I recently picked up the Lens Protector Cap for Insta360 X4 Premium Glass Lens Guards Scratch proof Tempered glass for Insta 360 X4 Camera Accessories because, let's face it, anyone with an X4 knows that lens protection is non-negotiable. I was hoping for something that offered serious defense against scratches without compromising the amazing clarity of the camera. It’s a high-stakes gamble protecting those lenses, so I was eager to see if these premium guards lived up to the billing right out of the box.

My initial impression was slightly mixed, though. While some buyers have noted that the protectors maintain a clear image without stains and offer great protection, I ran into some installation difficulties. One major sticking point for some users, which I can certainly see, is the installation process; it felt a bit tricky to get them seated perfectly.

Furthermore, there seems to be some debate about the actual material—some folks feel they are definitely plastic rather than true tempered glass, which makes me slightly wary about long-term scratch resistance, even though others insist the image quality doesn't suffer compared to standard protectors.

Despite the installation hiccups, when it sits right, the protection seems decent. I was happy to find that when these protectors get muddy, they are manageable to clean, with one user mentioning they clean them easily with gloves when droplets accumulate. However, I do echo the concern raised by others that the fit isn't always perfect; getting that flawless integration can be tough.

For those prioritizing scratch resistance above all else, if they are indeed higher quality than standard film, they serve a purpose, though getting the alignment spot-on is key for the best results.

So, who is this product for? If you are someone who is very patient with installation and prioritizes adding a layer of scratch defense—perhaps even willing to overlook that they might not be pure glass—this might work out okay for you. Other buyers who demand an effortless setup or perfect alignment might want to look elsewhere, especially given reports that some didn't even come with proper assembly indicators, making them unusable right away.

Overall, it’s a decent attempt at safeguarding the Insta360 X4 lens, but it requires a steady hand and a little luck on the fit. If you’re willing to work with it to gain that extra peace of mind, these Lens Protector Caps could be worth considering for your Insta 360 X4.
