Cracked camera lens

[jyarbrough20]

Hey guys... I dropped my phone last week and cracked the glass lens covering the rear camera....I had it replaced...pretty cheap...but the problem is it took on moisture first time in the shower( I listen to music alot) I had it replaced again today, but am wondering everyone else's experience with this? The guy who fixed it said he put double adhesive on it....but just curious of anyone elses ideas...I figure if it doesn't work this time I may try to replace it again and put a little bead of silicone on it prior to installing...thanks for your help

So do I, but I use a water-resistant Bluetooth speaker here. My phone is well outside of the wet area.

Thing is, if it's not Samsung or their authorized agent conducting the repairs, third-parties, especially if cheap, probably can't guaranty its integrity against moisture ingress. It's rather like with waterproof watches, they're only guaranteed waterproof if any service is carried out correctly by the manufacturer or authorized agents. And NOT the cheap mall or department store watch battery changer kiosk or whatever.
