HI, Based on the previous post, I did the ultimate repair to my scratched camera cover (plastic cover), First i removed the metal cover, poped out the spring, removed the blue( offending slider) then removed the frame and the plastic cover which is scratched, i used plastic scratch remover with a buffing wheel ( small one) which removed the scratches( like new now) , before closing the assembly I isolated the flash cover with black marker from the sides, I used sand paper to reduce the thickness of the blue slider, i but the cover assembly as before, now I have a clean cover and a slider which will not scratch it again+ isolation of the flash cover from the lens cover, and the result is marvelous.

My slider doesn’t touch my lense, if you slide it back and have a look, yours shouldn’t either.
I have found that where the issue lies is if you are pushing down too hard on the slider when you close it again, as this does press it and any debris down onto the glass causing the scrathes.
So the theory is, just be gentle when you are closing the lense. I just flick mine across with my nail.

Nokia needs to step up their game, this the second flagship device which has moronic issues. Only a hardcore Nokia fan would put with with having to file the lens cover on his/her $700 device. Seriously, no one noticed the issues with that even though they had working prototypes since Nokia World 2008? And people wonder why they are losing market share (I know they are still well ahead of everyone else).
