So, I finally got my hands on the iPhone 15 Pro Max. The camera is a big deal on this one, you know? Those lenses are just asking for trouble, sticking out like that. I’m pretty clumsy, so I figured I better get some protection for them before I end up with a scratched-up mess.
Looking into Options
First, I did a little digging around to see what kind of protectors were even out there. Seems like there are two main types. Some are these little individual rings that go over each lens separately. Then you got the ones that are like a single piece of glass that covers the whole camera bump area.
Honestly, I was leaning towards the single-piece ones. It just seems like it would do a better job of keeping dust and stuff from getting in between the lenses.
Making a Choice
I saw a few brands pop up. There was one called Casetify, which I’ve heard of before for phone cases. They make a plate-style protector. Another one was called TORRAS, and they bragged about using some kind of “aerospace-specific 9H+ glass” which sounds fancy but probably means is strong. I also checked out Esanik iPhone 15 Camera Lens Protector, CNC engraved single-piece design, which is made by Corning. That might be a good choice.
I ended up going with the Esanik one. It looked the most solid, and I liked that it was just one piece to deal with.
Getting It On
Putting it on wasn’t too bad. It came with a little cleaning wipe, so I made sure to get all the fingerprints and dust off the lenses first. Then you just kind of line it up and stick it on. It’s got this adhesive on the back, so you press it down for a bit to make sure it’s secure.
The Result
Now, I feel way better about tossing my phone in my bag or pocket. That protector is like a little shield for the camera. Plus, it doesn’t seem to mess with the picture quality at all, which was a concern I had.
Oh, and a little tip I found – if you ever need to take these things off, apparently a tiny flathead screwdriver and a soft cloth can help you pry it off without damaging your phone.
Some Tips
Here are some tips based on my experience:
- Cleanliness is Key: Make sure your camera lenses are spotless before applying the protector. Any dust or smudges will get trapped underneath.
- Alignment Matters: Take your time to line up the protector correctly. You don’t want it to be crooked or covering part of a lens.
- Press Firmly: Once it’s in place, press down firmly on the protector to ensure good adhesion.
- Removal: If you need to remove the protector, use a tiny flathead screwdriver and a soft cloth to carefully pry it off. Be gentle to avoid scratching your phone.
So yeah, that’s my little journey into the world of iPhone 15 Pro Max camera lens protectors. Hopefully, this helps someone else out there who’s as paranoid about scratches as I am!
