Phone Camera Protector

thingiverse

THIS REQUIRES ASSEMBLY\r\n\r\nThis should significantly reduce the risk of your camera lens getting smudged when taking a picture. It does not impact the time it takes to be ready for snapping a photo, and you can easily open it with your thumb while pulling out your phone.\r\n\r\nI use double-sided adhesive (cut with an X-Acto knife) to secure it on the phone once the parts are carefully assembled, ensuring that the slider is not glued as well. *Only* install this after installing a shatter-protection screen. Gluing directly to the touchscreen would be a mistake. I apply a little superglue evenly around the outside edges to further secure the protector to the phone's shatter-protection screen. Once secured, it looks fine from a distance.\r\n\r\nYou will need to double-check measurements to ensure that it does not cover up the flash or sensors. Positioning the front protector requires precision, and printing it slightly scaled down on the Z axis can be beneficial if possible.\r\n\r\nThis is an ongoing project. I'm offering it for download for anyone who wants to try it out. My goal is to sell them in the future, but the design still needs improvement. The gluing process is tedious, and it would be great if the parts could slide or snap into place -- however, friction-only works fine as is. I'd love to hear about any modifications you make to this design.
