the circle? Is that for an external battery? Thanks much,

The camera lens is made of glass, so it’s scratch resistant. However you should still get a case just in case.
