Bummer.....my glass over the back camera is cracked. I did not drop the phone. My only guess is that I had it in my pocket and maybe caused by keys pressing up against it. Not affecting photos as far as I can tell so not sure if its worth fixing.

Ouch that sucks. My right pocket is my dedicated phone pocket. Nothing else goes into that pocket so that way the phone can't push or brush up against anything.

Just noticed that it affects my wide angle camera..... I'm bummed
I'm going to buy the V20 but now I don't know whether to get this fixed or sell it as is. The part is cheap but don't know if I'm confident enough to take this apart.

Found an easy repair solution to this common problem and it does not require opening up the phone. You can buy the glass on Amazon or eBay and simply pry out the old one and any old adhesive and pieces of glass if any. The replacement has the adhesive attached and you just press it into place.
