Protecting your iPhone 15 Pro or Pro Max’s camera lenses is crucial, and the QRG camera lens protector, in Black Titanium, promises just that. I’ve been using this protector for the past few weeks, putting it through its paces with daily use, and I’m ready to share my experience.

This lens protector boasts several key features. The most prominent is its construction using 2023 upgraded aviation metal and 12 layers of chemically enhanced, electroplated sapphire 9H tempered glass. The inclusion of the one-step installation tray is a thoughtful addition, making the installation process significantly easier than some competitors. The design aims for seamless integration with the phone’s camera, maintaining a consistent look.

The manufacturer highlights its 98% light transmittance, ensuring minimal impact on image quality. This is a crucial element for anyone worried about reduced photo clarity after applying a lens protector. The ‘case-friendly’ design is also a key selling point, promising compatibility with various phone cases.

Installation was surprisingly straightforward thanks to the included tray. The protector adhered perfectly, with no bubbles or imperfections. Throughout my testing, I was impressed by the scratch resistance; minor scratches from keys and coins left no visible marks. The anti-drop protection is harder to quantify in a direct test, but I did drop my phone a couple of times from waist height onto a carpeted floor and the camera lens remained unscathed. This lends credibility to the manufacturer’s claim.

Image quality was minimally impacted. While I didn’t notice a huge difference compared to using the bare lens, I did perceive slightly less vibrant colors in low-light conditions. However, this was a very subtle difference and is likely to be negligible for most users.

I used various phone cases during my testing. The protector remained compatible with all cases I tried, although some slightly tighter-fitting cases required a bit more careful alignment during installation.

Pros:

• Easy installation with included tray.
• Excellent scratch resistance.
• Minimal impact on image quality.
• Stylish design that blends well with the phone.
• Case compatible (with minor caveats depending on case fit).

Cons:

• Very slightly reduced color vibrancy in low light conditions.
• Price point might be considered high compared to some simpler protectors.

Overall, the QRG camera lens protector for the iPhone 15 Pro/Pro Max (Black Titanium) is a solid product that effectively protects your camera lenses while maintaining excellent image quality. The easy installation and stylish design make it a compelling choice. While the price point is slightly higher than some alternatives, the superior protection and ease of use justify the cost, in my opinion. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for reliable camera lens protection for their iPhone 15 Pro/Pro Max.
