Apple should clarify the iPhone users with some tips, Do's and Don'ts regarding how to keep iPhones escpecially double and triple camera phones on the desk, table and different surfaces. Also, need guidelines on whether phone should rest on the backside or frontside. Keeping it on backside gives a fear of scratches on camera lenses. Expert advice and opinions are welcome.
I would say that the best answer to your questions depends on if you use a phone case, and if so- what kind of case is on the phone. The only fool proof way to guarantee protection of the camera lenses is a case that slides over the cameras and is totally covered. I bought an overpriced phone case at the Verizon store and you bet a few months later I managed to drop my phone at the angle that was in just the right position to smack one of the cameras and shattered it. A raised edge around the camera lenses doesn’t protect the lenses from a situation like mine. I dropped my phone on concrete by the way and managed to get the angle just right to ruin one of the lenses. I do not recommend any kind of camera lense cover that I’ve seen before (similar to the screen protectors you can stick on your phone screen- for starters, anything (even a clear protector- can and will mess up the quality of your photos and the ability for the lenses to focus like they’re designed to do! And last but not least, screen protectors of any Kind have never truly protected any of my phones. Hope that helps! Oh and if you’re brave and talented enough to not have a case on your phone, I would recommend placing your phone face down. A damaged screen is replaceable through apple, but from my experience, a camera lense that gets replaced never works as good as it did before being damaged. I would purchase an entirely brand new phone before getting a camera lense replaced. I had it done by Apple and the technician told me they can’t guarantee that the camera lense is going to ever focus the way it’s supposed to! Moral of the story- purchase the monthly phone insurance if your phone service carrier provides it! And or continue paying for Apple Care coverage!
