Protective cover for camera and flash on electronic devices like smartphones that allows the flash to work properly while still protecting the camera. It involves a lens cover with two parts - one near the camera and one near the flash. The part covering the flash has a thinner distance to the device's back surface than the part covering the camera. Additionally, the flash part has a light-blocking coating on its side surface. These design differences enable proper flash illumination by reducing reflections and blocking light from reaching the camera.
