So clever! - my new review

For years, I've been using small post it notes to cover my laptop camera. They tend to fall off and leave residue on the camera, so I was looking for a better solution. Ever since one of my tech savvy friends showed me how easy it was to access webcams wirelessly, I cover it when I'm not using it. It occurred to me I've never thought to cover my phone camera. I LOVE the sunshot. It's perfect for my laptop. The tape is really strong and the magnet doesn't interfere with the hardware. On my…

Pros
  • Universally applicable to multiple devices and brands
Cons
  • Could potentially cover microphone as well

Sleek and perfect for my MacBook

So small and thin! My Mac closed no problem. I had a little trouble getting it straight at first since it’s so small. I was using tape before but this looks much more professional haha

Pros
  • Computers & Accessories
Cons
  • Could be easily lost

easy to use in my review

This is exactly what I needed. It's incredibly thin; has a sticky backing; easy to use. I'm using one for my personal computer (MacBook) and one for my work computer (PC)Not the best pics but below includes pic of the cover on my 13" MacBook

Pros
  • Retains full camera functionalities while offering protection
Cons
  • Could damage device screen during application

Best Invention EVER!

Wow, I am going to order these for everyone in my family! These are the most amazing little things I have ever seen. Say goodbye to my band-aids and post it notes covering my cameras lol! My co-workers are all asking where I got them! AWESOME! The only complaint is that you have to be careful because the little round disk can slip out and get lost. Thankfully, you get a bag full of them, so it is easily replaced.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design appeals to users of all tastes
Cons
  • Could cause glare or reflections on camera lens

Works as desired good for me

I wanted something small and simple to cover my camera - not a giant ugly plastic piece. Happy with the purchase - it is pretty small and while I don't need to toggle it often it's easy enough to slide over. As someone else noted, you *can* flip the slider so you don't see the logo. I wasn't sure how that would work, but it's just magnetic so it's easy to pop off and flip over. For reference, I attached mine to the laptop screen with touch capabilities. No issues closing or with it moving yet…

Pros
  • Affordable and accessible
Cons
  • May not be suitable for high-traffic device usage

Doesn’t seem to work on iPhone.

This item is tiny, tiny and therefore a bit difficult to get just in the right place. It seems to work well on my HP laptop, however, I tried to install the other on my iPhone X and that was an epic failure. I could get it on there but no matter which way I slide it, I can’t take pictures. It’s not the right size.

Pros
  • Blends in with the high-end look of premium devices
Cons
  • May reduce device resale value

Adhesive is not strong enough for cell phone use

This does not stick well enough to stay on a cellphone. It will come off when you put your cellphone in your pocket. I wish I could find a cellphone cover with a built in camera lens cover.

Pros
  • Ideal for video conferencing and online meetings
Cons
  • May not be suitable for users with disabilities

Three Stars good for me

this works for laptops, not for phones, however It lasted longer than my last laptop and i bought a new one for my new laptop.

Pros
  • Provides peace of mind and reassurance
Cons
  • Could add additional weight to device

Great idea! But an issue

I love the idea of this, but in practice the magnetic slider came off of my phone twice. I loved what it could do so much though that I bought another pack, just to lose another slider. Maybe it's not the product, maybe it's just me, I know I can be clumsy. I do like this product and it might work for a lot of people, but I was not completely satisfied

Pros
  • Easy to install and use
Cons
  • May not be suitable for all users

This is a perfect answer to the ubiquitous webcam!

This is a perfect answer to the ubiquitous webcam! I want the webcam to be visible, but I also need to be sure that it's OFF when I want it to be off. I do not need my co-workers to know that I'm telecommuting in my PJs.These covers are very easy to install. I had it done in less than a minute. They are very thin and to not cause any issues when I close my laptop. I am very happy with this purchase.

Pros
  • Ideal for people who frequently use devices in public places
Cons
  • Could be difficult to remove adhesive residue

Two of my favorite words: Simple and Secure

This product is simple and does exactly what it promises. I really like the look of it on my laptop as it isn't a bulky eyesore. The small size leaves me feeling a secure sense of privacy without compromising the look of my investment.

Pros
  • They do the trick but could be easier to slide.
Cons
  • May fall off during use

Convenient and Reassuring Gadget

These work just like you would expect. I love that you can get a multi-pack - I put one on my laptop, my husband put one on his, and we have extras for future devices. They are a tiny bit tough to put on, just because they are so small/flat.but this is good because they do not affect your ability to close your device. I would definitely recommend them!

Pros
  • Made using durable, high-quality materials
Cons
  • May be difficult to clean

Cheap, but serviceable

The metal of the device itself was warped, making only half of it attach itself to my phone at a time. If that wasn't enough, the adhesive on the cover is really bad. The only reason I gave it any stars at all was because after gluing them myself, and fixing the bent one, they actaully work well and are thin. For the price, after I fixed them, these were not a bad purchase.

Pros
  • Compatible with a wide range of devices
Cons
  • May not provide complete privacy protection

I feel safe knowing that I'm not being hacked

Easy to install, can be removed to clean, does not block other features of the camera depending on placement That's my review!

Pros
  • Comes off easy. I have already lost mine. I haven’t found one that actually stays put.
Cons
  • Fulfill the purpose but very expensive cheap material

Good product, had to order some for colleagues

These are great, haven’t had any issues. A little difficult to slide and since it’s magnetic, be careful not to lose it. I’ve flipped mine right off a couple of times.

Pros
  • Designed to be lightweight and unobtrusive
Cons
  • Could limit device functionality

The perfect laptop camera cover

I was pleasantly surprised by how nicely designed and constructed the cover was made. My laptop has dual cameras and was having trouble finding a privacy cover that fit both.Because these are magnetic, I was able to use the cover from the second unit (it comes in a two pack), in one frame to cover both cameras. If I need to use the camera, I can easily take the magnetic cover off. They slide easily and are super thin. Great product.

Pros
  • Available in a range of colors to suit personal preferences
Cons
  • May not protect against physical device theft
