Is there any case that protects the lens well.

Im thinking of getting a 4S and looking at my 4 the camera lens is a little scratched. I don't think its enough to affect the photos, but still.

Thanks

The Seidio Convert has a wonderfully designed, retractable (quickly) lens protector.
 
How are the ion4, the Magpul, Otterbox, and mophie with the lens cover? I think I've read the mophie affects pictures when the flash is used.
 
I just found out that the most ideal case for protecting the iPhone in a slim form factor is the Clarifi from Griffin, However, It's only available for the 3g/3gs iPhone. :(

Any cases similar to this are appreciated!

When you say "lens cover" do you mean an actual protective barrier that COVERS the lens? Or do you just mean a case that protects AROUND the camera/flash area?
 
I've been using an otterbox or the most part and they provide a good amount of protection. The lens doesn't have anything specifically covering it, but with the design. Other then directly nothing can get in.
 
I would fear that if you did find a case that protected the lense, that the pictures wouldn't be very good (clouded).
 
The iFrogz Bullfrogz case has a sliding piece that protects the lens when not in use.

The case overall is just ok though. Nothing special.
