it may be worth your while, contacting them and asking directly for the part?

@tuomanen thank you so much for your help.

Today I get the part from Samsung Galaxy Xcover 3 G388F you suggested to me.

My way to fix my phone.

  1. I heat up the new lens using a normal hairdryer and pull it out carefully with a wooden toothpick from the back side.

  2. Turn of and remove back cover and battery from aqua fish and heat up the brocken lens using the hairdryer.

  3. Use a big flat screwdriver and strong double side duct tape and press to the broken lens and remove all small parts at once.

  4. Clean carefully the open camera.

  5. Give very thin transparent silicone glue to the black frame at new lens.

  6. Use a tiny part double side duct tape and a little screwdriver to bring in the new lens to the fram and adjust to the center.

  7. Clean lens after dry silicone glue and enjoy

Thank you for the instructions! Bought spare parts from ebay.de and replaced my broken lens using your instructions. Looks a bit self-made but works now better that the original!

Had some problems trying to remove the aluminum lens holder from Xcover 3 but otherwise no problems!

I had the same problem. Lens cover was broken and couldn't find a new spare part. Went to a couple local mobile phone repair shops to find a suitable from another phone brand. Yet no new one found, but they had a used Xcover 3 frame as spare parts and it had suitable lens cover. It was replaced for 15€ and works well. Unfortunately cover itself can't be found as a spare. It comes with the whole body/frame and the price for it is unnecessarily high for this purpose. From a broken phone its quite inexpensive to harvest the part.
