Very thin, easy to mount and operate

This webcam privacy cover is just a very thin neo magnet and a very thin steel frame. There is really very little to it. But it is well made, very thin and tiny. I have a Macbook Pro. It doesn't effect closing the lid at all. I have one on my cell phone front camera. I don't feel it with my ear and it takes up hardly any space on the cell phone LCD. My phone doesn't have the display up around the ear speaker so it covers no active display. The magnet slider is so thin you are unlikely to snag…

Pros
  • The design is sleek and modern
Cons
  • May not fit properly on devices with a thin screen bezel

Excellent Buy - my new review

I have enjoyed the safety in these camera covers. They did not fit an iPhone camera, but they did fit well on various tablets/laptops. Please note that these covers are only meant to be stuck onto a surface once, they are not repositionable. This has been a great purchase. I have recommended this to others who have seen and asked about the camera covers on my laptop.

Pros
  • Comes in a versatile black color
Cons
  • May not be effective against remote access attacks

Great for laptops. Phones not so much.

good product. nice and tiny. adhesive is very weak so works well on laptops but falls off phones due to activity ie in out of pockets and then its basically useless as stickiness is totally gone. Laptops work great.

Pros
  • Wow, these are great! I wish I had purchased these sooner!
Cons
  • May damage the device's screen or body due to the magnetic slider

Works great on MacBook Pro

I have both a mid 2014 MBP and a mid 2017 MBP and these work great on both. They don't do much but what they do they do exactly as you would expect them to. Both laptops are able to close their lids without any issues (some other reviews mentioned this as an issue with non-MacBook Pro laptops).

Pros
  • Can be shared with family and friends
Cons
  • May not be effective against attacks using other parts of the device

Perfect for protecting my privacy

I have a Lenovo Carbon X1. It is very thin and light. I was afraid that these would either be too big to fit on the edge where the camera is, or that they would block the cover. However, they don't interfere with my computer at all. They are the perfect size.

Pros
  • Protects your personal and private information
Cons
  • May require additional software or configuration

They do their job good for me

They were easy to attach to my laptop. I want able to get it exactly where I would have preferred,but it is close enough. It has been on for about a year, and still no issues. I have had friends see it, and love it as it's a better option than using a piece of tap.

Pros
  • Doesn't interfere with the aesthetics of your device
Cons
  • May interfere with the device's automatic brightness adjustment

Not sure about it: my feedback

I returned these because the slider was very rough but still had too much play within the slider frame. I was also concerned that I was pushing down so hard that I would damage my camera lens.

Pros
  • Can prevent unauthorized access to your device
Cons
  • May not be effective against attacks on other parts of the device

Revainrating 4 out of 5

A little too large.

These are definitely helpful and well made. I would have given 6 stars but for the fact that it's a LITTLE large for the space on my phone. in other words, in order for it to cover my camera lens, it also covers the part of my screen that tells what percentage the battery is charged and how many bars I have.For reference, I have a Samsung S8+.

Pros
  • Fits perfectly over your webcam lens
Cons
  • May cause false alarms or privacy concerns

more professional than a sticky note!

These camera sliders are perfect! They are thin enough to not impact the closing of a computer. It's easy to move the circle to go from showing your camera to not. Definitely worth the price!Works way better than a sticky note and looks more professional!

Pros
  • Keeps you in control of when your webcam is being used
Cons
  • May not provide complete privacy protection

Sleek And Functional

Based on the photos, I was expecting something bigger and bulkier, but these are quite small and non-invasive. Very functional and they look like a part of my computer as opposed to something junky added on. Great value.

Pros
  • Secures your device from potential camera hijacking
Cons
  • May interfere with the device's facial recognition or biometric unlock features

I keep this little door over my laptop cam, it slides back and forth to open or close. I do a lot of group calls on my laptop so I feel secure knowing I can "show up" to a meeting with my hair in a ponytail and no lipstick. It does not affect the closure of my laptop or hinder anything - it's very slim and tiny.

Pros
  • Computers & Accessories
Cons
  • May not be suitable for devices with a front-facing camera

Won’t stay in place, won’t stick

Not good. The adhesive is pointless. It will not stick, it slips and slides each time it was slid over. The directions were followed exactly. Also, of note, the moving piece is a small magnet, meaning that it can pop off and get lost. The only reason it’s getting 2 stars as opposed to 1 is because I’m able to put superglue on the back to make it stick and the magnet is good enough. Great idea, horrible execution.

Pros
  • Is a cost-effective way to enhance the security of your device
Cons
  • May not be effective against attacks using remote access tools

Better for laptops than phones

Effective while its on. The adhesive is very strong and the cover will not come off, but due to the fact that it is a magnet the slider cover will come off on anything it can stick to. I put mine on my phone and it'd have to find it every now and then in my purse, or stuck to my keys, but I'm sure it will do much better on a laptop since those typically are closed and when not in use, and probably don't come into much contact with other metals.

Pros
  • Doesn't interfere with the performance of your device
Cons
  • May be mistaken for a scratch or damage and removed by unauthorized individuals

Small item, small price, good results.

Did the trick on windows and mac notebooks. Outer ring has super small but effective adhesive that wipes clean if needed. Inner oval is magnetic and holds tight to ring, allows you to slide from side to side. Works on iPhone also unless you use a Mophie cover which disallows you to slide the phone in and out of their holder. Small item, small price, good results.

Pros
  • Can increase the lifespan of your webcam
Cons
  • May cause problems with facial recognition software

slim, and tiny - holds fast

It's very slim. A little difficult to open/close because there's no nub. It just barely fits over my macbook camera without covering the green activity light next to it. So far the adhesive is great (my previous cover kept sliding down the screen). Just a little pricey for what it is. Also, when my wife put one on her iphone front camera and when the cover is closed the camera seems to be affected by the slide magnets (not black screen but a blurry white one). Also, the sliding shutter is only…

Pros
  • The magnetic slider is smooth and easy to use
Cons
  • May interfere with the device's microphone or speaker

One works great, the other is defective! (PACK OF 2)

I bought this product and received it in the mail promptly, but only one of them stuck to my laptop! I tried to install the first one and it would not stick to my laptop and is essentially useless. The second one sticks, it slightly moves around but not nearly as bad as the first one. I'm not sure how to contact the seller in hopes they will give me a partial refund for the one that's useless. or even just send me a new one that will stick.Would give 4-5 stars if seller accommodates either of…

Pros
  • Can prevent identity theft
Cons
  • May interfere with the device's grip

So I had this for about a week and a half before I had my first issue I covered the back part of my camera on my phone and it was all good fit perfectly snug a few days. When after a few days started feeling very loose so I gave it a little push trying to reinsert the stickiness to the phone directly to it my iPad nothing else and then not even two weeks later it fell off completely 100%. Yeah that's the whole purpose of the device and what I couldn't find it. Got lost among other items. The…

Pros
  • Adds an extra layer of protection to your device
Cons
  • May not work properly with certain camera apps or features

One was broken, the other is fine

When I received this camera covering, I was disappointed to find that one of the two was shattered. The other works perfectly fine and is exactly what I was looking for which is why its getting more than one star.

Pros
  • Compatible with a wide range of devices
Cons
  • May cause inconvenience or delays when using the camera

They were a little fiddly to get lined up, but I've had them on both my laptops for awhile and they're holding up great. I was worried about the magnetic slider part falling off, but they've stuck around. The slider piece does pop off, so you can flip it logo-side down for a plain black cover.

Pros
  • The size is perfect, does not interfere with tablet case. Hope adhesion holds for long time.
Cons
  • Not aesthetically pleasing

Revainrating 3 out of 5

It was good until it fell off and disappeared.

This fit on my macbook pro easily. Install was easy (and I can never line things up properly, ugh!). It's very thin so the laptop lid can still close. It's exactly what I was looking for. It comes with 2, I guess in case you lose one. I'll probably lose the spare before I lose this one. :PEdit: well, it’s not true. This one fell off about about 2m of use. It wasn’t the whole thing: just the cover flap part. I’ve lowered my rating from 5 down to 3 stars. If this one stays on longer, I’ll keep it

Pros
  • They do the trick but could be easier to slide.
Cons
  • May interfere with the device's camera autofocus or auto white balance
