Okay, many of us are complaining with a damaged or scratched camera lens, arent't we? So here's a simple guide for noobs on how to replace the camera lens.
DISCLAIMER: I do NOT claim any responsibility for any kind of damage caused to phones by mishandling. If you are not experienced enough in working with this stuff, do NOT try it yourself - you might end up damaging your fone's housing or worse, damaging the camera module.

Just to get this straight, this "lens" is just optically neutral, right?

I would imagine that he means the lens isnt magnifying in any way. Its a simple non concave/convex lens!

I am not sure we can cut lenses that small to be honest, the tracer will have a hard job doing so. You will require a specialist to be honest that can trace such a small lens. Unles the optician is willing to grind it down by hand...take a while and will look really bad.

That lense looks uncoated? Is it the replacement or original? I've been on the eye out for a glass lense for my cam.
Actually, it's not really a lense. A lense changes the path of light (magnification, wide angle etc), whereas this "lense" we want to be as optically neutral as possible to visible light, but opaque to IR. That's called an IR Cut Filter. That's important since Digital Cameras are sensitive to IR and without an IR cut filter the pictures will come out with a purple tinge.
See my IR tute if you are interested in doing actual IR photography with your cam

How ? if you dont mind me asking..
The K750i's lens cover surely does a fine job at protecting the lens.. ?

Its hard to imagine someone damaging the lense in their K750/W800.
A, they are covered. B, they are quite deep down.
But a good tutorial none the less.
