Q10 camera lens cover replacement

My camera lens cover was scratched/scuffed up so bad it was having trouble focusing up close and generally took poor pics. So I ordered a new one online.

However I made the mistake of not using the correct screw driver at first!!!! These little torx T3 screws strip easy!! So I had to take a mini flat head driver at an angle with some good pressure and got them out.

It works like new again! This is my work phone on the farm and gets abused and dirty daily. Was thinking if I stuck a little piece of plastic screen protector over the new lens cover. Anyone try this would it effect anything? You can see how rough the old on looks there.

Wow, how did you manage to scratch it up that much in the first place ?!

Forgive my typos, I don't look when I type

The amount of spare parts available for Q10s on the market is phenomenal.

I have an Otter Box on the phone and wear a durable nylon holster on my belt. But still it gets dusty dirty and sometimes grease smeared on it! I also have a Z30 I bought used as a spare but I'm afraid to use it for work. The big display on the z30 is way better to use of course but I'm way faster typing still on the Q10. Hard to give up that little functional phone.
