soomz.io Original Webcam Cover directly from the Swiss Manufacturer – elegant and durable - Black Metal, 3-pack!

I was reluctant initially buying webcam covers but I'm glad I tried these out in the end. I have been using camera blocking software so far for privacy and wanted to try something even more secure. I've used two on our Samsung Tab S/S2 tablets, on top of film & glass screen protectors without a problem. More importantly, these covers are thin enough as to not obstruct the protection cases from closing on top, which was a concern initially. Third cover went over the laptop webcam and even though it is a wide angle one it still didn't interfere with it or the screen lid closing fully. The only downside so far I could think of, is that the Tab S2 comes in grey-ish bezel finish and the black webcam cover is a bit of an eyesore; bottom line, a small price to pay if you value your privacy.A tip for people considering these webcam covers. I discovered that the cover's shutter is slightly magnetised, so for an easier/no hassle placement I used the tip of a small metal screwdriver to grab the cover and position it with precision to where I needed it, without trying to hold it or touching the adhesive side of it at all (they are pretty small after all).

I received this within two working days even though it wasn't a prime purchase, sent in an A5 (or so) sized envelope with the 5 covers in a cardboard card ready to pop them out as needed and so the others won't get lost.So far I'm very impressed with this product. Previously our webcams had sticky labels covering them which get fiddly when covering/ uncovering the cameras and don't look particularly attractive. I was wondering years ago why a product like this wasn't available and then I happened to look again a few days ago and I was very pleased to find this product!These work with the front facing cameras on our iPhone's (make sure you don't cover the flash or sensor), iPads and our laptops. It also works on SOME of the rear facing cameras on Apple products including the latest iPad and the first iPad mini - even though the rear facing camera is bigger than the front, with careful positioning it fits well without any black borders. I suspect it will work with older iPhones too, but the iPhone 6S rear facing camera protrudes slightly from the back of the phone therefore I don't expect it will stay secure to the rear camera. Which is a shame, but more a design fault of the iPhone 6S rather than these covers. I'll also note that my iPads are in leather cases which aren't affected by the camera covers but I can't speak for how individual rear leather/ plastic device covers might be affected by the camera covers.These ARE fiddly to position correctly so I'd suggest using something like tweezers, obviously if you drop them a few times on the sticky side or have to reposition they'll not stick as well but once on the cover slides open and closed smoothly and only being a couple of millimetres thick, hardly protrudes at all.I'll certainly be ordering more.

These covers work pretty well and are good quality. If you read the instructions (loads of reviewers don't) the adhesive is very strong and can be removed without damaging your devices. I have used these on a Retina MBP and on an iMac with good results (be careful on the MBP to install the cover vertically, so you don't cover the ambient light sensor).Some would say it's a little paranoid to use these, but I'm more comfortable knowing my webcam is in "night mode" even if it's been hacked LOL. On other computers where I never want to take pics or FaceTime I just use some black insulating tape. The bad news is that the cover I installed on my iPhone lasted a few weeks before the "shutter" became detached and lost - note that the adhesive was still holding strong, even though my phone gets a lot of abuse.Overall pretty pleased, but almost £3 each is too much I think.

These are much smaller than I was expecting them to be, so I was worried both that they would be too small and that they wouldn't be sticky enough to stay on. My fears turned out to be completely unfounded. They fitted fine over my laptop and my tablet camera and I've seen no sign of them coming unstuck at all since I bought them several months ago.It initially looked like they might be too small for my laptop camera, but the camera still shoots just as wide an image as it ever did, so it turns out not to be a problem. The sliding part slides back and forth easily. The slight down side is that this means sometimes if you've been moving your tablet around a lot you find the camera cover has slid part way open, but it's no problem to rectify that. All in all, I'm very pleased with these (although a little surprised that a product this small cost so much - maybe the glue's very high tech and made from something expensive).

I adore this. As someone who lives on technology I also read a lot about the dangers, and although no one has any reason to hack anything of mine (I'm a 23-year-old in marketing who lives in rural England) these covers give you a nice piece of mind about your webcam being covered. It's still super simple to use, you just slide the cover over (which feels very satisfying by the way!) It also means when you accidentally open facetime of photo booth you aren't hit with yourself unexpectedly. plus, three in a pack is great value, so now all of the main webcams in my house are covered! I have recommended this product to everyone I know who has ever raised any concern over webcam safety. Also, super super simple to put on there, even me, and idiot, could do it.
