Camera Protection

This could be a question for many newer phones, especially the S20 line.

I have the S20 Ultra, and even with the Otterbox Symmetry on, the camera "lens"/camera/whatever is more or less flush with the back of the Otterbox cover.

With the S8+, the camera was recessed and I still managed to break the lens, and even after replacing the lens, the camera was never the same.

Has anybody used one of the protectors available? Which one is the best protection while not interfering with camera functions? I know there's already an issue with the camera's A/F at the moment.

A hard call, never used a camera cover. I guess I didn't realize the ultra camera stuck out so much. I have a smaller case and a S20 plus and case sticks out further than camera bump.
