The most important part of iPhone X is the high-tech dual camera that takes stunning, vibrant photos with rich colors and contrast. Should I worry about the safety of the lenses when they are under sapphire crystal? We advise you to protect the rear camera of your device from scratches on the surface in advance. A protective glass for the camera for iPhone X from Benks, which you can buy from us in our online store, will help us with this. Use the table of contents to read the most important review information as quickly as possible.
Protective glass packaging for iPhone X camera
Benks packs glass in a traditional small-sized box. At the top of the box there is a cutout that allows you to place the product in the store window in the most convenient way. The front side shows the main properties of the protective cover for the camera, which we will look at a little later. There is a green sticker in the upper right corner: “Designed for iPhone X.”
Let's look at the back of the package. Here you can find detailed information about the company, as well as stickers with the product number and security code, which is located under the erasable tape. At the top of the package there is a tear-off tape that allows you to open the package quite quickly without using a stationery knife.
If you bought a protective glass for your iPhone 10 camera in third-party stores, we advise you to verify the authenticity of the product by sending the security code to our email: This email address is being protected from spambots.

Glass components for the iPhone X KR+ series camera
The delivery package is quite simple:
Wet wipe, 1 piece (No. 1 in the photo)
Microfiber, 1 piece (No. 2)
Glass on a black backing, 1 piece (No. 3)
Stickers, 2 pcs (not shown in the photo)
If you compare the camera glass package for iPhone X with previous models, you will notice a number of distinctive features. First of all, Benks stopped supplying glass with tweezers, which for many greatly simplified the gluing process. The set includes 1 glass, unlike 2 pieces on the iPhone 7/8 or 7P/8P.
The design of the backing for the protective glass has been changed. Now it is a black platform with the company name. A transport film is glued on top of the glass, which protects the accessory from dust particles and drying of the adhesive layer.
Characteristics
In our opinion, the main advantage of the glass on the iPhone X KR+ series camera is its thickness and increased transparency.
The thickness is only 0.15 mm. This size will allow you to use the gadget with cases whose contour is designed to protect the camera (in height). This glass will not protrude significantly beyond the case, which will have a positive effect on the operation of the smartphone.
Benks claims a glass transparency of 98%. This characteristic is documented by the Swiss company SGS Test Report. Increased light transmission will not interfere with high-quality photographs on the iPhone X camera.
Other advantages include the technology of applying an adhesive layer and making glass “Anti-Scratch”. If tempered glass breaks, it does not crumble into small pieces. Oleophobic coating is present. Fingerprints are no problem.
How to properly glue glass to the back camera of an iPhone X?
To correctly and error-free install the glass on the iPhone X camera, we will use the clear graphic instructions from the manufacturer.
First of all, you should thoroughly clean the camera from dust and dirt. Use microfiber (dry cloth). After cleaning, the surface must be degreased with a damp cloth. Peel off the protective glass from the platform, as shown in photo No. 2 or 2*. Carefully grasp the glass by its side edges and center it on the surface of the iPhone 10 camera.
If you did the installation correctly, the end result will look like the photo below. If the alignment is incorrect, air will form under the protective glass, which will be impossible to remove.
Conclusion
A protective glass on the camera for the iPhone X is an excellent accessory that will prevent scratches and abrasions on the factory sapphire glass of the gadget. With an adequate price/quality ratio, this accessory is one of the most popular among iPhone protectors. Installing it will take a lot of your time. The kit includes the necessary set of tools that will allow you to carry out the gluing process much faster. If you are in doubt about how to glue glass correctly, carefully read our instructions. For beginners, we recommend doing the gluing in the bathroom, after steaming the room.
If you have any questions, we will be happy to answer them in the comments.
Details Benks Created: October 10, 2017 Updated: November 17, 2017To protect the screen of your device, you need to know how to apply protective glass to your phone. It is much more durable, but at the same time flexible.
The film can only protect the display from scratches, and the protective screen also prevents the formation of cracks after the smartphone is dropped.
You should be very careful when purchasing universal glass; it may be of poor quality.
Some tips for choosing:
- There are two types of glass: glossy and matte. The first option is cheaper, however, it can only protect the smartphone display from impacts. Before purchasing, check the strength of the glass; it should not bend too much;
- Frosted glass is more expensive and can protect the phone from shocks, falls, and even glare. The disadvantage of such glass is that the color rendering quality of the smartphone display may deteriorate;
- Good glass should have an oleophobic coating. It prevents the coating from getting dirty with grease;
- It is advisable to buy glass options that include special napkins and spare protective glasses;
- The thicker the glass, the higher its strength and level of protection for the phone during shocks and falls.
Glass gluing process
Follow the instructions to add additional protective glass to your smartphone:
- First of all, clean your work area. Many instructions for gluing glass are silent on this point, however, it is very important to remove all dust from the working surface. It is there even if you don't see it.
- Take a clean rag and glass cleaner. Wipe the surface and wait until it dries. This way you will remove the maximum number of dust particles and there will be less chance of them getting under the protective glass;
- Turn off your smartphone during the entire procedure so that the screen does not turn on during the gluing process;
- Take a damp cleaning cloth and wipe your phone's display thoroughly with it. You can purchase such napkins in the hardware department of any store. Wipes for cleaning glasses are also suitable.
- Then wipe the display with a dry cloth to remove streaks and fingerprints;
- Take a protective screen. Peel off the film on it from the side that will be adjacent to the smartphone display;
- Now position the glass - without touching it, position it over the entire screen area. All steps must be done very quickly;
- Now carefully place the glass so that it perfectly covers the surface of the phone and release it. The protective glass will stick on its own. If you have cleaned the display surface well, air and dust will not appear.
What to do if air gets in? If air bubbles still appear, go over the surface of the protective glass with a napkin, pressing lightly so that they go beyond the limits.
After gluing, turn on the smartphone and check the operation of the sensor.
Important! Many smartphone owners are wondering: is it possible to re-stick the protective glass if it comes off? There may be too many dust particles or air under the screen preventing it from sticking. Carefully peel it off, wipe the smartphone display and repeat the sticker procedure again. Reinstalling on an already clean surface may solve the problem.
How to remove the protective glass?
Removing protective glass is much more difficult than removing film. If you glued it incorrectly, remove it using the tab located on the outside of the protective screen.
In most cases, the need to remove the protective shield occurs after a serious fall. When the screen is broken, the glass must be removed as carefully as possible.
The easiest way is to take a plastic card (for example, a regular bank card) and pry off the edge. Then run the card under the entire surface of the screen, detaching it from the device.
Advice! To make the peeling process easier, stick the phone screen in your palms.
Hello dear forum users. Today I will tell you how to replace a cracked camera glass on a Samsung galaxy s6 in 5 minutes and 130 rubles. Who is interested - please, under the cat...
So, we have a Samsung galaxy s6 mobile phone in which, despite careful handling, the camera glass has cracked and a lot of dust has accumulated through this crack, which has greatly reduced the quality of the resulting images: 
And here I thought about what to do... There is a video on YouTube on replacement, but in it the glass is replaced directly with the frame, which requires removing the glued back cover of the phone. This is tedious, there is a risk of damaging this very cover, and after replacement, replace the 2-sided adhesive sticker, which separately from the Chinese is quite expensive.
There is no point in turning to the officials for help, because they will tear off 3 skins. The best mobile phone repair shops for less than 1000 rubles. They refused to take on the work, citing the need to remove the cover.
And then I came across instructions for replacing camera glass on ifixit (https://ru.ifixit.com/Guide/Samsung+Galaxy+S6+Camera+Lens+Glass+Replacement/43301), and I was interested in the last step: 
Those. Separately, the glass itself changes a lot.
An order has been placed. What arrived was a little different from what was needed, but more on that below.
Another problem arose: how to pick it out of the frame, because... The glass is not broken, just cracked. It is impossible to pick it up from the side, and breaking it is also not an option, because... there is a risk of damaging the camera, and the stabilization system won’t say “thank you.” And then it dawned on me: 
Yes, yes, this is the same “car 2-sided tape”, expensive and very sticky, that was purchased a long time ago.
We take a fountain pen of a suitable diameter and glue the tape to the end, having previously degreased it with alcohol (99% isopropanol). Cut the tape along the contour: 
Next, we glue this structure to the glass, which we also degrease: 
Next, tilt the handle and peel off the old glass: 
This is what the seller sent me: 
As you can see, in addition to the glass, there is also a frame itself on which stickers are glued. But the round sticker I needed was not available separately. Of course, it was possible to get confused and cut it out of thin 2-sided tape, but I figured that the remaining adhesive layer on the old frame would be enough to hold the new glass.
Next, use a soft brush to remove all the dust from the camera (a can of compressed air would be very useful), glue on the new glass, and just to be sure, heat everything up with a hairdryer to make it stick better. 
I was very pleased with the result! The glass does not feel plastic to the touch; it also has an oleophobic coating. The pictures are simply superb: the haze, glare, etc. are gone, which, however, is not surprising.
We also ordered protective glass for the camera and heart rate sensor from another seller: 
I stuck it on the pulse oximeter right away, because... It is plastic and has minor scratches. I might stick it on the camera glass in the future, so far so good.
I hope the review was helpful. Merry Christmas everyone!
I think it's time to dispel another myth, in particular the one that extols the usefulness of the protective filter. In my personal opinion, if there is an accessory in the photographic world that is completely useless in daily use, it is a protective filter.
Where did the legend about the need to fanatically protect the front lens come from? I think it comes from the same place as the others - from the insatiable need of producers and sellers to earn more money from photographers. Go to any store and look at what they “load” with a person who bought their first DSLR - there will definitely be a protective filter there. Well, or ultraviolet, whatever you can find in the store.
In fact, the front lens, even with moderately careful use of the lens, does not need additional protection at all! All you have to do is wear a lens hood, and the front element of your lens will already be completely protected from almost all dangers.
In addition, it has been reliably known for many years that the rear lens of the lens is much more important for the formation of the image, and dirt, scratches, and even chips on the front lens often do not cause any noticeable harm to the image. Those who disagree with this statement simply did not see this experiment, in which a person tried his best to degrade the image produced by the lens by deliberately damaging its front lens. To achieve his goal, he had to try very hard.
And those who do not believe in the veracity of this experience can repeat it themselves with a soft version, in which you don’t even have to break the lens with a hammer. You just need to attach an ordinary match to the front lens, set the maximum focal length, and photograph the view from your window at a medium aperture, about 5.6. Then take the same shot, at the same aperture, but without a match. When comparing these two images, you will hardly notice the difference. If you are interested in the question of why this happens, then you just need to look at the optical design of the Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L zoom lens:
And it immediately becomes clear how long the light rays travel before they form an image on the matrix. The number of refractive surfaces is in the dozens, and the front lens in this series, although the very first, is far from the most important.
As a result, we will be forced to admit that even if a whole match glued to the front lens does not have any effect on the image, then a couple of dust particles can definitely be neglected.
We've sorted out the need to protect the front lens from dust, now let's talk about protecting the front lens from impact loads.
You can often hear the opinion that a filter protects the lens from impacts; examples are even given of cases where “the filter is in pieces, but the lens is intact!”
Here I can remember only one example, equally asymmetrical in meaning, an old joke about a man who praised the high quality of Soviet galoshes, and told about Vaska, who jumped from the roof in these galoshes: “Vaska died, but the galoshes are intact!”
Let's imagine an impact strong enough to break a fairly thick front lens element housed in a massive metal frame. Introduced? Now let’s imagine in the path of this blow a piece of millimeter-thick glass in a flimsy frame. Introduced? Now imagine how a piece of glass stops this blow. Introduced? Did you laugh? Then let's continue seriously: not a single filter is able to protect the lens from a strong impact. No one! As a result of any more or less serious impact, all that will remain from the filter is a bunch of glass chips and a frame with fragments. The pieces of glass will need to be shaken out and the fragments removed from the frame. That's all the action of the protective filter.
So what to do?! How to protect yourself from accidental blows? Here again I can advise you to always wear a hood. Any plastic lens hood protects the front lens from impacts a thousand times more effectively than a filter. And moreover, in the case when the lens is properly designed, for example, like the same Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L of the first version, (and not the idiotic second version) its lens hood is attached directly to the body, and protects not only the front lens, and also a retractable part of the lens.
In addition, a hood never degrades image quality, but a filter always does. Of course, maybe if you buy a very, very expensive filter, the drop in picture quality will not be so noticeable, but show me someone who is ready to make such sacrifices?
Among the purposes of a protective light filter, one more thing is worth mentioning; its adherents often say that the light filter is “not a pity.” That is, if it gets dirty, you don’t mind rubbing it; if it gets scratched, you can replace it. I don’t know, it seems to me that modern anti-reflective coatings are generally very difficult to damage unless you try hard. Personally, I always rub my lenses with whatever I have to, and nothing happens. And some lenses I’ve been using for ten years!
Conclusion
So should we conclude that the protective filter is absolutely and always useless? Not certainly in that way. Personally, I can think of at least one subject where a protective filter is truly absolutely necessary: cutting metal. The fact is that hot metal shavings, which can only slightly burn exposed areas of the skin, upon contact with the glass, immediately melt into it and remain there forever.
In all other cases, there is absolutely no need to protect the front element of the lens, unless you are very concerned about the presentation of your lens, and intend to sell it later as new, or as “from the date of purchase under a filter.”
And indeed, novice photographers are very susceptible to such phrases, because they are the ones who have access to secret knowledge: a high-quality photograph can only be taken with an impeccably clean lens! Such a photographer has a Lenspen in every pocket, and in his bag there is also a special cloth, just in case.
When he takes bad photos, he realizes that the reason is a dirty lens, and begins to wipe the protective filter not before shooting, but before each frame. He knows that once he achieves the required level of purity, beautiful pictures will follow. And he fanatically monitors cleanliness, the smallest speck of dust on the surface of the filter horrifies him, and when he sees a scratch on the front lens of his lens, he immediately faints and falls to the ground, picturesquely scattering his arms and legs to the sides.
P.S. For a hell of a lot of years photographing anything, often in not the most comfortable conditions, I never used protective filters. There are a couple of small scratches on the front lens of my 70-200, and one larger one (a billiard ball once rolled into my lens hood). These scratches do not affect the quality of the pictures in any way, and when I see them, I am not upset, this lens is still too shabby for me to dream of selling it as a new one.
On the last trip, due to unsuccessful braking, one of our cameras left the back seat and went on an unsuccessful flight: (the result was a broken protective glass of the LCD display.
The first impulse was to take it to the service center, and the second impulse was to study the topic and try to replace it myself. The task turned out to take 10 minutes and all the efforts were not worth even a tenth of the effort spent on visiting the service.
1. Subject - Canon 450D
2. First of all, we order a repair kit on Ebay or somewhere else. It consists of the glass itself and double-sided thin and very sticky tape. 
3. The most time-consuming part is to carefully break out the remains of the broken glass. To do this, use a hair dryer to heat the glue. Carefully use a knife to pry up the fragments and break them off - the protective glass is actually fragile plastic. 
4. The glass is removed, remove the remains of the old tape and remove dust from the frame. 
5. Glue the new tape directly onto the frame on which it arrived. At this point I also covered the new glass with protective film for LCD displays - I don’t like it when screens are scratched. 
6. Remove the film from the tape and glue in new glass. (film bubbles:)
