Apple iPhone 11 Pro Max Cameras: Protruding Lens Design Captures Crud, Risks Scratching

I just got the iPhone 11 Pro Max with AppleCare, and I will soon evaluate raw image quality with the three cameras.

The iPhone 7 Plus has two cameras, and they protrude, but with a high quality ballistic rubber case on the phone they were reasonably well protected.

Without a case however, the exposed lenses on the iPhone 11 Pro Max concern me as to scratches or just crud. Perhaps the lens surfaces are sapphire glass, or so I hope.

So it looks like I’ll need to buy some case for the phone, one whose primary function (protecting the phone when dropped) will likely disappoint.

Few if any cases are likely to protect my phone like the NewerTech NuGuard KX case with its ballistic rubber. Sadly, it is not being made for the iPhone 11—and that NuGuard KX case saved all my iPhones many times on concrete and hard floors.
