Protecting your iPhone 15 Pro or Pro Max’s precious camera lenses is crucial, and the QRG camera lens protector, in Natural Titanium, promises just that. This review delves into my experience with this protector, covering installation, everyday use, and its impact on photo and video quality. After spending several weeks with it, I’m ready to share my honest assessment.

The QRG protector boasts several key features. The most prominent is its construction: a combination of 2023 upgraded aviation-grade metal and 12-layer chemically enhanced sapphire 9H tempered glass. This promises superior drop and scratch protection. The design aims for seamless integration, matching the original camera’s color and offering full single-lens coverage. The included 1-step installation tray is also a welcome addition, simplifying the process considerably. The marketing materials highlight 98% light transmittance and superior color reproduction, claims I put to the test.

Installation was surprisingly smooth thanks to the provided tray. The protector aligned perfectly with the camera lenses, and there were no air bubbles. In daily use, the protector remained largely invisible, blending seamlessly with the phone’s design. The claimed 98% light transmittance held true; I noticed no significant impact on image quality in various lighting conditions. Colors remained vibrant and accurate. I even subjected it to a few accidental drops (nothing too extreme, of course!), and the protector held up remarkably well, showing no signs of damage. The metal frame feels solid and adds a reassuring layer of protection beyond the glass.

While the camera’s functionality remained top-notch, I did notice a *very* slight softening in extremely low-light conditions compared to the unprotected camera. This was barely perceptible, and only noticeable when comparing side-by-side images under almost impossible shooting conditions. For everyday use, this difference is negligible.

Pros:

• Easy installation with included tray
• Excellent drop and scratch protection
• Minimal impact on image and video quality
• Sleek, case-friendly design
• High-quality materials

Cons:

• Imperceptible slight softening of images in extremely low-light conditions
• Price point may be slightly higher than some alternatives

Overall, the QRG camera lens protector for the iPhone 15 Pro/Pro Max delivers on its promises. The combination of robust protection and minimal impact on image quality makes it a worthwhile investment for anyone looking to safeguard their phone’s camera system. While the slight low-light issue exists, it’s so insignificant that it doesn’t detract from the overall positive experience. I would recommend this protector without hesitation.
