Review on 6 Pack Webcam Cover Black - NanoTech Reusable Adhesive Protection for Laptops, Smartphones, Tablets, Desktops - Works on Any Electronics Surface - Safeguard Your Privacy by Carlos Massey

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Nice different approach to solve this problem. However. still tricky with modern screens

I bought this product because I had problems with the small sliding metal camera covers (which I like) because they can't stick on some modern phones and tablet screens. The new version of Gorilla Glass is much slippery than previous versions, and the self-adhesive webcam covers don't stick securely to it (especially on Microsoft Surface devices, but also on Samsung smartphones). In addition, metal webcam covers can scratch laptop cases and keyboards when in use. When I saw that these new lids are soft and work on a different principle (tiny suction cups), I decided to try them. They tend to work better than glue, but I find them less attractive than sliding metals, and of course they don't slide. That means you have to physically remove and replace the cover when you want to use your camera. Finally, they are not YET fully attached to the (superb) surface presentation where this new glass appears to be a perfectly smooth surface. However, they stick fairly well and don't move nearly as much as adhesive-based coatings, and the fact that the tack can be touched up with water is a big bonus. So I think I will continue to use these cases. because at least I don't have to throw them away once they eventually fall, which they do. In addition, they do not scratch the device. In general, this is a positive review. I think this is probably the best option on the market right now.
