Symptoms
- Crack or shatter on the raised camera bump glass
- Individual lenses underneath may look fine
- Camera bump edge may feel sharp
Likely causes
- CommonDirect impact on the raised camera bump during a dropBecause the bump sticks out, it's usually the first point of contact when a phone lands on its back.
What to do
- Cover any sharp edges with tape to avoid cutting yourself or your bag.
- Check if any individual camera lens (not just the cover glass) is also cracked — that's a separate concern.
- Avoid setting the phone camera-side down on hard surfaces until repaired.
- Add a case with a raised camera bump lip to prevent this from happening again.
- Get the camera bump glass replaced at a repair shop, since this is a distinct part from the main lens covers on many models.

When to call a pro
A repair shop can usually swap just the camera bump glass without replacing the whole camera module.
