Default Scratched lens!

My gopro lens got scratched today & it spider cracked when it got knocked over on the lens not really even that hard, & now its useless! Why dont they make a stronger or safer lens or protector for it?

Does anyone know if it can be fixed or replaced?

Thx! but i actually got some advice frum a friend and was told to contact mike @ragecams and they had a original wide stock lens & other no fisheyeviews for both model gopro cameras. they said they could install it
for me if i sent them in my camera, and also said they would discount
me the service fee of shipping it back, so im going to give ot a try i
guess, it will be much cheaper than buying a new camera.

SAVED!!!I just received my gopro hd hero camera back from ragecams, dennis was really helpful in helping me select the right lens for my needs, i went with the 4mm & its working great and no more fish eye effect, bending corners of the video, or distortion, rage cams did it in 1 day and shipped it back to me fast, life is good!! Dennis told me the camera has been modified so i can now change lenses without taking the camera apart also and macro focus, whatever that meant LOL, so i did some research on macro focus. but not sure i need a different lens. He also said hero3 was coming out before xmas, and he was gonna give me a smoking deal, so i think i may sell me hero2 if the hero3 is gonna be a major upgrade to the hd2, in the mean time back to filming my craziness! I did a search and found the 4mm lens doing a macro focus that i though was really neat on a green grasshopper and gave me some kool ideas check this out.
