dumb question asked too late for Pro 1x

[hling 8]

What does everyone do with protecting their Pro 1x?  My immediate question is actually, " how does one get their camera lens cover replaced..." because stupidly I dropped my phone twice in a day, and did not realize until the next day that the camera lens had cracked and a piece is actually gone (after I tried to tape over it, the tape lifted it off).  So, as I felt really stupid for dropping the phone, I thought that if I HAD a protective case It might have been less damages done, but that I didn't have a case because it's a tricky phone for a case unless i had the skill to make one myself.

Tips on either one of the questions would be much appreciated.

If you want i can maybe sent you camera glass - but from Pro1 (notX) - so for double camera....but it is not problem i mean.

...if you want it then write me please tomorrow PM.

 

BTW for protect camera glass buy tempered protection glass from ali - search for redmi note 7

I've 3d printed the hard case and glued it to a somewhat correct size leather case.

There was a topic here somewhere that has a list of leather cases that fit the Pro1x dimension wise, though none just fit without tinkering with the case a bit.

Thank you for your reply and the kind offer!  I ordered the Redmi Note 7 camera glass just now.  I was guessing on the glass , perhaps Samsung A10? But now I will get the Redmi note 7 glass.

I was looking online, and guesstimating.  There was a Moxee M2160 that looked similar, except for the charging connector being on the back of the case instead of at the bottom of the case.  I might try to get a wallet case for that phone and see how close i get.

Thank you for your reply!

Just wanted to follow up with my camera lens cover repair in case anyone else need the info.  I used a heat gun to loosen the glue. It was just a few seconds and I was able to ply out the glass with a dental sharp tool. I was careful not to scratch the camera lens itself. Cleaned the residual glue with rubbing alcohol and Q tips.  Once again thanks to CornholioGSM's tip on the Redmi Note 7 glass I ordered it.  It was the exact size, except that I had to install it upside down (the writing will be upside down) so the larger opening is on top. 

Nice not to have  halos in my pictures. Thanks again, everyone!
