galaxy s5 camera lens cracked

Could it possibly be that cases are putting pressure on the lens?

Because not only are there reports that the otter box on the HTC m8 is putting pressure on the camera but same thing with the s5 and Otter box. Sounds like its the design of the case causing stress fractures

That is a downside to the way the S5 was designed....having the camera lens protruding out like it does.
So I am curious, my brother and his girlfriend got an S5 each on the same day that my lens cover broke and theirs are just fine. My model is a black one and theirs are the white versions. So I guess what I am asking are if the lens is breaking on the white bodied ones as well or just the black models?
They have always been protruding since the s2. Even the htc Evo had it protruding

I wasn't aware of that. The S5 is my first Samsung phone. So is the camera lens getting damaged fairly common with the S series?
Those who has broken lens does any of you use a case that pushes lense in. My spigen tough armor indents the lense like half a cm. So it doesn't touch a table when I set it down
I have a white one and this happened to me yesterday, I called Samsung and they said no one else has had this problem, and i also have a case on it and never have drop it. they said $70 to fix it. So I dont now what i should do.
I removed the camera lens from my midframe replacement and found it's not an easy task, but not point to remove but install. Not only need an original camera lens, if you want to keep it waterproof, also need some adhesive felt pad and sticker. I will show the pictures.
First, i removed the camera lens ring
Then found there are two kind of adhesive, outer one is transparent, the other inner one is black.
That's the adhesive felt pad with strong adhesive, but i had removed almost, you can imagine that that place full of black adhesive felt pad except the center.
And now can see the real face of the camera lens. You can see that the edges of black paint had been damaged by tweezers when pry the lens.
For now, the market doesn't have all the adhesive for replacing camera lens, so once you broken the camera lens, either send to Samsung or wait until you can find all the adhesive.

Same thing happened to me. My Galaxy S5 was in my pocket and I pull it out to find the back camera lens cracked!? This is definitely a design flaw!
Everyone needs to call Samsung and complain about it. They keep telling me no one else has had this problem. We shouldn't have to pay $70.00 to get it fix every time it cracks.
