I've left the stock covering on to protect the camera. Is there something out there to protect the camera and still be able to take good pics? I've left the protective covering on that came with the phone but it makes the photos less quality.

I'd like to know this too, because somehow I've got a scratch on the camera AND a small one on the screen as well, and I've been so damn careful with this phone 
And someone comes along with a video on how hard it is to scratch the screen...shoot, AIR scratches mine, it seems...
And someone comes along with a video on how hard it is to scratch the screen...shoot, AIR scratches mine, it seems...I have the silicone case on mine from Sprint. It adds enough depth to the back of the phone to make the camera lens recessed.

LOL! Air scratching! Are you trying to be a DJ or something? hehehehe!
I bought the silicone case first at one Sprint store b/c they didn't have the bodyglove. I went to another Sprint store on Saturday and found the bodyglove. With the bodyglove, it doesn't look like it's protecting the camera.
Funny thing is I HAVE one of those cases that recesses the camera, so I'm not sure if the inside of my pocket is scratching it or what, and there's nothing else in there.

If you guys have scratches in the lens already, I highly recommend you look on Google for how to fix scratches on CDs with toothpaste. Worked wonders for me on just about everything.
Sent from my HTC Evo 4G.

It's not affecting my pictures, but I'll definitely look it up anyway. I wonder how that'd work for the front screen?
Take a screen protector and cut a small square out about 1/4 inch more on each side of the camera. take off you back cover so you don't scratch it.
Apply the protector on the lens..then with a brand new razor blade.use the edge of the metal camera trim and cut it around.
It took me about 2 tries but if you look at the lens..you cannot tell it's there.
Simple and works GREAT!

I tried this and it doesn't work. The auto focus for the camera is severely thrown off when you put something over the lens. The result: terribly out of focus photos.

You are aware that the plastic piece that says "8.0 MEGAPIXELS" is a piece of plastic that protects the lens and not actually part of the lens, right? So adding some sort of protector for it is redundant and will disrupt the camera more than any little scratches.
As long as that piece of plastic doesn't have any giant gouges, minor scratches should not affect the camera at all.

Put your EVO on a desk. The camera cover/lense does not touch, the ring does. Wish people would pay attention to this stuff before freaking about about it.
Whether or not it's recessed doesn't affect your ability to scratch it, since it's not actually sitting on the cover. Now if you place it on a rough surface, like the dirt, you're gonna get scratches whether or not it's recessed.

No amount of recessing can protect your camera from sunlight burnout of the color gels for the CCD. Film cameras could at most burn one frame of film. A burn of the CCD is once and permanent. Dust and inadvertent sunlight are unavoidable without a lens cover. It is horrid neglect and disrespect of customer to ship such an otherwise fantastic apparatus when it is so simply resolved.
Anyone want to make a mint making O'rings with a shutter lever (or even easier a magnetic cap) for people to superglue over their lens?
Whoa! Take away the magnetic cap idea. BAD BAD BAD! It would destroy the auto focus. Ruin the compass bearing. Use a lever shutter.

Adding a clear protector won't ruin and didn't ruin the autofocus one bit. Just have to make sure the protector you use is a clear one..
It's all good and when a small scratch happens you just cut a new one!
