[Reader-users] polerizers

[Dave Wright]

regardless of whether or not the phone is in a case, I would recommend 
closing the camera as it tends to stay active in the background thus 
draining battery. In other word, technically you could leave the camera open 
as the lens is being protected by the polarizers, however, closing it will 
ensure that you are not draining battery. One thing to note that I didn't 
mention in my last message concerning cases is that  it is probably not a 
good idea to purchase a case with any magnet
clasps as the magnet tends to activate the camera for some reason.

   Best Regards,
