so for a 3 pack this is pretty good however even though they are pretty compact these done allow you screen to sit flush no matter what laptop you have. personally when im using my Mac or gaming laptop I would just disable the webcam because then you have to peel the cover off. but if it bothers you that much its a good solution but you screen won't sit flush when you close the laptop and will wobble

There is a thin strip of adhesive and it has stayed in the exact same spot. I haven't had to fold and carry my laptop during this work from home phase, but hoping the adhesive will hold with more movement. I'm not excited about the off-white color in the pack, but that is just a personal preference. The cover slides easy and is convenient to open and close.

This item was much needed during this long pandemic. I needed a Web cam cover to use especially during all the Zoom meetings being held. It came In handy as well during virtual conferences and meetings when one only wants to be heard and not seen. The color of the cover matches the computer. This Is a great gift to adults as well as students.

This is pretty nice that it sticks on and you slide it open and closed. Some cheaper versions either don't stick as well (I've tried a few versions) or you take it on or off each time. Not cheap, but works well.

This is an excellent and ingenious product to use to protect unwanted camera access on your personal devices. The 3 pack comes in handy for multiple devices and the slide tab to block or unblock access is very easy to use.

I decided to purchase this item just in case. Sure enough, I recently got duped by hackers pretending to be from Microsoft. After our session was over, the hacker tried to turn on my webcam and thanks to my webcam cover, was not able to see me. I saw him and got him off my computer quick. Very satisfied with this item.

The guard does what it is supposed to do and the price was reasonable. The problem is that it is too wide to be usable on my or my husband's computer. The location of the camera lens is close to the edge of the screen - isn't it always? - so there is not enough flat surface to attach over the lens. I was able to use one of the pair on my Samsung tablet so it wasn't a total waste. If your computer has a low positioned lens from the edge it might work for you. You will need at least 1/2" from the raised edge of your computer.

Does the job that it's intended to do. It sticks really well on the web cam and it can be removed easily without applying any strong force.

It’s basic. It does what it says. Gives you peace of mind when joint those virtual meetings that no one sees you. Thin. Stays in place. My only complaint was that I would see the door open every now and then. Idk if I actually pushed it open or it just slid when moving my laptop, but always double check that it’s closed.

We all are aware of WikiLeaks and online dangers of webcam manipulation or hacking. So to be sure your webcam stays private get a set of these and then rest assure your cam will remain private till you are ready to use it. Cheap and effective. I am sure it will work on a phone cam as well it just sticks on.

This is easy to install and easy to use, however the adhesive strip on the cover will weaken as time pass. This is good for laptops but also usable for phones and tablets with a front and back camera.

These are pretty much one-time-use covers because unless you’re willing to cut extremely thin double-sided scotch tape, if you position it wrong or decide you want to move/remove it - you’re done. You’re not going to be able to use it again because the cover won’t stick and/or the sticky stuff that kept it where you put it isn’t staying on the back of the cover. So CAREFULLY position it (hint: do it with the cover in the OPEN position so you can center the camera eye in the middle of the opening). And then . . . you’re not going to be able to use it on some future device. Enjoy it where it is.
That said, it works very well on laptops and iPads. You don’t have to be paranoid to want to have the option of covering the camera (front facing) on your device.
