The iPhone XS is the 5.8-inch 2018 model, and a rear-camera accessory must explicitly name that phone before it belongs on this list. A glass lens cover or film protects the camera area differently from a raised metal ring, while a sliding camera-cover case protects the phone as a whole. The stand-alone current listings state iPhone XS compatibility and include both camera-glass products and raised protective rings. The final product is visibly labelled a close alternative because it is a full case with a sliding cover rather than a stand-alone lens guard. Check whether an existing phone case leaves room for a raised ring before ordering.

- Fiber-glass rear-camera film
- Two protectors listed in the pack
- Lowest current listed item price
- Includes a spare protector
- Film is different from a raised ring
iPartSolution 3X Camera Glass Lens Cover for iPhone XS/XS Max
iPartSolution’s current eBay listing prices the iPhone XS/XS Max camera-glass option at $7.59 each and shows more than ten available. Select the XS/XS Max variant shown by the seller rather than a similarly named iPhone X, XR, or larger-phone option in the same listing.
- XS/XS Max variant selection
- Three camera-glass covers in listing title
- Specific XS variant is offered
- Current stock quantity is shown

Wigento Camera Protective Ring for iPhone XS 5.8-inch, 2 Pieces
Fruugo US lists Wigento’s two-piece silver protective ring set for the iPhone XS 5.8-inch at $9.95, with one unit left when checked. This is a raised metal-ring approach intended to protect the camera frame; it does not place glass over the lenses themselves.

- Two silver protector rings
- Raised camera-frame design
- Phone size is named precisely
- Two rings are supplied
- Shipping is listed separately at $46.49
Punkcase iPhone XS Camera Protector Ring
Punkcase sells this iPhone XS-only aluminum-alloy camera protector ring for $9.98 and shows an Add to Bag control. Its 0.5 mm raised guard protects by keeping the rear camera area off a surface, with cut-outs intended not to obstruct the lens or flash.
- Designed exclusively for iPhone XS 2018
- 0.5 mm raised aluminum-alloy guard
- 3M adhesive mounting
- Exact XS-only product claim
- Does not cover the lens glass
- May conflict with some waterproof cases
Close alternative: TECH CIRCLE iPhone XS/X Hybrid Armor Case with Slide Camera Cover
This is a close alternative because TECH CIRCLE’s $10.98 product is a full iPhone XS/X case with a sliding camera cover, not a stand-alone lens protector. It is useful for someone who wants a physical camera shutter and phone case together, but it changes the phone’s bulk and grip.
- iPhone XS/X compatible case
- Sliding camera-cover mechanism
- TPU and polycarbonate dual-layer shell
- Physical cover can close over camera area
- Built-in ring kickstand
- Not a separate lens guard
Buying tips
- Confirm the product lists iPhone XS or XS/XS Max, not XS Max alone.
- Remove dust from the camera surround before applying an adhesive product.
- Check that a raised ring will clear the phone case you already use.
- Do not cover the flash or camera openings with a misaligned guard.
- Account for shipping before comparing a low item price.
