Replacing the camera lens cover on a Samsung Galaxy S5

 
When the camera lens cover shattered on my daughters phone, I figured I could fix it.
 
Remove the rear cover of the phone.
Remove the metal ring that holds the lens cover in place.
 


The glass/plastic cover was completely shattered so I had to make sure no broken pieces fell on to the camera


After removing the debris ...


Make sure that the phone is well protected from moisture and dust
by taping up with a temporary cover till you get a new lens cover.
 
Ordered a new replacement lens cover and bezel ... 
 

... which arrived in the mail in less than five days,
and cost me less than $8/- delivered at home!


Replaced the parts


 
 
All fixed and ready to take photos again!

 
From a design perspective, I don't like how the camera lens cover projects out on the Samsung.
This makes it easily prone to damage.
 
Which is why I prefer my Sony Z1
